I have been reading a lot lately about vaser liposuction. Anyone had it done and how does it compare to normal liposuction.
I know that it wont do anything for gland removal but what if the gyno was all fat. Im just interested to hear if anyone has had it done. Yes you can find lots of pictures and testimonials from people on various websites, but you know the internet does hype things up sometimes.

In spite of the word or words used in front of Liposuction, it is all liposuction. Some variants are better than others and in some cases it is just a word game.

There seems to be a higher than average level of dissatisfaction post operatively when a limited procedure (such as Lipo only) is planned from the outset.

The best idea is to leave the options open for the surgeon to tailor the procedure to fit the conditions found as the procedure progresses.

It would be rare for either fat or gland to exist without the other, usually both are present.

Vaser is a pulsed ultra-sonic liposuction.  It can work well on fat (so do lots of other methods) but it has no effect on breast tissue.  IMHO, it does not work any better than many other methods of doing liposuction.  If gland has to be excised, vaser won't do it.
