What Is VASER®Lipo Hi Def™?
Liposuction is the traditional cosmetic procedure that is used to remove smaller deposits of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. The procedure, however, results in extended recovery periods due to the trauma to the tissues. Laser technology has brought new techniques to cosmetic surgery, such as VASER®Lipo Hi Def™. Dr. Perlman uses VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ to contour your natural curves by removing fatty deposits that create small bulges. VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ can be used on the same areas of your body as traditional liposuction, such as your buttocks, thighs, and abdomen, as well as other areas that are typically not treated with liposuction, such as your arms, chest, and neck.
Am I a Good Candidate for a VASER®Lipo Hi Def™?
Like traditional liposuction, VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ is not a weight loss solution. To be considered for VASER®Lipo Hi Def™, you should be at a healthy weight for your size and age. Additionally, you should be a non-smoker who maintains a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise. Dr. Perlman also considers the following factors when deciding if VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ is right for you:
- You have pockets of fat that hide your natural curves.
- You want a minimally invasive procedure, or your cosmetic concerns do not require more extensive procedures, such as a tummy tuck.
- You want a short recovery period.
What Is the Process for VASER®Lipo Hi Def™?
VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ works by targeting pockets of fat. The procedure is much more precise than traditional liposuction. The fat is broken down and suctioned out using a special device. Dr. Perlman may administer a local or topical anesthetic to help you remain comfortable during the procedure. A small incision is made, and a special tube is inserted into the incision. A solution known as “tumescent fluid” is injected into the fat. Ultrasonic energy is then used to vibrate the fat, which causes it to break down and release into the tumescent fluid. A suction tube is then used to remove the fluid and the suspended fat. The incision is closed, and a small bandage is placed over the incision site.
What Does Recovery After VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ Entail?
Your recovery from VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ is much shorter and easier than with traditional liposuction. Dr. Perlman provides you with specific instructions for your recovery, including any limitations to your normal activities. The goal of your recovery plan is to allow your body to heal as well as to promote the contraction of your skin to give you smooth, beautiful curves.
How Much Does VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ Cost?
Dr. Perlman customizes his individual VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ treatment plans to meet each patient’s goals. During your appointment, Dr. Perlman will discuss your expectations and make recommendations about how to best meet your goals. Your treatment plan will describe the extent of your VASER®Lipo Hi Def™ procedure, as well as the associated costs.
