Does VASER Liposelection work?

Vaser LiposelectionVASER Liposelection is a great solution to removing unwanted fat deposits.  I treat many patients with VASER for removing fat in areas such as the abdomen, inner & outer thighs, the “love handles”, and upper arms.  Sometimes it’s possible to touch up the appearance of lumps or irregularities successfully with Vaser, if there is no skin laxity.

However Vaser cannot improve the appearance of loose or excess skin, and in fact further liposuction can actually make the situation worse.  For patients who are interested in removing excess skin post liposuction, the best way to do that would be to have a tummy tuck if the skin is in the abdomen area, or a thigh lift or arm lift if the skin is in those areas.

The reason for this is that the excess skin will need to be lifted & removed in order to create the smooth and tight appearance you are looking to achieve.  As with any procedure it’s always best to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, experienced in the procedures you’re considering.  You can then discuss options suited to your unique situation.
