After : After any kind of liposuction including vaser, your fat deposits will occur more so in the areas that have more fat cells. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Yes, : Yes, for the most part vaser (it really is ultrasonic liposuction but the name sounds like laser and it is not laser) is like any other form of liposuction when it comes to removing fat and the consequences of subsequent weight gain which tends to accumulate in non-liposuction treated areas for the first 10-15% of weight gain above your ideal body weight. Thereafter, you will put on fat everywhere.

Don't gain weight: Liposuction with any modality is to help improve discrete areas of problematic fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction is not a substitute for diet and exercise. You would have to gain significant weight after any lipo for the weight gain to appear abnormal or unnatural. The point is that you shouldn't have lipo if you can not commit to a sustainable healthy lifestyle.

Try To Not Gain : Keeping your weight stable after liposuction decreases the possibilities of these weight shifts. No lipo technique is immune to them. Liposuction is not weight loss.
