Vaser Liposuction Improves Abs and Breast in Men in North Carolina*

This 47-year-old man decided to start working out later in life. He managed to lose 20 lbs. but couldn't get much improvement in his abdomen or breasts. He underwent liposuction with (ultrasonic liposuction) and standard liposuction with removal of almost 1.5 liters of fat from his abdomen and breasts. He noted significant improvement in his physique and subsequently was more motivated in the gym now that the carpet of fat had been removed. This case was done with older technology. Dr. Lyle now uses the newest generation of VASER- a form of ultrasonic liposuction combined with PAL (Power assisted liposuction) to improve results. A more aggressive form of sculpting can be achieved with these technologies. Who are the ideal candidates for liposuction? Generally healthy patients who are at normal weight or perhaps somewhat overweight but not obese. Skin tone is important meaning the skin has to be pretty firm with not a lot of looseness or stretch marks. In these patients, excisional procedures like tummy tuck may be necessary to achieve the best result. Liposuction recovery is usually fairly rapid with return to activities such as working out within a month and return to work within the week..
