The Procedure: How Is High-Definition Liposuction Performed?

HD liposuction uses specific surgical techniques designed to assist in body contouring by targeting fat deposits with the aim of enhancing definition.

Steps in the Procedure

Anaesthesia: The procedure is conducted under general or local anaesthesia with sedation, depending on the areas being treated.
Tumescent Solution: A specialised fluid is injected to reduce bleeding and make fat removal easier.
Precision Fat Removal:
- Small, specialised cannulas are inserted through tiny incisions.
- Fat is selectively removed with the aim of refining body contours while preserving underlying muscle structure
Fat Redistribution (Optional): In some cases, fat may be processed and reinjected with the goal of increasing volume in areas such as the chest or buttocks..
Final Touches: The surgeon aims to achieve balanced results by carefully addressing treated and adjacent areas.

The procedure is planned based on the patient’s individual anatomy and treatment objectives.

Types of High-Definition Liposuction

Different techniques and technologies can be employed for HD lipo based on the desired outcomes:

Laser-Assisted Liposuction

Involves using laser energy to liquefy fat, which is then suctioned out. This technique may also stimulate collagen production for desired skin tightening.

Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) – Microaire Liposuction

The procedure may involve the use of a mechanical device to assist in disrupting fat cells, which can aid in the fat removal process..

Vaser Liposuction

Ultrasound technology is used to assist in breaking down fat cells prior to removal, aiming to address specific areas of fat deposits..

Each method offers unique benefits, and the choice of technique depends on factors such as the patient’s goals, the areas to be treated, and the surgeon’s expertise.

Am I a Good Candidate for High-Definition Liposuction?

HD lipo is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their body definition, but it’s not suitable for everyone.

Good Candidates:

Healthy Individuals: Non-smokers without underlying health conditions that could impair healing.
Stable Weight: Patients near their ideal weight who have stubborn fat deposits.
Good Skin Elasticity: Firm skin that can adapt to the body’s new contours post-procedure.
Realistic Expectations: Individuals seeking subtle changes to their appearance rather than drastic transformation.

Who May Not Be Suitable:

Those with significant weight to lose.
Individuals with significant loose or sagging skin (more suited to surgery).
Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Patients with certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or cardiovascular issues.

A consultation with Dr Kohout will determine your suitability and set realistic expectations.
