Both VASER HI Def and 4D are relevant terms for body sculpting. This unique cosmetic surgical procedure can create artificial musculature such as ripped abs and many other areas. Liposuction probes are used to furrow the superficial fat of the area to be treated. VASER equipment, which offers ultrasound-assisted cannulas, is chosen by plastic surgeons as one of the most important equipment to do this. One can get body sculpting even without VASER high definition ultrasound lipo as the result depends on 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 small bags or bumps. The focus of body sculpture is to create nuances in the skin. For which he could remove a small amount of subcutaneous fat from the patient, 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 common behavior in seeking 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 definition of musculature, but it is not the only area treatable. Men who have Gynecomastia or man boobs, referring to the protrusion of the chest in men, appearing as breasts, seek this procedure as well to obtain a flat chest and defined torso. Apart from that, the 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 is out, it is stored in a jar, which is a liquid consisting of fat, blood and other bodily 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 bandaged, the surgeon may leave them open to drain any residual fluid. And a compression garment is worn. The patient can come out of the surgery as soon as he feels up, which usually happens between 1 and 2 hours after the surgery.
The results
Patients can see the grooves in the skin, such as their anticipated muscle definition as soon as the surgery is finished, or even during the procedure, since they are awake under local anesthesia. However, immediately after surgery, the treated area swells. It can take up to 4-5 months for the swelling to completely subside so that real results can be seen.
