Advantages?: It all depends on what you are trying to achieve, and what the cause of the problem is. It is good to know your options, but without the correct information, the answers you recieve are meaningless. It's like looking at wrenches when you need a plumber. On the other hand, if you find an experienced trustworthy doctor in your area, they can help you find the best solution for your problem.

None!: Velashape is a non invasive treatment that selective shapes the body. This shaping is very subtle and serial photos are needed to see the change. Liposuction will more precisely remove fat in larger volumes than any non invasive treatment. If you look at cost in relation to time and volume removed, liposuction is a much better value. Velashape is useful for post lipo treatment and volumes <100cc.
