VASER Hi-Def Abdomen

If you are like most people, you don't have the time, money, or energy to spend whipping your body into shape. You long for a tight, toned, muscular abdomen. You dream of six-pack abs to show off at the beach.

There's something more to it, though. You don't move as well as you'd like to... you hate swimsuit season with a passion... and you can't stand looking at yourself in the mirror.

You want to feel sexy, athletic, and young...

There is hope.

You can have the athletic body you've been dreaming of for so long.

It's time to meet your hot new abdomen, brought to you by VASER Hi-Def and the talented hands of Dr. Daniel Shapiro.

The VASER Hi-Def Liposuction procedure is much like a sculptor performing his art; he simply carves away everything that is not beautiful. In the case of Hi-Def, Dr. Shapiro will simply emulsify and suction away areas of fat that are not contributing to your overall athletic look.

Your skin is designed to stay tight to keep the underlying fat and muscle tissues stable. When fat is removed during VASER Hi-Def liposuction, the skin tightens, producing a “shrink wrap” effect over the top of the muscle. The tightened skin is crucial in creating the muscle definition that makes VASER Hi-Def famous.

This image should help explain how it works. You can see that when that first, thin layer of fat is removed, the skin reacts by retracting horizontally. Then, the thicker, deeper layer is removed, and the skin retracts again, both horizontally and vertically. Everything is pulled tight for a dramatic result.

Understanding Hi-Def in the Male Abdomen

In the male abdomen, there are many areas that must be defined for an overall athletic appearance. From bottom to top...

Steamy "V" - the inguinal ligaments are defined for an athletic cut

Six Pack Abs - the highly coveted ripped abdominals

Serratus (#4) - the exterior obliques and serratus muscles are defined

Chest - the pectoral muscles are sculpted out and often enhanced

Underarm - also sculpted to help define the chest

During the procedure, curves of fat are left over the top of the muscle to give it volume. Then, divets between each section of muscle are sculpted away for definition. This "abdominal etching" results in a supremely sexy set of six-pack abs. The flanks (or “love handles") will also be attacked and reshaped to accentuate a narrow, cut waist.

Real results: From round to ripped

Procedure: VASER Hi-Def of the abdomen, chest, and flanks

This patient wanted a defined six-pack and a tighter, athletically cut waistline. With the capabilities of VASER Hi-Def, he got just what he wanted... which you can see in his confident, satisfied grin.

His abdominals were dramatically transformed from round to ripped, his waist from unremarkable to eye-catching, and his confidence from mediocre to masculine.

You can also see the three-dimensional definition in his abdominals and pectoral muscles that the VASER Hi-Def Liposculpture provided.

Results like these are typical.

Real results: From ample to admirable

Procedure: VASER Hi-Def of the abdomen, flanks

This patient required more aggressive contouring with VASER Hi-Def. The results you see here prove the supreme power of the VASER liposuction procedure. These same results could have been achieved with an invasive technique like a full tummy tuck. Yet this would have resulted in scars, swelling, and a long recovery period. You can see that with VASER, there are no visible scars in the photo. Invasion was unnecessary, thanks to VASER.

The muscular definition that was achieved here is outstanding.

You can see that despite dramatic de-bulking, the skin tightened to provide smooth, tight definition of the abdominals. You can also see that his "love handles" have virtually disappeared, and his waistline is narrower.

Real results: From belly to built

Procedure: VASER Hi-Def of the abdomen, flanks

This sixty-year-old patient wanted to have a muscular, trim abdomen accentuated by a slim waist. You can see that even though he did not choose to have his pectorals enhanced or his arms sculpted, the Hi-Def performed on his abdominal muscles defined his chest by proximity alone.

Because his abdominals and waist look so athletic, he has an overall athletic appearance. Only a trained eye would notice that his pectorals and arms were not as tight and muscular as the rest of his body. You can also see that his love handles are now non-existent.

Once again, VASER Hi-Def has provided another patient with a minimally invasive option to having a healthier, more attractive, and youthful body.

Understanding Hi-Def in the Female Abdomen

There are a few more artistic subtleties to create the perfect female abdomen than for the male.

Abdominal muscles: VASER Hi-Def Liposculpture is completely customizable to each individual. While one woman may want a ripped six-pack, another may simply want a flat tummy. Either way, definition of the abdominals and external obliques serve to narrow and elongate the waistline. This adds length to the torso and gives a youthful appearance. Waist-to-hip ratio: The classic waist-to-hip ratio shows that the perfect curve is achieved when the waist is 70% the circumference of the hips. For women who are over or under the ratio, VASER Hi-Def can provide her ideal set of curves. Flanks: The flanks are sculpted to help accentuate her new curves. VASER Hi-Def gets rid of love handles and muffin tops for a perfect bikini body.

Real results: From paunchy to perfection

Procedure: VASER Hi-Def of the abdomen, back, and flanks

This patient wanted a trim, athletic abdomen that was well-proportioned and defined. The VASER Liposuction was focused on her abdomen, back, and flanks in order to narrow her waist and give her the curves she had always dreamed of having.

You can see the specific focus on the abdominal and oblique muscles that give her an athletic and defined look, yet still very feminine and sexy. Notice that the beautiful shadowing of the outsides of her abdominal muscles contribute to an overall phenomenal result.

Such sculpture is only possible with VASER Hi-Def.

Real results: From unremarkable to unbelievable

Procedure: VASER Hi-Def of the abdomen, back, and flanks; fat transfer to buttocks

This patient wanted a sexy abdomen that curved out into a tight waist with a round posterior to match. In this case, enhancement was necessary to give her the uplifted roundness she desired.

Among many of the outstanding features of using the VASER machine for liposuction is the fat transfer capabilities. Here, the fat was suctioned away from her abdominal muscles, waist, hips, and flanks. Part of it was re-injected back into her body to give her a curved, full buttock.

Fat transfer is safer for cosmetic enhancement than man-made implants.

Results are typical and consistent.

Real results: From straight-edge to sensuous

Procedure: VASER Hi-Def of the abdomen, flanks; fat transfer to buttocks

This patient wanted a curvier, sexy abdomen with defined muscles and a slender waist. As you can see, she went from straight and square to dramatically curvy and distinctly feminine. If you look carefully, you can see that the distance from her hip to the edge of her tattoo is the same in both photos. This shows that nothing was done to her hips; the surgeon only added curve to her waist.

She also wanted a fuller posterior to complement her new, sexy curves. The fat removed during the liposuction was transferred to enhance her buttocks for an uplifted, youthful result.

This is the art of VASER Hi-Def. The procedure changes waists from linear to sensual, creates curves when they could not be naturally obtained, and complements it all with fat transfer enhancements for pleasing results.

Real results: From vexing to voluptuous

Procedure: VASER Hi-Def of the abdomen, back, and flanks

This patient wanted a defined abdomen, toned curves, and a tight waist. Interestingly, this patient had less than optimal skin tone and stretch marks that would have disqualified her for traditional liposuction.

Patients with poor skin integrity are not good candidates for traditional liposuction because their skin is not elastic enough to retract after surgery.

VASER liposuction is revolutionary for those patients who would have been previously excluded. It does not rely on the skin's pre-existing condition. VASER leaves the connectivity of the skin intact, so elasticity is undamaged, and stretch marks or scar tissues are not a problem. Plus, because VASER is so minimally invasive, there are hardly any scars post-operation.
