Hi-def Procedure

Vaser Hi-def

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 damaging connective 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 exercise routine. The first evidence of the improved muscle definition can be seen after about two weeks, when the post-procedural edema has appreciably resolved.
