Vaser Hi Def is the most modern liposuction method. It allows not only to remove fat, but also to shape the body so it looks healthy and „athletic”. This innovative surgery makes it possible to accent characteristic for men and women bodies grooves and depressions. It also enhances the look of natural muscles by leaving some fat on them so they appear bigger. From all of the body shaping methods, Vaser Hi Def gives the best results.

Who it is for?

Generally healthy patients seeking a fast, low-pain solution to losing stubborn fat deposits, who additionally want to gain an „athletic” look. Vaser Hi Def gives the best results in patients who are generally fit and not overweight. The surgeon initially qualifies the patient on the basis of the photos. Final qualification for the procedure is done in Poland, after all necessary blood tests are done, following personal consultation with both, an anaesthetist and the surgeon.

Surgery info

Your surgery will take place in a sterilized operating room of a private clinic. The procedure will be performed under general anaesthetics (Katowice clinic) or under intravenous anaesthetics (sedation with anaglesia; Warsaw Józefów clinic) by a fully qualified and experienced surgeon with and assistance of a certified anaesthetist and nurses. The procedure starts with filling the operated area with special tumescent saline solutions. Its task is to numb the area and make the blood vessels smaller, in order to reduce blood loss and bruising after the surgery. Moreover, it makes the process of breaking up the fat with the use of Vaser Hi Def ultrasound energy much easier. Next, a small probe is used to transmit the ultrasound energy, which liquefies fat without inflicting any damage to the surrounding tissues (including blood vessels, nerves etc.). The final step includes a gentle suction process, which helps to safely remove the fat from the area of the surgery. After surgery, the patient stays in a post-operative recovery room and is provided with medication (painkillers, antibiotics, antithrombotics) as well as a necessary compression garment.
