Best liposuction technique

Question: What is the best liposuction technique?

Answer: There are many liposuction techniques that sound great like “laser” and “vaser” (which is ultrasonic), but really they are all just a marketing gimmick.

All of these techniques are designed to make the operation easier on the surgeon by melting the fat cells because liposuction is actually a lot of manual labor. Many surgeons quit when they get tired, instead of when they have achieved the best result for patient. Many of these newer technologies have no advantage to the patient and are no less invasive, but have increased risk of complications. Vaser can cause burns of the skin and fluid collections called seromas. Laser liposuction claims to tighten the skin, but there have been no studies showing this is true. Furthermore, laser liposuction coagulates the blood vessels, which are important for healing and can limit other surgeries in the future, including certain types of tummy tucks.

Power liposuction is what I do and is traditional liposuction with a vibrating cannula that makes it easier on the surgeon, but without any increased risk of complications. In addition, I can combine power liposuction with the SAFELipo techniques, to ensure patients get smooth contoured results without deformities of dimpling or wavy uneven skin.

This process has answered the challenge in body contouring and creates stunning results. In my opinion the optimal outcome after liposuction has more to do with the effort and expertise of the surgeon than any new product.
