4D High Definition Liposuction

Like any procedure at 77 Plastic Surgery, your first step will be a consultation with Dr. Fan. Dr. Fan will discuss your aesthetic goals with you, review your medical history, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for 4D High Definition Liposuction. 

On the day of the procedure, you will be given anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, small incisions will be made in the targeted areas, allowing your surgeon to access the underlying fat deposits. Specialized liposuction techniques will be used to precisely sculpt and remove the fat. In some cases, fat injections may also be used to enhance and highlight certain muscles, further enhancing the overall appearance of your physique.

After the procedure, you will be provided with a compression garment or bandages to wear. This helps with skin contraction and reduces swelling. A drainage tube may also be inserted to prevent fluid build-up. Soreness, swelling, bruising, and altered sensations are common after the surgery, and your surgeon may prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort.

Recovery

The recovery time after 4D High Definition Liposuction varies, but you can typically expect to return to normal activities within 3-7 days. Bruising usually lasts 1-4 weeks, and swelling can subside within 1-3 months. It is important to follow your surgeon's instructions regarding wearing the compression garment and when to resume exercise and other activities.

Over time, the soreness, swelling, and altered sensations will improve, typically within 3-6 months. Small scars from the incisions will fade and flatten out over several months to up to two years.

It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight control, to ensure long-lasting results. Weight gain can compromise the results achieved through 4D High Definition Liposuction.

Am I a candidate for 4D High Definition Liposuction?

A good candidate for 4D High Definition Liposuction is someone who is in good overall health, has firm skin, and has desired muscle tone. This procedure is best suited for those who are looking to achieve a more defined physique by eliminating stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. 

Patients who are overweight, have loose skin, or want to lose weight are not suitable for 4D High Definition Liposuction. Those who want to remove excess fat but don't need or want enhanced muscle definition may be better suited for standard liposuction or CoolSculpting®.

4D High Definition Liposuction is best suited for individuals in good overall health with firm skin and desired muscle tone. It is ideal for those seeking definition in areas such as the abdomen, waist, chest, hips, flanks, back, and buttocks. Consulting with a qualified surgeon is recommended to determine if this procedure is suitable for your specific goals and needs.

4. Will I experience any side effects?

As with any surgery, there are some potential side effects. These may include soreness, swelling, bruising, and altered sensations in the treated areas. Pain medication can be prescribed to manage any discomfort. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to minimize any potential side effects and ensure a smooth recovery.

5. What is the recovery time for 4D High Definition Liposuction?

The recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. Bruising typically lasts from 1 to 4 weeks, while swelling can subside within 1 to 3 months. Some residual swelling may persist for up to one year. Most patients can return to work within 3 to 7 days and resume exercise after 4 weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on when you can resume your normal activities.

6. How long will the results of 4D High Definition Liposuction last?

The results of 4D High Definition Liposuction are generally long-lasting as the fat cells are permanently removed from the body. However, it is important to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regimen, and weight control after the surgery to preserve the results. Weight gain can still impact the remaining fat cells, causing them to increase in size. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy the benefits of the procedure for many years to come.
