VASER Hi-Def® is an advanced form of liposuction that uses ultrasound energy to precisely sculpt around muscles, creating a defined, athletic appearance. Unlike traditional lipo that just removes fat, this method enhances muscle definition.
So what does it mean?
- VASER means Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance
- Uses ultrasound energy to emulsify fat while sparing nerves, vessels, and connective tissue
- Less traumatic than traditional liposuction
What ‘Hi-Def’ Means:
Sculpting is strategic and layered, meaning both deep and superficial fat is removed. Hi Def emphasizes muscle shadows and highlights for a more toned, natural look.
It’s for sculpting, giving you that ‘etched’ look!
Muscles targeted may include:
- Rectus abdominis (abs)
- Obliques
- Pectorals
- Deltoids
Who is a good candidate for Hi Def?
- Fit men and women with good muscle tone
- Men seeking sculpted abs, chest, or shoulders
- Women wanting a defined waist, arms, or flanks
How It Compares to Traditional Liposuction:
| Feature | Traditional Liposuction | VASER Hi-Def |
| Energy Source | Mechanical suction | Ultrasound emulsification |
| Fat Removal | Non-selective | Selective, muscle-focused |
| Aesthetic Result | Flat contour | Sculpted, athletic definition |
| Precision | Bulk reduction | 3D muscle sculpting |
| Recovery | More bruising, slower | Faster, less trauma |
What about anaesthetic and recovery?
- Performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia
- Downtime: ~5–10 days
- Recovery includes:
- Compression garments
- Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)
- Final results: visible in 3–6 months
Ask Dr Asher:
Is this suitable for removing stubborn fat?’?
Dr Asher Siddiqi, our resident expert, says “VASER Hi-Def is not just about removing fat, it’s about precision body sculpting.
The goal is to enhance natural muscle contours using ultrasound-assisted fat removal, resulting in a fit, athletic, and defined look with a quicker and smoother recovery than traditional lipo.”
