Overview

Why Have 4D High Definition Liposuction?

If you can’t get the results you want from working out, 4D High Definition Liposuction goes well beyond traditional liposuction and can help you achieve the ultimate definition in your body.

4D High Definition Liposuction versus Traditional Liposuction

Traditional liposuction techniques extract the deep layer of fat beneath the skin. By only removing deep fat tissue, traditional methods can improve the shape and contour of the body but cannot create a defined body contour.

4D High Definition Liposuction is a specialized liposuction technique that creates a more defined body contour by sculpting the superficial layers of fat just beneath the skin and over the muscles. 4D High Definition Liposuction may also incorporate autologous fat transfer (AFT) to augment the musculature. 4D High Definition Liposuction is an advanced technique that requires a great deal of skill and precision, as well as expert knowledge of the body’s form and anatomy and the interaction of light and shadow.

For many men, six pack abs and a V-shaped torso are signs of physical fitness and are the hardest to achieve. For many women, a tiny waist, hourglass figure, and shapely backside are signs of enhanced femininity. Whatever your physique goals are, 4D High Definition Liposuction can help you lose the excess fat that is resistant to diet and exercise and bring out the ultimate in your body’s definition.

Two More Quick Questions

Candidates

Get Lean & Tough

4D High Definition Liposuction is best suited for men and women who are looking to enhance muscular definition and achieve a more muscular physique.

Good candidates for 4D High Definition Liposuction include men and women who:

Are in good overall health and not excessively overweight
Have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
Desire a more muscular and defined physique including the abdomen, waist, chest, hips, flanks, back, and buttocks

Patients who are overweight, have inelastic (loose) skin, or seek weight loss are not good candidates for 4D High Definition Liposuction.

Patients who wish to reduce unwanted fat but do not require or wish to have enhanced muscular definition may be better candidates for standard liposuction or CoolSculpting.

Procedure Steps

4D High Definition Liposuction is typically an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, twilight sleep, or local anesthesia.

The procedure begins with very detailed markings to highlight the underlying muscular form.

Once anesthesia is given, very small incisions are made inconspicuously around the targeted areas. Through these small incisions, the superficial and deep fat compartments beneath the skin and around the targeted muscles are sculpted using specialized liposuction techniques. Special liposuction cannulas are used to precisely remove fat, and fat injections are performed to augment and highlight selective muscles.

The end result is a leaner, more ripped physique.

It’s worth noting that 4D High Definition Liposuction requires additional skill, knowledge, precision, and time to perform compared to traditional liposuction.

The results are second to none.

Recovery

What to Expect After 4D High Definition Liposuction*

You will be able to go home shortly after surgery to continue your recovery. Your body will be bandaged or placed into a compression garment. In occasional cases, a tiny drainage tube may be placed beneath the skin for a few days to prevent fluid build-up.

After 4D High Definition Liposuction, you should expect some degree of soreness, swelling, bruising, and temporary altered sensations. Dr. Fan will prescribe pain medication to help keep you comfortable, and many patients find that they can switch to over the counter pain relievers after the first few days. You should also expect some fluid drainage from the incision sites for a few days. To control swelling and promote skin contraction, you may be given an elastic compression garment to wear over the treated areas for a few weeks.

Recovery time varies from person to person. Bruising typically lasts one to four weeks, while most swelling subsides in one to three months. A small amount of residual swelling may persist up to one year. Time off work is usually three to seven days. Return to exercise is about four weeks. Dr. Fan will provide you with detailed instructions about when it is safe to resume any activity.

Residual soreness, swelling, and altered sensations should gradually subside over the first 3-6 months. The small scars may initially be pink or purple and slightly raised, but they will fade and flatten out in the months that follow surgery, up to two years.

Results are generally seen within one month, but final results are not seen until about one year as the skin continues to retract after surgery.

Maintaining a healthy diet, good overall fitness, and weight control are important after surgery. Please keep in mind that substantial weight gain can alter and compromise your results.

Choosing A Surgeon

Choose Your Surgeon Wisely

The single most important choice you will make is choosing a great surgeon. You only have one body, and you should choose wisely. The most skilled surgeons are generally not the cheapest.

4D High Definition Liposuction is a highly specialized and advanced form of liposuction that requires a high degree of skill, knowledge, precision, and artistry. Surgeons that perform 4D HDL must have a comprehensive understanding of human muscular form and anatomy, a detailed understanding of how muscles contribute to the outward body topographic appearance, and expertise in the interaction of light and shadow.

Dr. Fan’s Expertise

Dr. Fan has performed thousands of body contouring procedures and is highly experienced with 4D High Definition Liposuction. He is very skiled with all techniques for High Definition Liposuction including VASER liposelection and autologous fat transfer.

Cost

How Much Does 4D High Definition Liposuction Cost?

4D HDL requires a significantly greater degree of time, effort, and skill compared to traditional liposuction. Accordingly, the price of 4D HDL is significantly greater than comparable traditional liposuction.

The cost of 4D HDL varies depending on a number of factors including the size and number of areas to be treated, the length of surgery, the choice of anesthesia and facility, geography, and the surgeon’s expertise. The cost of 4D HDL generally ranges from $5,000 to $50,000.

Will I experience any side effects?: Liposuction is a surgical procedure, and all surgical procedures inherently have an element of risk. Some complications that can be caused by liposuction include infection, bleeding, swelling and pain. The risks associated with the procedure are minimal when compared to other types of surgery. An experienced surgeon in a properly equipped operating room rarely sees serious complications set in.
What is the recovery time?: Recovery time varies by individual and by the amount of fat removed from the body. Most people are able to return to work within a few days and can fully resume their usual lifestyle in two to three weeks. You will be required to wear a compression garment for a few weeks after the procedure to help with healing.
How long will the results last?: The results that you see after the procedure are lasting. Once the fat cells are removed from your body, they are gone for good. However, it is important to be aware that weight gain or weight loss can alter the results as you have other fat cells left, which can increase and decrease in size.
