Hello and thank you for your question. Although we have used vaser liposuction for the last 10 years and is employed as our #1 technique, I believe a well-trained board certified in plastic surgery can get you an excellent result with many techniques. We have chosen vaser because our patients have told us that they have less pain and discomfort and a  quicker recovery.
