Not difficult: Vaser liposuction is not difficult. It is a good procedure for areas of previous liposuction or the back where there is more fibrous type fat.

Ultrasound-assisted: Vaser is ultrasound-assisted liposuction. It is not difficult. Actually it is sold as easier than conventional tumescent liposuction (to the surgeons.).

Easy to do: I do mainly vaser liposuction and laser liposuction because it is easier on the surgeon and the patient. There is less bruising and swelling and less pain after the procedure. The recovery is much quicker and i feel the results are smoother than traditional liposuction.

Absolutely: Vaser liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to emulsify fat. It is easy to learn and perform, but like any liposuction, it still involves a degree of artistry. It causes less pain and bruising and thus speeds up recovery. For the surgeon, it is much less fatiguing than traditional liposuction and thus more pleasurable. However it does add an extra step like many other lipo technologies.

VASER: Yes I have performed VASER liposuction many times and there is a learning curve and must train with an expert.
