Any surgery has inherent risks, but these are minimized by adhering to safety protocols and through the use of our AAAASF certified Operating Room. You should be extensively cleared with a thorough physical from your PCP, blood work, and possibly an EKG and/or chest x-ray before the date of the operation. VASER liposuction itself is actually safer than traditional liposuction due to significantly less blood loss and nerve damage due to VASER melting the fat before removing it.
