Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction

The Private Clinic was one of the UK’s first aesthetic centres to introduce VASER Hi-Def; a pioneering body contouring treatment to sculpt and define muscles for an athletic result.

Assisted High Definition LipoSculpture, or VASER Hi Def is an advanced body sculpting technique that creates an athletic, sculpted appearance. It works through the removal of both superficial and deep fat that surrounds muscle groups to enhance the visibility of underlying toning and musculature. 

The results of Vaser Hi-Def procedure are highly defined and sculpted body areas. The treatment is often chosen to create strong-looking pectorals, defined upper arms, demarcated abdominal flanks, an athletic six pack or a strong, defined upper and lower back.

We are proud to work with one of the UK’s most respected pioneers of the method, Vaser Liposuction Surgeons Dr Dennis Wolf who works from our London Harley Street clinic and Mr Michael Mouzakis, Plastic Surgeon and Vaser Lipo Total Definer Surgeon who consults from London Harley Street, Northampton and Birmingham but virtual consultations are available for patients in locations such as Leeds and Manchester too.

What to Expect

The Private Clinic has been treating patients for over 40 years with thousands of people placing their trust in us each year. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a personalised service. We have a team of friendly nurses and expert surgeons who understand the importance of this decision and will support you throughout your journey with us.

VASER Hi-Def Consultation

The first step of your vaser hi-def liposuction treatment journey is a consultation with one of our experienced vaser liposuction surgeons.

At your consultation, your surgeon will go through the vaser hi-def liposuction technique in detail and examine the areas that you are concerned about to assess your suitability for vaser hi-def liposuction surgery taking into consideration your body’s current composition and your desired aesthetic goals.

Your surgeon will then discuss:

  • Your medical history
  • Your expectations from vaser high definition lipo surgery
  • Risks and Complications of Vaser Hi-Def Liposuction surgery
  • Vaser Hi-Def Aftercare

The Vaser hi-def technique is not a substitute for weight loss, and ideal candidates are those who are of relatively normal weight with isolated pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise.

Following your consultation, you will be introduced to your dedicated patient coordinator who will be your point of contact should you wish to proceed with vaser hi-def liposuction surgery.

VASER Hi-Def Pre-Operative Advice

In the interests of patient safety, all our patients are assessed against our patient selection criteria. Following your consultation and review of your past medical history, the physician or preoperative nurse will choose any pre-operative tests considered to be appropriate, most of which are routine blood tests.

You will also be advised on any precautions you will need to take in the days or weeks leading up to your vaser hi-def liposuction procedure.

It is advised that you stop smoking 2 weeks before you are due to undergo your vaser hi-def liposuction procedure.

VASER Hi-Def Treatment

Local anaesthetic is administered to the chosen area(s) to numb the site and sedation will be administered to the patient to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. 

A small incision will be made into the area where the fat deposits are going to be removed.

A Vaser probe, which is around 3mm in diameter, is inserted to safely emit ultrasonic fat-specific wave, which breaks down the fat cells. Gentle suction is used to remove the fat from the areas surrounding the muscles to enhance the muscle definition.

In some cases, the extracted fat may then be used as part of a fat transfer process to further sculpt and shape the area.

Dressings will be applied to the incisions and a compression garment will be placed on the patient before returning to our post-operative rooms to come around from surgery.

Once the surgeon is happy with the patient’s recovery following their sedation, they will be free to leave and start their recovery process at home.

After Vaser Hi-Def Treatment

The Vaser Liposuction aftercare regime following all Vaser procedures including Vaser Hi-Def and Vaser Mid-Def is important and does require some commitment from you.

You will be provided with an aftercare pack including detailed postoperative instructions and medication required to aid your recovery.

You may experience some discomfort for a few days and occasionally bruising in the areas treated. Swelling is also to be expected within the first few weeks.

Compression garments will need to be worn at all times, aside from washing, for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, it is still advised that you wear the garments for a least 6 hours every day for another 3 weeks. You may also have a surgical drain inserted which is used to remove natural fluids from the incision sites. These will remain in place for up to 5 days before being removed by the surgeon or their nursing team in the clinic.

Depending on your health, the areas that were treated and the nature of your job role, you should be able to return to work within 3-5 days. We recommend waiting 2-3 weeks before returning to strenuous exercise.

We may advise you to undertake a course of MLD Massage to aid your Vaser hi-def recovery, though this will be discussed fully before and after treatment. We offer Body Ballancer® treatments in some of our clinics which we also recommend. This can help reduce swelling caused by inflammation, bring healthy oxygenated blood to the upper dermal layers of the skin and encourage overall scar tissue repair.

Follow-Up

A follow-up appointment with a clinic nurse will be made to check the incisions made during the procedure. They would not have required stitches but they will have dressing applied. This appointment usually takes place approximately 4-14 days following your liposuction procedure. You will then return to see your surgeon around 6 weeks following your procedure for them to assess the results of your Vaser hi-def liposuction treatment.

Results

Whilst many will see the results immediately after their procedure, due to the swelling most will not start to see their results until two to six weeks. As the swelling reduces the results will gradually become more visible, although it can take up to six months to appreciate the final results.

Your treated areas should retain their sculptured appearance for as long as you remain the same weight.

Meet our Surgeons

The Vaser Hi-Def technique requires extensive experience and well-practised skill in vaser treatments. What distinguishes this procedure is its ability to chisel out prominent muscles including the pecs, lats, and obliques.

There are very few UK clinics certified in Vaser Hi-Def, and our Medical Experts are highly trained and experienced in the procedure with proven results and countless recommendations.

Mr Michael Mouzakis is one of only ten definer surgeons qualified and working in the UK. Mr Mouzkakis undertook the Total Definer Masterclass with a world leader in body contouring surgery. Mr Mouzakis also undertook training for high def liposuction where he was able to enhance his skills from the plastic surgeon who created the Vaser High Definition Liposculpture technique.

Dr Dennis Wolf has performed thousands of minimally invasive vaser liposuction procedures and Vaser High Definition procedures with The Private Clinic. Dr Wolf is amongst the UK’s most experienced doctors in standard Vaser, Vaser Mid Definition and Vaser High Definition.
