Vaser lipo vs Smart lipo
The difference between these two procedures is a common concern in patients I consult for body contouring. There are definite advantages and disadvantages of VASER & Smart Lipo that should be discussed.
First, Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy to dislodge fat cells from a solid cluster to a single-cell liquid form; this is different from smart lipo, which uses laser technology to drill and liquefy fat cells. Although both result in a liquid form of fat cells, there are real differences between VASER lipo and Smart Lipo.
VASER Lipo vs Smart Lipo Procedures
So, what’s the main difference between VASER & Smart Lipo? The first difference is that the Vaser liposuction seems more aggressive in converting the fat into liquid form, thus making it easier to remove the fat and sculpt the body.
The second more critical difference is the ability of Vaser liposuction to protect the fat from damage. When performing high-end body sculpting, the removed fat is very valuable and serves like putty to build up concavity or volume-deficient areas.
The most popular areas where fat cells are transferred are the lateral hips, buttocks, cheeks, and breasts.
The best analogy that describes how fat cells are emulsified with VASER liposuction vs. smart lipo includes a cluster of grapes.
Imagine the difference between pinching the grapes to burst each one or shaking the cluster so the individual grapes fall off the vine. This is the simple difference between the two modalities; one gently shakes them off into single units and the other smushes them into a liquid form.
Why is the difference between VASER liposuction and smart lipo so important for the integrity of fat cells?
It is because using fat to fill, for example, the buttocks alone is one of the most popular procedures requested today.
Patients expect to have beautiful and generous buttocks contours that will remain permanent. The most important benefit of VASER liposuction vs. Smart Lipo remains the VASER’s ability to provide augmented buttocks shapes consistently that are permanent.
Conclusion: VASER vs Smart Lipo
In summary, the differences between VASER vs Smart lipo are significant. First, the contouring of the body with VASER lipo is superior since it can harvest not only more comprehensive volume but also more accurate removal of fat cells. The second is that the harvested fat cells with VASER are viable and can be used to augment your buttock cheeks, such as in a BBL, or even transfer of fat to the breasts and face as needed
