High Definition Liposuction with Fat Transfer
High Definition Liposuction (HD Lipo) is a body contouring “Game Changer”. This state-of-the-art procedure calls for precise techniques by the surgeon to sculpt your body and achieve amazing results. High definition liposuction is an advanced technique that takes traditional liposuction to the next level of what it can do for you.
HD lipo or VASER (vibration amplification of sound energy of resonance). A technique that liquefies the fat cell in combination with the use of tumescent fluids in order to break down fat even more while sedating the location. Once fat has totally broken down, it is removed through suction. This method can be used on almost any body part and can strategically remove fat from some places of the body to show off the natural contours and structures beneath. Enhancing shape and achieve muscle definition of the body.
Before you might need to:
-Stop smoking.
– Avoid certain medications.
– Maintain a stable weight.
– Take medication to prevent complications.
– Arrange for help during recovery.
High-definition liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia. Duration depends on the treatment area.
The VASER ultrasound-assisted device will be applied to melt and loosen fat before the surgeon makes a tiny incision to insert the instrument that will remove the fat. Once that is done, if you have decided to have a fat transfer, the fat removed will be cleansed, purified, and prepared before re-injecting into other body parts.
After the procedure, you will be placed in compression garments to help the recovery process. Expect to be away from work for up to 10 days.
Most patients feel up to light exercise at the two-week mark and can hit the gym by one-month post-op. Do make sure to get a green light from your surgeon before proceeding.
Results would show once you have healed.
As long as you maintain your healthy weight, the results of HD lipo will stay visible. Weight gain and loss, pregnancy, and childbirth will all have an effect on the lasting results.
You’ll want to be sure to keep up with a healthy diet and an active lifestyle for the best results once the procedure is over.

Bleeding.
