A. The main difference between standard liposuction and Vaser Hi Def Liposuction is that regular liposuction is a debulking procedure that essentially removes volume and leaves you slimmer with a similar shape. Vaser Hi Def Liposuction is an exacting technique that combines superficial and deep Liposuction with aggressive skin tightening to create an ideal shape for each patient. Vaser Hi Def Liposuction starts where traditional liposuction ends, and through artistic maneuvers can elongate and tighten waists, create curves, define and visually enhance muscle groups, and add volume to chests and buttocks.
A. Vaser Hi Def Liposuction was developed in Colombia in 2002, and was brought to the United States in 2005. The procedure was reported in 2007 in the prestigious Aesthetic Surgery Journal, a publication peer-reviewed by other plastic surgeons certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. Vaser Hi Def Liposuction has been performed safely and successfully in thousands of patients all over the world.
A. Because of the lower amplitude of the Vaser technology used, patients generally experience less discomfort and bruising than standard liposuction. Because there is more fat liquefied, drains may be left in for the first week, and fluid may continue drain for a week to ten days after surgery. Patients are generally back to the gym at 2 weeks. Final results are evident at 3-4 months after surgery.
A. Vaser Hi Def Liposuction is a very precise and advanced procedure that takes specialized hands-on training with the surgeons that invented the procedure. Only surgeons with this formal training can perform Vaser Hi Def Liposuction. To check on a particular doctor's qualifications, go to the Vaser website: (www.vaser.com).
