High definition body sculpting

Candidates for High Definition Sculpting are typically individuals with an active lifestyle who maintain a regular exercise routine but struggle to lose fat in certain areas. They should have a lower body weight, a body mass index below 28, and adhere to a balanced diet. Both men and women can benefit from this procedure, although the approach may vary due to differing beauty standards.

Preparation for High Definition Sculpting involves quitting smoking four to six weeks prior to the procedure, discontinuing aspirin, herbal supplements, and certain medications that inhibit inflammation two weeks before the surgery. During the consultation, patients will undergo a medical examination, discuss their expectations, medical history, allergies, and current medications. The surgeon will also take pre-operative photographs for reference and may recommend additional assessments like body composition analysis and nutrition counseling.

The High Definition Sculpting procedure involves VASERlipo ultrasound liposuction performed under general anesthesia. A thin probe is inserted into the fatty tissue to inject a specialized local anesthetic and adrenaline solution, which helps "dilute" the fat tissue and allows the ultrasound to selectively target fat cells without harming surrounding tissue. Following this, an ultrasonic probe is used to emulsify fat, and a cannula is inserted to remove the emulsified fat. The purified fat cells are then prepared for injection into the desired body areas through small incisions, adding volume and contour.

Recovery duration varies based on the extent of treatment but typically involves around seven days of downtime. Post-operative garments and drains may be necessary to minimize swelling and aid skin adherence to the underlying muscle layer. Visible changes are immediate, with the first noticeable results appearing in three to four weeks, but the final outcome may take several months to a year. Strict adherence to the surgeon's instructions and active participation in recovery are essential for long-lasting results.

VASERlipo is a minimally invasive procedure approved by the FDA, which minimizes risks compared to traditional liposuction. Common post-operative effects include swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Scars from cannula insertion are typically in the form of lines. It's important to note that, over time, some of the applied adipose tissue may naturally dissolve, but a portion of it should endure to maintain the desired results. If necessary, additional procedures can be performed to maintain or enhance the outcome.
