About VASER Hi Def for Legs, Knees, Calves, & Ankles

VASER Hi Def Liposuction enables doctors to remove stubborn fat deposits on a patients’ legs, as well as to sculpt the patient’s underlying anatomical structure. The results are smooth, shapely, more athletic-looking ankles, calves, knees, and thighs.

VASER, which stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, utilizes advanced ultrasound technology to carefully break down fat. The ultrasound wavelengths create vibrations that agitate the tumescent fluid air bubbles released by the VASER device. When these air bubbles expand and contract under the vibration, they help to gently break down the fat and make it easier to extract.

VASER technology is intelligent enough to differentiate between the fat in the adipose tissue and the surrounding blood vessels, connective tissues, and nerves. This enables careful, accurate suctioning of the fat deposits. Nerves and vessels remain safe and intact. The surgeon is then able to sculpt the patient’s legs to reveal and enhance the muscles that were previously concealed.

The procedure is a modern surgical technique that achieves high degrees precision body sculpting. While lower body exercises may need to be avoided for up to six weeks, patients tend to recover within a few days of their VASER Hi Def Liposuction. Patients can enjoy noticeably more shapely legs, with results that will continue to improve over three to six months.

Traditional Lipo:
Traditional liposuction methods use suction or extraction that subjects the patient’s body to trauma. The pulling or tearing associate can damage the tissue around the fat.

VASER uses cutting-edge ultrasound technology to remove fat, as well as a smaller cannula than most liposuction. This leaves the other adipose tissue unharmed.

Traditional Lipo:
Patients can experience bumps and rippling of the skin after a traditional liposuction procedure.

VASER Hi Def Lipo:
Skin retracts to a greater degree than before the procedure. As a result, the skin of the legs will be smoother than it was before the VASER Hi Def Lipo.

Traditional Lipo:
Risk of blood loss.

VASER Hi Def Lipo:
7.5 times less chance of blood loss than traditional liposuction. (Aesthetic Surgery Journal Study)

Traditional Lipo:
Average patient recovery time.

VASER Hi Def Lipo:
Faster than average patient recovery.

Traditional Lipo:
Patients encounter moderate to heavy bruising post-procedure.

VASER Hi Def Lipo:

Five Steps of VASER Hi Def Lipo for Legs

Step 1: Subdermal Fat Removal

Step 2: Deep Fat Compartment Removal

Step 3: Partial Fat Removal from the Superficial Fat Compartment and Superficial Fat Reshaping, and Muscle Definition enhancement between muscle groups

Step 4: (If needed) Intramuscular Fat Grafting — To enhance muscle size, projection, and shape.

Step 5: (If needed) Subdermal Fat Grafting — Enhances projection and tightness of the skin, which enhances yo uthfulness.

Patients may receive their procedure under general anesthetic, or local anesthetic; Dr. Millard will make the determination ahead of time with the patient, based on what will be appropriate for the extent of work being done. Each patient’s procedure will vary according to the contouring needs of their thighs, knees, calves, and ankles.

Depending on your unique fat pockets, your deep fat will first be removed. Depending on your determined goals, this is usually followed by strategically removing certain areas of your circumferential subdermal fat (360 around your leg, below the skin). Certain areas of subdermal fat are left in your legs to enhance muscle definition.

Primary Pockets of Deep Fat:

• Central Abdomen
• Flank Areas

Superficial fat surrounds the legs, thighs, calves, knees, and ankles.
Surgeons who do not work in the subdermal or superficial fat compartments are missing a large area of visible fat on the body.

Options

INTRAMUSCULAR FAT GRAFTING

Your obtained fat cells are sterilized and reinserted strategically into various muscle areas. This is a useful tool to enhance muscle projection, enhancement, and size.

SUBDERMAL FAT GRAFTING

A useful technique to fine tune shape over muscles, enhance tightness, and projection of shape of the skin over muscles.

Dr. Millard uses autologous fat grafting to enhance calves (gastrocnemius) and thigh muscles (lateral and medial quadriceps). This sculpting medium is also used in gluteal enhancements, breast enhancements and in many other muscles of the body.

After Your Treatment

Once Dr. Millard assesses the outcomes of a procedure and approves the patient for same-day release, they are free to return home. Patients are required to have a responsible caretaker, schedule a ride home after their procedure and are encouraged to take a few days off work to allow their legs to recover. While it is recommended that recipients of VASER Hi Def Lipo take short, frequent walks during their initial recovery period in order to maintain healthy blood flow, they should abstain from strenuous lower body exercise for at least six weeks.

At the end of treatment, the skin may flush pink, and will likely experience bruising and/or swelling. Patients will wear a compression garment to help reduce these symptoms. Non-blood thinning pain medications like Tylenol or Advil can alleviate any discomfort at the approval of Dr. Millard. Later into your healing experience, patients can apply ice packs to provide relief from discomfort. These effects tend to have subsided completely in less than six weeks.

Results

Patients will see improvements in the appearance of their legs over the days and weeks following their VASER Hi Def Lipo. As the swelling subsides, the legs will reach their final, more toned and slimmer shape. The end result will be athletic-looking legs the patient can feel confident showing off to the world.

Best results will be visible in two to three months.

Every patient heals differently; Dr. Millard will follow-up with patients to ensure they are experiencing their best outcomes. Recipients of VASER Hi Def Lipo for legs are additionally advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight after their treatment. While the procedure eliminates fat from the thighs, knees, ankles, and calves if patients’ body weight fluctuates too greatly the results of the VASER Hi Def Lipo could be altered.
