SAFETY EVALUATION OF VASER® IN
LIPOSUCTION SURGERY FOR BODY
CONTOURING IMPROVEMENT
Statement of the Problem: Historically, many approaches have been used to
remove adipose tissue during liposuction. All through the normal refinement
process, upgrades were accomplished by refining different parts of the meth-
odology, for example, careful procedure, cannulas and the utilization of ad-
juvant devices. “In this perspective, it is a stroll without an end goal”. There
are no specific goals, only goals to overcome. Traditional liposuction still
faces the problem of being often a strenuous procedure and considered by
some surgeons with as a technique without much refinement. In this sense,
any initiative capable of generating load reduction and mechanical stress is a
potential optimizer or results. The third-generation ultrasonic device VASER®
(vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance), is intended to bring
greater safety and satisfactory results, especially in the quest for higher defi-
nition and superficial liposuction.
Methodology& Theoretical Orientation: A retrospective study was performed
by Analyzing the medical records of patients who underwent liposuction pro-
cedure to improve body contour with the aid of VASER®, from January 2015
to June 2017, at Santa Monica hospital Centre. Surgical complications were
evaluated and compared with the available medical literature.
Conclusion & Significance: The medical literature, as well as our analysis,
seems to demonstrate that the use of VASER® in liposuction procedures for
improving body contouring presents as a safe approach with low rates of com-
plications. The potential risks of using an ultrasonic device, such as overheat-
ing leading to tissue ischemia, are mostly believed as result of inappropriate
device use.

Felipe Massignan is a plastic surgeon member of
Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery in the federal
district and American Society of Plastic Surgeons
(ASPS). He is an enthusiastic medical doctor in his
expertise, adding current technical concepts with
artistic skills that have been developed since the
beginning of his career. He especially distinguish-
es himself in body contouring plastic surgeries.
He has been seeking to improve his professional
development in major Centres around the world.
Currently, he has virtually become a reference in
his field by using ultrasound liposuction in high
definition.
