VASER Hi-Def For MEN

I think we all look at Men’s Health Magazine covers and wish that we had the same body. As men, our bodies inevitably accumulate fat in predictable areas, notably beneath the chin, the abdomen, the flanks (love handles), and in the breasts which in men is called gynecomastia. Traditional liposuction techniques whether it is tumescent or ultrasonic, have been limited to “debulking” or simply reducing volume or body circumference, and do little to provide a more athletic or muscular appearance. This is because most or all of the fat removed is deep fat, whereas superficial fat is the layer that gives muscular contour and definition. Unless you get to extremely low body fat (that is unsustainable unless you are an athlete), the chiseled abdomen and sculpted torso that you dream of will remain essentially a dream. If you are moderately overweight, hate those genetically resistant fat deposits, or spend hours relentlessly exercising and dieting without successfully realizing your goals, VASER Hi-Def Liposuction may finally help you achieve the body you desire.









Developed in Bogota Colombia in 2002 by Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, VASER Hi-Def Liposuction has safely helped thousands of patients achieve lean, ripped, muscular contours that bring body definition to a new plateau. Imported to the U.S. by Dr. John Millard of Denver, VASER Hi-Def sculpts both deep and superficial fat allowing underlying muscles to appear more distinct. By retaining fat in certain areas, and accentuating the borders of muscles, this procedure produces shadows and highlights that impart a three-dimensional appearance that produces that sustained “buffed” look.









VASER technology enables this procedure by allowing separation of the skin from the underlying fat, maintaining connective tissue bridges to produce predictable tightening of the skin in both horizontal and vertical directions. This effectively serves to “shrink-wrap” the skin around the new underlying muscular contours.









This combination of selective deep and superficial fat contouring, along with circumferential skin contraction enables the spectacular results only available through VASER Hi-Def Liposuction. The diagram of a male torso on the left illustrates fat removal and skin contraction produced between muscle groups that appear as shadows, and the retained fat on top of muscle groups that combine to give the 3-dimensional appearance of shape and volume effectively producing the abdominal rectus muscle “six-pack”, and contour of surrounding muscle groups including the oblique and serratus muscles.









VASER Hi-Def Liposuction has been taught to fewer than 75 surgeons in the world, and less that 17 in the United States. It was first reported in The Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2007, which is a prestigious journal that is peer reviewed by plastic surgeons certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. Thousands of procedures have been safely and successfully performed throughout the world, and Dr. Shapiro is extremely proud to have been selected to bring this advanced technique to his patients in Arizona after training personally in Colombia with Drs. Hoyos and Millard.









Specifically, the abdomen can be contoured by highlighting the rectus abdominis muscle with its tendinous inscriptions(the six-pack), the external oblique and serratus muscles, along with defining the inguinal ligament and narrowing the waist for the most cut, athletic appearance possible. The result is a natural but enviable physique that appears completely nonsurgical and without visible scars.









Who doesn’t dream of stronger, more chiseled pecs? Through VASER Hi-Def, the chest muscle is defined around its borders with the ribs by removing excess fat and tightening the skin, and can be further strengthened with the addition of fat above, beneath, and into the pectoralis muscle achieving contour previously possible only with pectoralis implants.









This patient desired a trimmer and more athletic body and underwent VASER Hi-Def Liposculpture of the abdomen, chest, back and flanks. The fat around his pectoralis muscles was removed and the skin maximally tightened including the chest wall and axilla. Fat was reinjected above, below, and into the pectoralis muscles providing him with a higher and tighter appearing chest without the need for solid silicone pectoralis implants. This result is typical with patients undergoing VASER Hi-Def Liposculpture.









Arms can be made to appear more muscular and athletic by utilizing the same techniques of deep and superficial fat contouring combined with maximal skin tightening to highlight specific muscle groups including the biceps, triceps, and deltoid muscles.









The posterior torso can be defined by highlighting the latissimus muscle, and the highly coveted masculine “V” shape is further strengthened by unmasking the midline paraspinus muscles and contouring the flanks with maximal fat removal. A high, tight male buttock is achieved by defining the muscle through VASER Hi-Def, and mid and superior buttock fullness can be further enhanced by the addition of fat injections. By reinjecting one’s own fat harvested from the VASER Hi-Def procedure, buttock implants are no longer necessary. The athletic back and buttocks resulting from this combination, in my opinion, has not been previously possible before the advent of VASER Hi-Def Liposculpture, and beautifully complements the small tight waist that results from maximal flank fat contouring and skin contraction.
