Plastic Surgeon : Thank you for your question. Vaser liposuction has been around since 2002. This technique uses ultrasound technology to break up fatty tissue before it is suctioned with Vaser cannulas. This technique seems to cause less tissue damage than other techniques of liposuction. You should be examined by a certified plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience in all types of liposuction and see what technique is best for you. It may be able to be performed with local anesthesia and sedation depending on how much needs to be removed and how many areas you want suctioned.

The Vaser liposuction can be performed under local aneshthesia (with close monitoring and often sedation) in an outpatient situation with healing of the suctioned areas in a few days. With your age and weight satisfactory, you would seem to be a good candidate and should expect the procedure to help eliminate any bulges (weight loss alone cannot be expected). A plastic surgeon trained in this technique and certified will be able to examine you and determine with you what you should expect, how the procedure will be done, any risks and options which you should be aware of. Thanks for your question and best of luck to you.l
