Who is a good candidate for Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction?

You’ve probably heard of liposuction before. You know, the surgical procedure in which unwanted pockets of fat are removed to give patients a more sculpted appearance? Well, there’s a new procedure on the block, and it’s revolutionizing the way we think about fat-reduction. High Definition liposuction utilizes an advanced form of ultrasound technology for more dramatic results.

High Definition (HD) liposuction is a highly-customizable body contouring procedure that’s producing exceptional outcomes. It’s a completely different level of liposuction compared with other surgical procedures. Unlike traditional liposuction, the state-of-the-art VASER system liquefies fat cells for easy removal.

HD liposuction uses focused ultrasound wavelengths to stimulate collagen contraction. This means patients with minor skin laxity can achieve both fat-reduction and skin tightening in one convenient procedure. Very few surgeons in the country can produce results like the ones Dr. Harris is getting.

High Def liposuction isn’t just for men. More and more women are opting for the procedure to sculpt and contour the chest, back, abs, and more. Dr. Harris knows the slight variances that it takes to define muscles and give men the chiseled look they want. Women are different in that he can make the torso appear longer and provide a more toned, athletic look. Many women will opt for fat transfer to the buttock to provide a more athletic appearing backside.

Popular treatment areas for women include; abdomen, waist, face and neck, upper arms, and thighs. You may be a good candidate for HD liposuction if you have unwanted fat pockets that are non-responsive to diet and exercise.

Ideally, patients should be non-smokers who are in otherwise good physical health and have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for them. HD liposuction is not intended for significant weight loss. Men and women who are within 30% of their desired weight and have relatively good muscle tone typically have an optimal outcome from their VASER treatment.

Dr. Brady Harris is the first, and only, board-certified cosmetic surgeon to perform High Definition liposuction in the mid-Tennessee area. He’s achieved exceptional results which can be seen through his numerous case studies. Dr. Harris has spent a good deal of time traveling the country lecturing and teaching other surgeons the skills and techniques to get top-quality results with High Def liposuction.

Who is a good candidate?

Men and women who are in good health and who can set realistic expectations for the procedure, as well as its outcome, may be excellent candidates for VASER Hi Def Liposuction. It helps greatly if patients are at or near their ideal weight since the procedure is used to target areas such as the abdomen, which can be troublesome as they prove resistant to the efforts of diet and exercise.

Often referred to as “six-pack lipo,” VASER Hi Def Liposuction is extremely versatile and can be effective in helping the abs achieve the popular “shredded” look. Despite the fact that it can help patients shed a few pounds, it is important to remember that it is not a weight-loss procedure. Since VASER Hi Def Liposuction may make the skin look tighter, it is important that the elasticity of one’s skin also be in good condition as to avoid a sagged appearance in the future. To maintain optimal results, patients should stick to a healthy diet and regular exercise routine following their procedure.

What the procedure involves

Before beginning their hour-long VASER Hi Def Liposuction procedure, patients at Dr. LaGrasso’s surgery center in Miami, FL are made comfortable and placed under anesthesia. A saline solution that makes tissue in the targeted areas expand temporarily and shrinks blood vessels is injected to ease the extraction of the fat cells. A device that deploys ultrasonic frequencies is used to loosen and then dissolve the fat. Through small incisions in the skin, the fat is suctioned out through a small tube called a cannula. During this time, the area will be masterfully sculpted to create noticeable contours. Once it is removed, the fat may be subjected to a purification process before being reinjected into other parts of the body, during a procedure called a fat transfer, to add desired volume and curves.

What happens during recovery?

Following your procedure, you will be taken to the recovery room at our advanced surgery center. Smaller incisions are required than with traditional liposuction surgery. Therefore, Miami patients who undergo VASER Hi Def Liposuction tend to experience less pain and discomfort and may heal more quickly. It will be necessary for you to wear special compression garments for a period of time after your procedure is completed. These will help to properly circulate blood and minimize swelling as your body acclimates to its new shape.

Count on taking a week to 10 days off from work as you recover. Be sure to attend any follow-up appointments that are scheduled so that your status and progress can be observed. It is important to adhere to any physical restrictions that are put in place. These may last for several weeks to allow your body to heal properly. Keep in mind that it may be up to four weeks before you are able to resume a regular exercise routine. Within 3-4 months of surgery, any swelling should completely subside, at which time the full, long-lasting results of your VASER Hi Def Liposuction should be evident.

What does it cost?

Because it requires more sophisticated equipment and training, coupled with its ability to achieve more sculpted results than traditional lipo, the costs associated with VASER Hi Def Liposuction usually are slightly higher. Most Miami patients can expect their procedure to run between $3,000 to $14,000.
