What’s the difference between VASER Lipo vs. Smart Lipo is a common concern in patients that I consult for body contouring. There are definite advantages of Vaser Lipo vs Smart Lipo that should be discussed.
First, Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy to dislodge fat cells from a solid to a liquid form; this is different than smart lipo which uses laser technology to literally drill and liquefy fat cells; Both end in a more liquid form of fat which is then suction able.
Fat cell transfer requires the cells to become vascularized otherwise face death. When a fat cell dies, it can become prone to infection. If there is a small volume of fat cells that die, then the body will be able to remove them.
However, if there is a large volume of fat cells that die in one region, then they cannot be reabsorbed, and will subsequently create a lake of dead fat cells.
A large number of patients will complain that they are not as full as they were in the beginning. A few patients have even made estimates of how much buttock volume they have retained with the most common estimate being 60% volume retention at 6 months.
Why is this so? When undergoing a BBL, fat must be harvested from the body first.
Unfortunately, when the fat is harvested it can be damaged.
