This cosmetic surgery technique differs from liposuction in that small amounts of fat are left in specific areas to amplify the muscle volume and increase the muscle relief.
The procedure selectively removes a small amount of fat around the patient’s muscle contours or sculpts the abdomen to create a more athletic contour.
Vaser liposuction technology (ultrasound liposuction) for high definition liposuction procedures is being used.
As the superficial fat layer and deep fat layer are reduced in certain areas, the underlying abdominal muscles become visible much easier. Mostly Ultrasound energy is applied during the surgery.
It is a surgical technique designed for the patients who do sports and whose abdominal muscles are accentuated, but covered with regional fat deposition, who already have a healthy diet, regular exercise program and developed muscles.
This cosmetic tummy tuck and liposculpture technique removes excess fat from the abdominal area to improve abdominal muscle definition that is difficult to achieve through diet and exercise alone.
High definition liposuction is not suitable for patients with significant accumulations of abdominal fat, those seeking to significantly reduce the size of their belly, and those seeking significant weight reductions because the amount of fat removed is relatively small.
In these cases, we will recommend liposuction of the abdomen and or pectoral muscles.
It is not a weight loss procedure !
Healthy people with a BMI under 30 and good skin elasticity will have the best results. Young, nonsmoking patients tend to have the best elasticity. Skin elasticity is determined by the amount of elastin in your skin. Elastin is a protein that allows the skin to tighten after being stretched. We start losing elastin after age 40, and it’s completely gone by age 45. Those with good skin elasticity will see skin tightening, once the fat is removed. If your skin has loosened with age or if you’ve lost a lot of weight, you can still expect high-definition results, but you’ll need a simultaneous skin-tightening procedure.
Two cosmetic surgery consultations to analyze your figure and define the surgical strategy adapted to your case.
A consultation with the anesthesiologist and a pre-operative blood test are part of the procedure before the abdominal etching.
Before the procedure and the operation, the surgeon makes detailed markings of the abdominal and pectoral muscles.
Performed under general anesthesia in the operating room. It normally takes about 1-2 hours depending on the number of regions. Multiple holes of 0.5 cm are made in the sites where the marks will not be visible and that are close to the areas to be operated. The solutions specially prepared for liposuction are first injected. This aim is to control pain and bleeding. Ultrasound energy is applied through the same incisions. Fat cells are broken down, leading to an easy fat aspiration. These techniques are easier and effective. Appropriate cannulas are placed, and fats are removed from the area with back and forth motions which are perpendicular to each other. Sometimes drains can be used. We can apply more than one area on the body. Compression garment is put on the operated areas.
Feeding is initiated early. The patient should walk after the feeding. The patient can be discharged on the same day. The patient can have a shower after two days. The special compression garment should be worn for 4-6 weeks. The patient can return to work within five to seven days. Heavy activities are allowed after 1 month. A special diet is recommended after surgery.
After surgery, there will be some swelling and bruising of the abdomen.
Final results will become visible within six months after the procedure after the body has completely eliminated the swelling.
Since results may vary depending on individual considerations, you should have realistic expectations. People who are naturally lean and on a low-fat diet have an advantage over others in terms of results.
The results of the procedure appear quickly if the patient has low body fat and high muscle mass.
The longevity of the surgical results depends on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper nutrition and sufficient physical activity.
This cosmetic tummy tuck and liposculpture technique removes excess fat from the abdominal area to improve abdominal muscle definition that is difficult to achieve through diet and exercise alone. Thus, those in need are achieving final results according to their liking. Self-esteem is repaired and satisfaction rate is high.
During standard liposuction, the surgeon just removes the excess fat from select parts of the body. In HD lipo, the fat also gets removed, but it’s strategically done in a way that lets the muscles underneath show through with more definition. Traditional lipo also doesn’t involve fat re-injection as HD procedures can.
With an HD treatment, you’re getting rid of the deepest layers of fat, as well as superficial and subdermal layers. This removes the fat that lies on top of the muscles, so they become more visible. HD lipo doesn’t just take away fat – it sculpts the body to its best possible shape.
Is HD Lipo permanent?As long as you maintain your healthy weight, the results of HD lipo will stay visible. Weight gain and loss, pregnancy, and childbirth will all have an effect on the lasting results. You’ll want to be sure to keep up with a healthy diet and active lifestyle for the best results once the procedure is over.
Does HD Lipo tighten your skin ?You may have heard about some skin-tightening benefits of high definition liposuction. It’s true – the ultrasound procedure helps with skin retraction after the appointment is finished.
