AI Article Synopsis
- VASER liposuction is a modern fat removal technique that allows for precise body shaping with less trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in reduced pain, swelling, and recovery time compared to traditional methods.
- A study was conducted to compare complication rates in patients undergoing VASER liposuction based on their body mass index (BMI) and the quantity of fat removed.
- Findings revealed that patients with a BMI over 25 experienced complications like contusions and hematomas, while those with a BMI under 24.9 had no complications, suggesting that careful patient selection based on BMI and other factors can enhance outcomes and reduce risks.
Article Abstract
Background: Vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER) liposuction is an innovative technique that allows surgeons to selectively remove fat and shape desired areas of the body, resulting in more precise and controlled outcomes compared to traditional liposuction techniques. VASER liposuction offers several advantages, including targeted action that reduces trauma to the surrounding tissues, limiting pain, swelling and recovery time.
Purpose: This study compared the complication rates among patients who underwent VASER liposuction in relation to their body mass index (BMI) and the amount of fat aspirated.
Methods: The authors reviewed the medical records of all patients who underwent VASER liposuction at Scalera Clinic in Naples, dividing them into two groups: the first with BMI < 24.9 kg/m and second with BMI >25.0 kg/m.
Results: The authors examined 117 patients who were operated on within a year (2022/2023), with 48 of them having BMIs < 24.9 kg/m and 69 showing BMIs >25.0 kg/m. In patients with a BMI >25 kg/m, the most common complications were contusion, hematomas and abnormal skin retraction, whereas no complications were observed in the patients with normal-weight.
Conclusions: To minimise post-operative complications and maximise results, it is advisable to select patients based on their BMI assessment, the anatomy of the treated body area and the volume of fat to be removed. This approach aims to ensure that the patients are suitable for the procedure and the achieved results align with their aesthetic expectations.

Plastic Surgery Unit, San Carlo di Nancy Hospital, Rome, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Weight loss patients often have significant abdominal skin laxity due to rapid weight loss and bariatric surgery, prompting the development of new body contouring techniques.
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of helium plasma radiofrequency (HPRF) technology for tightening skin after lipoabdominoplasty in 100 patients, focusing on safety, satisfaction, and outcomes.
- Findings showed high patient satisfaction (88% rated 5/5 on the Likert scale) and minimal complications, demonstrating that HPRF-assisted lipoabdominoplasty can enhance body contouring with lower risk of scarring and complications.
Evaluation of Traditional Liposuction, VASER Liposuction, and VASER Liposuction Combined with J-plasma in Management of Gynecomastia.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
November 2024
From the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, Menoufia, Egypt.
Background: Because gynecomastia is one of the most considerable aesthetic procedures for men, we are researching in our article recent management methods for high grades of gynecomastia.
Methods: This prospective study included 45 individuals with gynecomastia, divided into 3 groups: group A (15 individuals) managed by traditional liposuction, group B (15 individuals) managed by vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER)-assisted lipoplasty, and group C (15 individuals) managed by VASER and J-plasma. Authors used a skin fold caliper for measurement of subareolar disk size and a Cutometer for assessment of skin pliability and firmness.
Optimizing Safety and Precision for Secondary Liposuctions: Integrating Intraoperative Ultrasound With VASER Technology.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Ospedale Santa Maria della Misericordia, Udine, Italy.
Background: Liposuction has gained significant popularity, leading to increased demand for secondary procedures due to complications such as scars and fibrosis that affect aesthetic outcomes. High-Definition Liposuction (HDL) has emerged as a preferred technique, but the presence of fibrosis from prior surgeries may limit its effectiveness.
Objectives: This study explores the application of ultrasound-assisted VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance; VASER-Solta Medical, Bothell, WA) liposuction in secondary abdominal liposculpture to address these challenges.

Background: During the last decade, the demand for top surgery in female-to-male transgender (FMT) has increased worldwide. This study aims to present our initial experience with the novel use of ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) in top surgery. Additionally, we evaluate the satisfaction and quality of life with TRANS-Q and BREAST-Q.
