VASER HI-DEF LIPOSUCTION IN SINGAPORE

Standard liposuction or VASER Lipo primarily will remove fat from the deep layer of fat. VASER Hi-def Lipo requires more attention to detail; it is not simply fat removal. In fact, VASER Hi-Def Lipo begins where standard liposuction leaves off. It is a more advanced form of liposuction that precisely removes fat from specific areas of the body such as abdomen, flanks, and male chests, while leaving a thin layer of fat over underlying muscles to create a more athletic look.
‍
VASER Hi-Def Lipo doctors need to be skillful 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.

Which areas can VASER® Hi-Def Lipo treat & what does it do?

VASER® Hi-Def Lipo can be performed on multiple areas of the body. For women, it can help them achieve that hourglass figure while for men, the dream for sculpted six-pack abs and a more defined and muscular chest can be realised.

THE VASER Hi-def Lipo DIFFERENCE

During a VASER Hi-def 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. Most liposuction doctors only remove this fat layer.
‍
For VASER Hi-def Lipo, fat is etched from the superficial layer to create the six-pack or 11-line muscle definition. The fat removed from the intermediate later will allow for muscle appearance enhancement while reducing fat volume in the treated area.

CLINICAL RESEARCH

VASER® assisted high-definition liposculpture is an effective body contouring procedure that is able to define the 3-dimensional surface musculature for a wide range of patients. A study involving the treatment of 306 patients were done where 257 or 84 percent were satisfied with the results.

WHO DEVELOPED VASER® HI-DEF™ LIPO?

VASER® Hi-Def™ Lipo was developed by Colombian plastic surgeon, Dr. Alfredo Hoyos. He is also an author who has written several scientific articles and books that discuss innovations and techniques on body contouring.

The objective of this procedure is to create a sculpted and athletic appearance by improving the contours of the subcutaneous fat and the definition of the underlying muscles.

AM I CHEATING BY GETTING A MUSCULAR LOOK WITH SURGERY?

VASER® Hi-Def™ Lipo is an option when it comes to attaining a better-sculpted physique. The procedure enhances one’s own muscle shape by selective removal of fat in the targeted areas. It should not be termed as “cheating” because of effort, in the form of eating right and leading a healthy lifestyle, is still necessary to maintain the results.

ARE THERE IMPLANTS WITH VASER® HI-DEF LIPO?

No. The procedure involves the removal of fat, and as such, no implants are required.

WHAT ARE THE AREAS TREATED WITH VASER® HI-DEF LIPO?

The most commonly treated area is the upper stomach to produce a 4 or 6 pack appearance. It is also used to separate the chest from the stomach for better definition.

Other areas include:
• Sides of the stomach for the “V” appearance
• Sides of the chest – the pecs
• Lats and oblique muscles
• Lower back and buttock (for improved definition)
• The shaping of the arms
• Calf (for enhanced definition)

VASER® Hi-Def™ Lipo is suitable for both men and women.

How does VASER® Hi-Def Lipo work?

VASER® Hi-Def Lipo targets superficial layers of fat that resides directly over your muscles. It removes both the superficial and deep fat that surrounds muscle groups to enhance the visibility of underlying toning and musculature.

HOW IS THE MUSCLE APPEARANCE CREATED?

VASER® Hi-Def™ Lipo targets superficial layers of fat that reside directly over your muscles. It removes both the superficial and deep fat that surrounds muscle groups to enhance the visibility of underlying toning and musculature. During the procedure, the targeted areas will be marked out, and fat will be removed via a sculpting process to create a frame around the muscles that are to be enhanced.

Careful sculpting follows where a small amount of fat will be left to amplify the underlying muscle tone. In women, the commonly targeted areas include the serratus, obliques and rectus muscles in the abdominal area. The gluteus and paraspinal muscles are also targeted. For men, the most desired physical trait has to be the washboard abs. To achieve this, the same abdominal muscles are targeted including the pectoralis muscles to create the desired appearance.

Is VASER Hi-def Lipo Lipo an option for both men and women?

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

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THE 6-PACK IN MEN & 11-LINE IN WOMEN?

Treated areas are marked out and small incisions are made, after which a specially prepared numbing solution is infiltrated into the areas through the incisions. Subsequently a VASER probe that resonates at an ultrasound frequency is inserted into the fatty layers so “shake” the fat cells loose from the surrounding tissues.

This allows Dr Ivan Puah to remove the fat tissues and to sculpt a new and more defined appearance, revealing underlying muscles group e.g. rectus abdominis muscles for a defined “6-pack” look. In addition to creating muscle definition on the abdomen, VASER Hi-Def Lipo can also create a more chiseled look to the flank (waist) or commonly known as “love handles” and chest.

What happens during the procedure?

An insertion is made during the procedure and a device emitting ultrasonic waves is inserted, gently breaking down only the fat cells. Through a gentle suction process, it is able to sculpt the muscular anatomy without causing any damage to surrounding tissues. This renders the underlying musculature more visible resulting in a more defined physique.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A VASER® HI-DEF LIPO PROCEDURE?

