4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo)

WHAT IS 4D LIPOSUCTION (HI-DEFINITION LIPO)?

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) performed by Dr Ivan Puah involves ultrasound wave energy that is delivered internally to the targeted fat tissues via a probe. This probe emits sonic vibrations to melt the fat for ease of removal. Cannulas of varied sizes are used to reduce fat and further sculpt and contour the body.

This procedure is performed in an accredited Day Surgery, with the patient under twilight sedation (not GA). The anaesthetist will monitor the patient's vital stats throughout the process while Dr Ivan Puah carries out the procedure. Small incisions less than 4mm long are made, followed by infiltration of anaesthetic fluid to the targeted body region. Then ultrasound energy is applied to liquefy the fat, making it easier for the doctor to remove it via suction.

An athletic-looking and toned body is achievable through 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo), as it removes fat, sculpts muscle and tightens skin during the process.

HOW IS THE MUSCLE DEFINITION CREATED?

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) removes both the superficial and deep fat surrounding muscle groups to enhance the visibility of underlying toning and musculature.

During the procedure, the targeted body part will be marked out, and fat will be removed via sculpting to create a frame around the muscles to be enhanced.

Careful sculpting follows where a small amount of fat will be left to amplify the underlying muscle tone.

This procedure is suitable for both men and women. However, as the desired male and female physique significantly differs, Dr Ivan Puah will carefully analyse and assess the clinical conditions of each individual and plan his surgical approach accordingly.

In women, the commonly targeted areas include the serratus, obliques and rectus muscles in the abdominal area. The most desired physical trait for men is the washboard abs.

The most commonly treated area is the upper tummy to produce a four or six-pack appearance. Other areas include the sides of the abdomen for the “V” appearance, the sides of the chest (the pecs, lats and oblique muscles), the lower back and buttock (for improved definition), and calves (for enhanced definition).

How does 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) differ from traditional liposuction?

During 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) procedure, fat is removed from all three layers of fat. The procedure really begins where standard liposuction ends. The subcutaneous fat is divided into three layers. Removing fat from the deepest and thickest layer will reduce the most volume from the treated area. Fat is then etched from the superficial layer to create the six-pack or 11-line muscle definition.

What should I look for in a qualified Hi-definition liposuction doctor?

4D Lipo

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) requires more attention to detail; it is not simply fat removal. It is a more advanced form of liposuction that involves customised and meticulous body sculpting to create a more athletic look for the patient.

Doctors who perform 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) need to be skilful and experienced with an eye for artistry as they will not only be working in the deep layer of fat but also more on the superficial layer, where the muscle-sculpting truly takes place.

Choosing a doctor who is experienced and skilled in performing 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) is crucial as this is a more complex body sculpting technique.

Who is the ideal candidate for 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition) liposuction?

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) is designed for "customised contouring" rather than debulking; hence the ideal candidate is individual with good muscle tone without a lot of fat or loose skin.

For example, individuals very close to their goal weight; are somewhat toned but fail to achieve the abdominal muscle definition they desire. 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) is, therefore, suitable for these individuals who consistently work out 4 to 6 times per week but cannot achieve the "washboard" appearance (which generally can only be seen in those with very little body fat - about 3%).

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) creates a more desirable athletic look by removing deep and superficial fat that may obscure the underlying muscles' details.

RESULTS & RECOVERY

When will I see the results?

You should be able to see an immediate change in the treated area after your surgery. However, tissue swelling will set in in a couple of weeks to gradually subside and improve.

In general, results from 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) may take 6 to 12 months to reach its peak.

Recovery from 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo)

Downtime is minimal. Recovery is fast. Follow the doctor's instructions to ensure a smoother recovery. At Amaris B. Clinic, we also provide manual lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) to assist you with post-lipo recovery.

When and why do I need to wear a compression garment?

Compression is important after the procedure because it helps to reduce postoperative swelling, assist with skin retraction and prevent contour irregularities. Dr Ivan Puah recommends wearing a compression garment 24/7 for the first 8 weeks after surgery.

What type of activities to avoid during the recovery period?

Avoid water activities such as swimming or sauna until your stitches are removed (if any). The doctor will advise further on the appropriate time to restart your workout.

What should I avoid to eat post-surgery?

Ensure that your meals are light for the first 48 hours post-surgery and that you have plenty of rest.
