Vaser Hi Def Liposuction

Vaser High Definition goes one step further in the process of body sculpting than Vaser Liposuction. Developed for men and women who want a more athletic and muscular appearance, the Vaser High Definition technique removes fat from around and on-top of the muscle groups, to enhance the visibility of underlying muscles, producing ultra-defined results.

The best candidates have good skin tone, and can feel the muscle underneath the skin, when contracting. For example Vaser High Definition would remove the small amounts of fat in-between the abs, to bring out a perfect, athletic looking six pack.

• Precision: Vaser High Definition can achieve this high level of muscle definition. Other forms of liposculpture can not achieve this.
• Gentle: Vaser turns fat tissue into a ‘butter’ like consistency, making it easier to suction out. This makes the procedure much more gentle as opposed to the ‘brick’ like consistency of fat with traditional liposuction, which is more aggressive and increases the risk of irregularities.
• Quicker Recovery: Most patients have minimal pain and bruising. Generally most patients return to work within 4-7 days. There is far less swelling and bruising when compared with traditional liposuction.
• Natural, smooth results: Vaser Liposuction melts the fat allowing for a more uniform removal of the fat cells while at the same time tightening the skin.
• Instant Shaping: Immediate improvements are generally seen which continue to improve over the proceeding 6 months.

Below outlines the procedure to expect on the day of Vaser Hi Def Liposuction.

Step 1: Conscious Sedation & Incision Medications are given to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. Incisions (half a centimetre wide) are then made in hidden spots, to allow for the introduction of the cannula. General anaesthetic is an option.

Step 2: Infiltration The area to be reshaped is filled with a tumescent saline solution that helps numb the site and shrink the blood vessels (this helps minimise any blood loss and reduce bruising).

Step 3: VASER A small probe is inserted into the treatment area. It transmits sound energy to break up and liquefy or melt the fat tissue, whilst preserving other important tissues.

Step 4: Suction This technique allows the removal of the fat layer just under the skin to allow for the creation of an abdominal six-pack, with a cannula designed to minimise trauma to surrounding tissue structures such as nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. This approach promotes smooth results and rapid healing. The suction process puts specific emphasis on outlining the muscles of the upper body, like the rectus abdominis, serratus anterior, obliques, pectorals and latissimus dorsi.

Step 5: Skin Retraction The heat from the ultrasound causes the skin to retract to give a smooth, natural result.

After your Vaser Hi Def Liposuction treatment, some fluid drainage can occur from the incision point and drains, this will normally last for 3-5 days. A compression garment will need to be worn for 3 – 6 weeks to assist in reducing bruising/swelling and improve skin retraction. You will return home on the same day of the procedure. You will not be bed-ridden, and we encourage you to move about and not be stagnate. Everybody heals differently, you know your own body and we suggest you listen to it and give yourself time to heal properly. Normal daily activities can be returned to the day after the procedure, however vigorous activities such as exercise or sports must be avoided for 4-6 weeks. You will require regular lymphatic massages over 2 weeks, with our onsite physiotherapist or nurse. The lymphatic drainage massage helps speed up recovery by dispersing the excess fluid to help provide the best results possible. The swelling will peak at 7 – 10 days and subside at 3 -6 weeks. Bruising will last 2-3 weeks. At weeks 2-3 you may develop some underlying scar tissue that can be treated using PRP at our clinic. The 1/2 cm incisions will heal in under a week.