After the procedure, patients are advised to lay off any exercise routine for one month. Results in the form of muscle definition are noticeable after two weeks once post-operative oedema has markedly resolved.

Is VASER® Hi-Def Lipo for weight loss?

VASER® Hi-Def Lipo is not a weight loss solution and is therefore not recommended for those looking for a quick weight loss method.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR VASER Hi-Def Lipo?

VASER Hi-def Lipo is designed for “customised and precise sculpting” technique rather than debulking, hence the ideal candidate is one that has good muscle tone without a lot of fat or loose skin.

VASER Hi-Def Lipo candidates are very close to their goal weight and although they are somewhat muscular, the abs are as defined as desired. This procedure therefore is ideal for those who consistently work out 4 to 6 times per week but fail to achieve the “washboard” appearance (which generally can only be seen in those with very little body fat - about 3 percent).

VASER Hi-Def Lipo can create a more desired athletic look by removing deep and superficial fat that may be obscuring the details of the underlying muscles.

How soon will I see results?

You can expect some swelling on the treated areas, and it may take 3 to 6 months for the final results to set in. During the consultation, our doctor will discuss in details with you on expected results, before the procedure as well as throughout the aftercare appointments.

Will I see the VASER Hi-def Lipo Lipo results immediately?

You should be able to see immediate change in the treated area after your surgery. However the area will be swelling for the first month. The treated area will continue to heal for the next 4 to 6 months before optimal, dramatic result can be visible.

ARE THE RESULTS PERMANENT?

Patients will keep the effects of VASER Hi-def Lipo as long as they maintain a healthy, stable weight because adult fat cells do not regrow therefore areas where were treated should maintain their appearance with time. You will still see the result if your weight gain is between 2.5 kg to 4kg if you do put on weight but much more than that, the definition will be lost.

How much does VASER Hi-def Lipo Lipo cost?

Costs of the VASER Hi-def Lipo varies between different practices as this procedure requires special equipment, longer time than the standard liposuction because of the precise fat to be removed and involving other sculpting techniques. It is important to note that doctors who offer VASER Hi-Def Lipo must be VASER Certified and have completed advanced body sculpting training with VASER.

Why should I opt for VASER® Hi-Def Lipo?

In the hands of our medical director, Dr Ivan Puah, we are able to deliver desired results based on your clinical condition.

PREPARING FOR VASER HI-DEF LIPO

Preparing for your surgery and following doctor's instructions help to reduce complication risk and aids in smoother recovery process.
‍
Here are the few important things to adhere to before your surgery.
‍
• Certain medications and supplements that act as blood thinners such as ibuprofen, vitamin E and aspirin should not be taken 14 days before your surgery date. Continuing to consume them may cause excessive bleeding and bruising.
‍
• Stop smoking or using nicotine patches/gum at least one month before and after your surgery. Nicotine cause poor blood circulation and blood vessel restriction which can increase complication risk and delayed healing.
‍
• Drink lots of water, eat plenty of nutritious food and get lots of exercise! Prepare your body for the surgery so that it can heal itself well and recover faster.

WHAT DO I NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AFTER THE PROCEDURE?

After your VASER® Hi-Def™ Lipo procedure, do remember to take it easy for a while. Get at least 12 hours of rest and avoid any strenuous activities for another 2 to 3 weeks. Bruising and swelling are common and will take up to 3 weeks to ease.

DO I NEED TO WEAR A SPECIAL GARMENT?

A compression garment needs to be worn for 4 weeks. During the first 2 weeks, it needs to be worn both during daytime and night. The last 2 weeks, you can opt to wear it either in the day or night. A compression garment is essential in the healing process, and it also helps with the swelling, skin contraction and comfort.

HOW LONG DO I NEED TO WEAR COMPRESSION POST SURGERY?

Compression is important after the procedure because it helps to reduce and minimise postoperative swelling and bruising. Wearing compression garments will reduce post-op swelling, and prevent contour irregularities.
‍
Dr. Ivan Puah recommends wearing a compression garment 24 hours a day (ok to remove it to shower) for the first 4 to 8 weeks after surgery.

WHO OFFERS VASER HI-DEF LIPO IN SINGAPORE?

Dr. Ivan Puah was amongst the first few in Singapore to offer VASER Hi-Def Lipo back in 2008. He had undergone VASER Fundamental (VASER) and Advanced Body sculpting training (VASER Hi-Def) conducted by Dr. John Millard and Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, who pioneered the procedure. In order to perform VASER Lipo, doctors have to receive substantial surgical training especially in liposuction and have to be VASER certified.

With more than 15 years of liposuction experience under his belt, Dr Ivan Puah is accredited and licensed by Ministry Of Health Singapore to perform liposuction procedure and is also a VASER certified physician.

RECOVERY FROM HI-DEF LIPO

Recovery process is different for every patient. However, follow doctor's instructions from the doctor to the T to ensure smoother and faster recovery.
‍
Wear your compression garment 24/7 for the next two days after your surgery to avoid swelling and fluid build-up. Only remove it during shower. Pat yourself completely dry before putting the compression garment back on.
‍
Do not exercise, no matter how light, for the next 14 days. Avoid water activities such as swimming or sauna until your stitches are removed.
