Is VASER or Tumescent Liposuction right for me?
The addition of VASER liposelection increases our options for areas that can be targeted with liposuction. It also allows us to give better results with less bruising, less discomfort, and a shorter recovery time. But tumescent liposuction is still a good procedure for some applications.
Tumescent Liposuction is still good for use in areas where fat is soft, and where large fat deposits may make using the smaller VASER cannulae (suction tubes) impractical and where nerves and blood vessels are less dense. This includes the belly and love handles and the upper arms.
VASER Liposelection is better for most applications. It is better in areas where small amounts of fat are being targeted to give better definition to muscles and/or bone structure. This includes ankles and calves, neck and chin area, and "body etching" applications to improve the appearance of muscles you have worked hard to achieve but are lost below stubborn fat deposits. It is also good for the neck and face because it results in less bruising and damage to the dense nerve and blood vessel structure in the area. Vaser is also better for fat deposits that are more fibrous, such as the upper back.
VASER is a great leap forward in terms of liposuction technology, and it is our method of choice for most applications, but in some cases tumescent liposuction may still be chosen. To learn more about which might be best for you, schedule a liposuction consultation with Arlington plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Desman today.
