First and foremost, be certain that the surgeon you are consulting with is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  Anything less than board certified and you are risking your health and safety.

Secondly, I would ask about how many VASER procedures they have done & how experienced they are with this type of liposuction.  Ultimately your final results will boil down to your unique goals, and the skill of your surgeon, so it’s important to choose a surgeon with experience in the type of procedure you are considering.

Third, it would be wise to view before & after photos of the surgeon’s previous work.  Vaser is different from traditional liposuction in that it uses ultrasonic energy to melt fat, which is then removed with a traditional liposuction technique.

It’s often used for body contouring procedures and in areas where a small amount of fat needs to be removed… which means it requires more skill from the surgeon.  Before and after photos can help you to make an informed decision, coupled with the other suggestions I have listed.

Finally, trust your instincts; did you feel comfortable & well cared for when visiting with this doctor?  Was he/she honest & open with information and answers to your questions?  Did this seem like someone you can trust?  All of those questions are important to ask yourself when consulting with a surgeon, and if you’re not 100% comfortable it might be wise to keep looking until you are.
