Vaser Hi Definition Liposuction

Vaser Hi-Definition Liposuction is an advanced fat removal technique designed to achieve more precise results by targeting fat around muscle groups. Unlike standard liposuction, Vaser Hi-Def is aimed at revealing muscle definition that already exists. It’s commonly performed on areas like the abdomen, chest, back, arms, and thighs. This technique utilises ultrasound technology to liquefy fat before removal, minimising trauma to surrounding tissues.

Who is Suitable for Vaser Hi-Definition Liposuction?

Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction may be suitable for those who:

  • Are in good overall health.
  • Have moderate levels of fat but want to achieve greater muscle definition.
  • Are already close to their ideal weight but want to refine specific areas.
  • Have good skin elasticity for optimal results.

This procedure is not a substitute for weight loss. It is ideal for individuals who are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle following the surgery.

What to Expect on the Day of Surgery

  1. Pre-Surgery Preparation:
    • You will be given instructions about fasting and medications prior to surgery.
    • On arrival, your surgeon will mark the areas being treated and discuss any final questions.
  2. Anaesthesia and Sedation:
    • Vaser Hi-Def is typically performed under conscious sedation to ensure comfort during the procedure.
  3. The Procedure:
    • Small incisions are made in the targeted areas.
    • A tumescent fluid is injected to numb the area and minimise bleeding.
    • The Vaser probe is inserted to emit ultrasound energy, liquefying fat for easier removal.
    • The liquefied fat is removed using a cannula, with a focus on sculpting around muscles to define the existing muscle.
  4. Post-Procedure:
    • You’ll be monitored for a short time before being discharged to recover at home.

Recovery After Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction

Recovery varies between individuals, but you can generally expect:

  • Compression Garments: These are worn to support the treated areas, reduce swelling, and assist in healing.
  • Swelling and Bruising: Temporary swelling and bruising are common and will subside over a few weeks.
  • Time Off Work: Most patients can return to light activities within a week and resume normal exercise within 4–6 weeks, depending on your doctor’s advice.
  • Visible Results: While some improvement is noticeable early on, final results typically take 3–6 months as swelling fully subsides and the skin adjusts.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, Vaser Hi-Definition Liposuction carries potential risks, including:

  • Swelling and bruising.
  • Temporary numbness in treated areas.
  • Irregular contours or asymmetry (rare, especially with experienced surgeons).
  • Infection or delayed healing.

Choosing an experienced surgeon is crucial to minimising risks and achieving optimal results. During your consultation, your doctor will provide detailed information about the procedure, risks, and what to expect.
