Questions to Ask Your Doctor:
Am I a good candidate for
the VASER Lipo® or VASER® Shape procedure?
While VASER procedures can be used to treat
most patients, your physician may suggest an alternate treatment, based on your
body type and medical situation.
Where do you perform the
procedure, and what type of anesthesia will you use?
VASER Lipo can be performed in a physician's
office, surgery center or hospital. For many VASER Lipo procedures, you may
elect to have general or localized anesthesia. VASER Shape does not require
anesthesia and is typically performed in an office setting.
How much fat can you
remove? How many body areas can you treat at once?
Your physician may recommend a
specific number of areas be treated and a maximum amount of fat to be removed
per treatment.
When will I see results,
and what results are realistic in my case?
The kinds of results you can expect will
usually depend on your body type and your exact procedure.
How long is the healing
process?
While the
recovery process is usually minimized with VASER Lipo compared to traditional
liposuction surgeries, you can expect to go through a period of healing
post-treatment. This healing process can be affected by the total amount of fat
removed and the number of body areas treated.
There is no downtime
with VASER Shape procedures.
How much will my
procedure cost, and what are accepted forms of payment?
The cost of your VASER procedure will
often vary according to your physician and factors such as numbers of body
areas treated, type of anesthesia used, etc.
