Power-Assisted Liposuction and Drains:
With the power-assisted liposuction device, its precise, atraumatic, and controlled fat removal capabilities contribute to reduced tissue disruption and a lower likelihood of seroma formation. I have found drains unnecessary when using this technique.
VASER and Seroma Formation:
The VASER device is associated with a higher seroma rate. VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells before they are suctioned out. While effective in certain cases, the mechanical disruption caused by the ultrasound energy can potentially lead to more tissue trauma, increasing the risk of fluid accumulation and seroma formation.
