Typical body sculpting procedures like liposuction involve the removal of excess fatty tissues in certain parts of the body. More recently, though, there are an increasing number of cosmetic enhancement patients that demand more specific results. They want the fat removal procedures to simultaneously emphasize muscular builds and bone structures. In order to comply with the need for high definition body sculpting, methods such as VASER Hi-Def were developed.
The VASER Hi-Definition body sculpting technique is a liposuction method that utilizes ultrasound energy to melt the excess fat in a particular area of the body. The procedure is less invasive than other liposuction options. In addition, the selective characteristic of the method ensures that the tissues surrounding the fatty deposits would not be harmed or damaged during the procedure.
Once the target area for liposuction is determined, a special liquid is introduced to the fat cells in the area. This emulsifying agent breaks down the fat tissues further, which are already loosely attached to one another in the first place. Ultrasound frequencies are delivered to the fatty deposits by using a wand that is probed into the area. The ultrasound energy would break up the unwanted fat further, making the fat extraction easier and less painful.
This high definition body sculpting method provides several benefits to patients. For starters, the procedure is very precise. It is possible for smaller, targeted areas to be treated. Since the VASER Hi-Def method does not damage muscles, nerves, joints and other bodily tissues around the target area, the underlying structure of the body is highlighted after the contouring procedure. Common post-surgery manifestations like bruising and swelling are not expected side effects of the high definition body sculpting method. The saline solution applied to the target area prior to the fat removal shrinks the veins, reducing the risks mentioned above. The minimal surgical actions involved allow patients to experience less pain and discomfort while they are being operated on, as well as in the post-liposuction period. For the same reason, the recovery times of VASER Hi-Def patients are relatively short.
While fewer side effects might occur with this variety of high definition body sculpting, there is no way to completely eliminate the risks associated with any liposuction procedure. The formation of fat and blood clots are possible side effects, although the tendency for these to occur are quite low. However, it is very dangerous when these clots do form. The clumps may travel to the lungs and subsequently cause major complications. The ultrasound wand is safer than the traditional liposuction wand, but it still carries the risk of damaging other parts of the body, especially if the operator is inexperienced in the VASER Hi-Definition body sculpting treatment.
This type of high definition body sculpting procedure is ideal for people who do not have a lot of excess fat in the first place. The primary goal of this liposuction method is to bring out muscle tones and bone structures that may be hidden under a layer of fat.
