VASER lipo pros and cons have been debated over the last ten years. VASER liposuction was introduced well over a decade ago as a proprietary technology that allowed for more comprehensive removal of fat from the body.

In order to allow for more fat removal of fat from the body, VASER liposuction utilizes ultrasound energy to literally melt the fat first which can then be suctioned out with greater ease.

This is the simple difference between VASER liposuction and traditional liposuction. However, VASER liposuction pros and cons were to become a great debate following its introduction in 2004. VASER liposuction pros and cons have clearly been unbalanced.

VASER Lipo Pros and Cons

VASER liposuction pros have included:

  • Comprehensive fat removal
  • Ability to sculpt muscle anatomy
  • Ease of healthy fat removal
  • Capacity to correct prior liposuction deformities

VASER liposuction cons have included:

  1. Skin compromise with point endpoint burns and entry hole injury
  2. High learning curve

It is true that the first and second generation VASER machines were plagued by incidents of skin compromise with respect to endpoint burns and entry hole injuries.

However, the third generation machine that was introduced approximately 5 years ago has been updated with safety features that have eliminated endpoint burns. In addition, entry port protectors have made entry burn injuries nearly impossible.

Finally, Solta Medical, the created VASER machines has made a commitment to provide mandatory training to physicians purchasing the third-generation machines.

Today, VASER liposuction pros and cons are definitely leaning towards the pros. There are really no cons to VASER technology other than the steep learning curve. The reason the learning curve is steep is that the potential body contouring results attained with the VASER machine are endless.

If you consider the results that are achievable like this patient you quickly realize that this machine is the GOLD STANDARD of contouring technologies. This patient demonstrates a dramatic transformation following high definition liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, and lower back, making VASER liposuction pros and cons an unfair consideration.
