Vaser High Definition Liposculpture

What is VASER High Definition Liposculpture (Vaser Hi Def)?

VASER Hi Def (VHD) is an advanced body contouring technique. It is performed with ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty technology (Liposelection, VASER).The results reveal a sculpted, well toned, natural musculature intended generally for fit men and women who seek greater visibility of their muscular detail.

How is it different from traditional liposuction?

What high definition liposculpture does is to remove the deep and superficial fat which blocks the detail of the underlying muscles While the goal of a regular liposuction procedure is just to trim away fat to make a patient slimmer, Vaser Hi Def demands a surgeon to go one step further going into places previously off limits to liposuction and sculpting the body in such a way never before achieved by conventional liposuction.

Who are ideal candidates for VASER Hi Def?

Since high definition liposculpture is designed to be a sculpting procedure rather than a debulking technique, the appropriate candidate is the person who has good muscle tone without excessive amounts of fat or lax skin. Vaser Hi Def is most effective for those who are already physically fit, and seek to add an even greater, more chiseled and sculpted look to their efforts. The procedure can change the perception about liposuction and should be viewed as an adjunct to a fitness program and not as a failure to treatment.

How is Vaser Hi Def performed?

The procedure involves precisely performed, deep and superficial liposuction around muscle groups in the abdomen: the chest in men and the lower back and gluteus in women using ultrasound assisted lipoplasty (VASER). The Vaser instrument selectively liquifies the fat and allows the surgeon to target specific fat layers to create the desired sculpted appearance of the muscles without damagingconnective tissue.

What goes on during a VHD procedure?

The procedure is performed with tumescent anesthetic infiltration. The first step is to mark the muscle bellies that will be enhanced. In women, high definition liposculpture targets the serratus muscles, the obliques and the rectus muscle in the abdominal area as well as the gluteus and perispinal muscles in the lumbosacral curve. In males, the same abdominal muscles are targeted with attention also directed to the transverse tendinous intersections within the rectus abdominous muscle in order to create a washboard appearance. In addition, the pectoralis muscles are enhanced because of their contribution to the anterior topographical view. The sculpting procedure begins with fat removal that creates a “picture frame" around the muscles to be enhanced. Next, the surgeon performs more precise sculpting that leaves behind small amounts of fat to amplify the underlying muscle tone.

What happens after a VHD procedure?

After the procedure, patients must wait about a month before returning to their exerciseroutine. The first evidence of the improved muscle definition can be seen after about two weeks, when the post-procedural edema has appreciably resolved.

What are the possible complications?

The risk of seroma is slightly increased with this procedure probably because it involves removal of the superficial fat. Seroma is less likely with a traditional liposuction that primarily involves removal of the deeper layers of fat. However, if it occurs it is easily treatable in the office and does not adversely affect the final result of the high definition procedure.

Pre-Op Instruction:

• Consultation with surgeon

• Evaluation for other medical conditions

• ECG and Blood test will be taken

• No intake of food or water 6 hrs prior to surgery

• Compression garments should be available to be used post-op

• Stop smoking and alcohol intake at least 2 weeks before surgery

• Anticoagulants, vitamins, hormones (including birth control pills), anti-depressants and some other medications also to be stopped at least 2 weeks before surgery.

Post-Op Instruction: 

• Wrap treated area with compression garments snugly and continuously for 6 days-2wks.

• A day after the surgery, patient may have light to moderate physical activities

• Some incisions will be left open and a drain will be placed in some areas. Drainage is expected, absorbent pads should be used and changed frequently as needed.

• Incisions will close by themselves within 2-3 days. Use bandaid to protect incision sites.

• Keep incision clean

• May have quick bath after 2 days post op. Regular shower when incisions are closed.

• May use regular girdle 2 weeks after compression garments.

• Do not apply icepacks or a heating pad to skin overlying the areas treated by liposuction

• Do not soak in a bath, Jacuzzi, pool or beach at last 7 days post-op

• Bruising may diminish after 2-3 weeks

• Return for check-up after 2 days for removal of drains and stitches.

• Swelling is expected, Maximal in the first 2 weeks, then gradually subsides. Final result in 3-4 months

• Skin may feel numb on the surface but insides are tender to touch.

• Some areas may become hard and lumpy, this is normal and will go away when fully recovered

• Regular exercise work out may start after 2 weeks, start with light exercise then gradually move your way up to your regular routine as tolerated by your body.
