Do you have small pockets of unwanted fat that are resistant to diet and exercise? Are you not overweight but wish you had more muscle definition with just a little less bulge in certain areas? If so, lipo HD may be for you.
What Is Lipo HD?
Lipo HD (also known as liposuction HD, HD lipo, or high definition liposuction) is a plastic surgery procedure that aims to sculpt the body with enhanced precision and definition. In other words, this is a liposuction procedure that can enhance the physique you already have — effectively sculpting your muscles for improved definition and visibility.
How is Lipo HD Different From a Traditional Liposuction Procedure?
While traditional liposuction focuses primarily on excess fat removal, HD liposuction is one of the liposuction procedures that takes body contouring to the next level. This is done by emphasizing muscle definition and creating more attractive contours.
During hi def lipo, your surgeon uses a combination of specialized techniques, including VASER liposuction with ultrasound technology, to sculpt the underlying muscles and create a more contoured appearance. In some cases, fat grafting may be used to emphasize certain muscle groups.
By selectively targeting localized fat deposits and enhancing muscle definition, VASER high definition liposuction can produce results that are more refined and athletic-looking when compared with traditional liposuction.
Can I Lose Weight With an HD Lipo Procedure?
Plastic surgeons often emphasize that body contouring procedures are not the same as weight loss procedures. High definition body contouring with liposuction creates more definition and can reduce some excess fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, and upper arms. However, HD liposuction is not intended as a weight loss solution.
It is critical for patients to have realistic expectations when it comes to any and all cosmetic procedures. You must understand that maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise, is essential for long-term results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for HD Liposuction?
Ideal candidates for VASER HD lipo are individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight but have stubborn pockets of fat that are detracting from their muscle definition and overall physique. They may qualify for other body contouring procedures as well, but often prefer the idea of more defined muscles with HD Vaser lipo. Good candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good physical health.
When Will I See My High Definition Lipo Results?
As swelling begins to subside, many patients will see initial results from this body contouring procedure within a few weeks of surgery. Take time to view high definition liposuction before and after photos for examples of how patients look after surgery and while in recovery.
However, it’s important to note that final results may take several months to fully develop as the body adjusts to its new contours. Patients should be patient during the Vaser liposuction recovery process and follow their surgeon’s post-operative instructions closely. It may take up to six months or even a year for all swelling to go away.
How Long Do Lipo HD Results Last?
The results of HD liposuction can be long-lasting for patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle. While fat cells removed during the procedure are permanently done after surgery, it’s important to note that remaining fat cells can still expand if weight gain occurs.
We encourage all of our patients to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and avoid significant weight fluctuations. This will allow you to enjoy reduced body fat, avoid loose skin, and keep those high definition muscle contours for many years to come.
FAQ: Liposuction HD
How much is liposuction HD?
The cost of liposuction HD varies depending on your goals for surgery, where in the country you undergo surgery, and who your surgeon is. All surgeons charge different amounts depending on various factors. Schedule a consultation to find out more about HD lipo cost.
Is lipo HD painful?
While discomfort is to be expected after most any surgical procedure, high definition liposuction is typically well-tolerated by patients.
The use of local anesthesia and sedation helps minimize discomfort during the procedure. After the procedure, a limited amount of pain is to be expected. Your surgeon will provide you with pain medication to manage this discomfort.
What is HD lipo 360?
HD lipo 360 is high definition liposuction performed all the way around the abdomen. HD lipo 360 is actually two different liposuction concepts worked into one plastic surgery procedure.
First, there’s HD lipo, also known as high definition liposuction. This is a liposuction procedure that helps to define the muscles you already have by sculpting and enhancing them with precision liposuction.
Next, there’s liposuction 360. This is an approach to liposuction that works to remove stubborn fat from all the way around (360 degrees around) the abdomen.
When you combine these two concepts, you get HD lipo 360.
