Tummy Tuck with Vaser Liposuction in North Carolina Abdominoplasty Cost.*

This 55-year-old woman had undergone previous liposuction in the past and although she had good results she noticed that with aging she had persistent stubborn fat deposits. She had somewhat loose skin and wanted a much flatter abdomen than could be afforded with liposuction alone so she underwent abdominoplasty with liposuction by Dr. Glenn Lyle. He utilizes the Vaser device which uses ultrasonic energy to help shatter the fat to allow for even more efficient extraction with power assisted liposuction. This technology is especially helpful for patients who have had prior liposuction as prior liposuction and even things like Coolsculpting causes scarring of the fat and makes secondary liposuction much more difficult. The patient was extremely happy with her outcome. She continued to exercise after surgery and now feels much more comfortable in bathing suits and tight-fit workout clothing.
