What is the difference between VASER Hi Def and 4D?

Both VASER HI Def and 4D are terms relevant to body sculpting. This unique cosmetic surgical procedure can create artificial musculature such as ripped abs and many other areas. Liposuction probes are used to cut through the superficial fat of the area to be treated. VASER equipment, which offers ultrasound-assisted cannulae, is chosen by plastic surgeons as one of the most important equipment to do this. One can get a body sculpting even without VASER High Definition Ultrasound Lipo as the result is up to the surgeon in the end.

What is body sculpting and how is it different from body contouring?

The idea of ​​body sculpting is to create grooves in the fat that look like defined musculature, as if one had acquired them at the gym. It is similar, but not simultaneous to body contouring. That means body contouring is all about removing fat under the skin to flatten out small bags or bulges. The focus of body sculpting is to create nuances in the skin. For which he might remove a small amount of the patient’s subcutaneous fat, or even inject some into the back to create just the right definition. Body sculpting may or may not include a large amount of fat removal for body contouring. It is a common behavior in the search for patients to opt for body contouring in conjunction with VASER Hi Def, to maximize cost.

Treatable areas for body sculpting

The abdomen is the most commonly treated area for body sculpting, with ripped abs being the most iconic muscle definition, but it’s not the only treatable area. Men who have Gynecomastia or man boobs, referred to the protrusion of the chest in men, appearing as breasts, seek this procedure also to obtain a flat chest and a defined torso. Aside from that, 4D high definition can be used for contouring, flanks, arms, and thighs.

The procedure

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia until and unless large volume fat loss is involved. VASER hi Def or 4D probes are inserted into the patient’s skin through small incisions. The surgeon gently oscillates the cannula within the skin to remove the small location of subcutaneous fat and, once liquefied, it is drained out of the body by suction.

Once the fat comes out, it is stored in a jar, which is a liquid consisting of fat, blood and other body fluids, the local anesthetic, and small pieces of tissue. The fat is purified by removing the anesthetic, tissues, etc. of it, and the purified fat is injected into the treatable areas, to create the furrows in the skin, which appear immediately.

Once the surgeon finishes sculpting the body, the incision wounds are cleaned and dressed, the surgeon may leave them open for any residual fluid to drain. And a compression garment is worn. The patient can leave the surgery as soon as he feels up, which is usually between 1 and 2 hours after the surgery.

The results

Patients can see the skin folds as their anticipated muscle definition as soon as the surgery is over, or even during the procedure as they are awake under local anesthesia. However, immediately after surgery, the treated area swells. It may take up to 4-5 months for the swelling to completely subside so that real results can be seen.
