Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction also called Vaser Liposuction. The liposuction method uses a cannula which transmits ultrasound vibration within the body. The ultrasound vibration will burst the walls of the fat cells and liquefying the fat. This will make it easier for the suction.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction has slightly less blood loss comparing to the old tumescent liposuction. However comparing to Water-Assisted Liposuction, Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction has more blood loss.
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction produces heat when performing the surgery. The ultrasound vibration produces heat which can be harmful to the body. This heat can leave irregularity of skin or permanent ugly scars after the surgery.
Water-Assisted Liposuction produces no heat when performing the surgery. A thin fan-shaped water beam cannula is used with Water-Assisted Liposuction. This cannula is really helpful when performing liposuction. It adds water continually during the liposuction session.
The water that the cannula adds will help loosing the fat cells in the body. The fat will be sucked very easily.
Water-Assisted Liposuction will not leave irregularity of skin or permanent ugly scars. More over the suction capability of Water-Assisted Liposuction is 10 times more than Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction.
Water-Assisted Liposuction has a suction capability of 2000 - 3000 cc. per session while Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction has lower suction capability of 400 – 500 cc. per session.
The recovery time of Water-Assisted Liposuction is better. It’s only takes 7 – 10 days. Also this method is less pain, bruise and swelling.
Therefore Water-Assisted Liposuction is better than Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction.
Water-Assisted Liposuction helps you reduce your costs because in one session of the operation you can get rid of more fat. This method is also the safer way comparing to Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction.

You can discuss with your surgeon during the surgery about the seeing result. This means the result is adjustable with your help to the surgeon.
