We want to ensure your comfort during your procedure, and this will be done by administering local anesthetic to the treatment area. Most VASER lipo procedures can be performed while the patient is awake (but with oral sedation), so general anesthesia typically isn’t necessary. This is known as awake liposuction.
What Is VASER High Def Lipo?
VASER HD liposuction or Vaser Liposuction is an advanced liposuction technique that utilizes VASER technology and focuses on sculpting the body and enhancing muscle definition. To fully understand this procedure, it can help to break it apart into its two main elements: VASER and HD:
VASER stands for vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance. This is a special technology that can be used during most any liposuction procedure. In other words, it is a specific machine (and the technique that goes along with using the machine). What makes this technique unique is that it uses ultrasound energy to liquify the fat before it is suctioned out.
HD stands for high definition. When speaking of HD as it pertains to liposuction, we’re talking about the way in which the liposuction is performed (the technique) and how this translates to your results. With high definition lipo, the goal is typically to “sculpt” the muscles.

How VASER High Definition Liposculpture Works
Any type of VASER-assisted liposuction is going to be performed with ultrasound energy — an essential element of this type of lipo.
In addition to ultrasound energy as the driving force behind the suctioning of fat, a “high definition” technique will be used. This essentially means that your surgeon will be focusing on muscle definition when removing fat. They may leave slightly more fat around individual muscles, for example, and the surrounding areas will be “sculpted” down slightly. This can enhance a patient’s athletic appearance.
Here are the steps you can expect from your high definition VASER lipo experience:
Anesthetic
Incisions
Next, incisions will be made in the treatment area. Dr. Aghayan will have already decided on the placement of these incisions prior to your procedure. Rest assured that each “punch-hole incision” will be extremely small and located as discreetly as possible.
VASER Fat Removal
Once incisions have been made, Dr. Aghayan will insert his cannula into the incisions to suction out the fat. Remember that VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to emulsify or liquify the fat so that it can be more easily suctioned out. The benefits of this technique are many. For one, this helps avoid damage to local connective tissue and muscle. It also facilitates a faster recovery time, and less discomfort during recovery.
Incision Closure
Vaser Liposuction 360
Vaser liposuction 360, also known as 360-degree liposuction, is a type of liposuction that removes fat from multiple areas of the body in a comprehensive manner. The procedure is performed using Vaser technology, which utilizes ultrasound waves to break up and remove fat cells.
During the procedure, a small incision is made in the targeted area, and a small cannula is inserted. The Vaser technology is then used to liquefy the fat cells, making them easier to remove. The cannula is then used to suction out the liquefied fat cells, contouring the treated area.
360-degree liposuction typically targets the abdomen, flanks, back, and waist, as these areas often have excess fat that can be difficult to remove through diet and exercise alone. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment area and the patient’s preferences.
Vaser Liposuction Recovery
The recovery process after Vaser liposuction typically takes several weeks, and it’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery.
Here are some general tips for a successful Vaser liposuction recovery:
- Follow your surgeon’s instructions: Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for yourself after the procedure. Make sure you follow them closely to minimize the risk of complications and ensure a smooth recovery.
- Wear compression garments: You’ll need to wear a compression garment for several weeks after the procedure to help reduce swelling and support the healing process. Make sure you wear the garment as directed by your surgeon.
- Take it easy: Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least a few weeks after the procedure. You may need to take time off work, depending on the extent of the procedure and your job requirements.
- Manage pain and discomfort: You may experience some pain and discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with pain medication prescribed by your surgeon.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and promote healing.
- Monitor your incision sites: Keep an eye on the incision sites for any signs of infection or other complications. Contact your surgeon if you notice any redness, swelling, or discharge.
- Follow a healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet will help support your body’s healing process and reduce inflammation. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains.
It’s important to remember that the recovery process after Vaser liposuction can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and other factors.
VASER High Def Lipo Cost
Your VASER high def lipo cost is going to depend on several factors. In this way, it’s not a matter of simple math to configure your ultimate cost without having details about your surgery. Instead, you’ll want to book a consultation appointment with Dr. Aghayan to get a more accurate picture of the cost of your procedure.
For most patients, the biggest factor regarding 4d VASER hi def liposuction cost is going to be how much liposuction you want to have done — in other words, how much fat you want removed and from where. If only a small amount of excess fat on your abdomen is bothering you, for instance, your bottom line cost will likely be far less than for someone who desires lipo on their abs, flanks, upper arms, and thighs.
Other factors that will influence the cost of your VASER HD lipo procedure include the location of your procedure (hospital, office operating room, surgical facility), who your surgeon is and what their surgeon’s fee is, what type of anesthesia you choose, and whether you would like to undergo additional procedures such as a fat transfer, tummy tuck, etc.
