Introduction: Advances in High Definition Liposuction
Several advances in high definition liposuction have been observed over the last decade and these include both unique tools and proprietary protocols.
Two technologies that include VASER liposuction and Renuvion J plasma have come together to allow for high definition liposuction to be the new GOLD STANDARD in body contouring. We have developed several advances in high definition liposuction that have been developed at our center as described below.
VASER Liposuction
The most important technology that has been introduced is the use of ultrasound energy, i.e. the VASER, to assist with fat removal. VASER has the unique ability to convert solid fat clusters into liquid single cells by emitting an ultrasound wave that creates air bubbles in the wetting solution. These air bubbles wedge themselves in between fat cells resulting in the release of fat cells from each other thereby converting from a solid state to a liquid state.
Renuvion J Plasma
Another more recent technology has been coined subdermal coagulation and refers to the ability of the combined energies of helium-activated plasma and radiofrequency energies to heat and tighten the skin. The unique feature of this machine called the Renuvion J plasma, is that it can tighten skin without the need for surgical excision lines and potential scars.
Advances in High Definition Liposuction Protocols
Recent advances in high definition liposuction have focused on honing in on the ideal female aesthetic lines. The Tilde curve has been trademarked to describe the aesthetic line ideal that describes the female torso outline.
The Tilde curve has arrived from the Tilde Sign, “~”, which best describes the female silhouette lines, especially around the waist. By appreciating the Tilde curve nuances, surgeons are now better able to reconstruct the ideal body contouring lines.
Buttock Assessment Tool
Furthermore, advances in high definition liposuction have focused on improving Brazilian buttock lift outcomes. The buttock assessment tool has been developed by SurgiSculpt to help patients communicate their desired buttock size and shape to their surgeon.
Since SurgiSculpt is well regarded for Brazilian buttock lift revisions, he has had the luxury to see and correct disgruntled BBL patients. The two most common reasons for botched BBL results are not correcting contour irregularities and the other is not achieving the buttocks size and shape desired by the patient. The buttock assessment tool allows patients to choose the exact shape and size they desire.
The Vertical Axillary Line
Recent advances in high definition liposuction have focused on avoiding complications associated with ultrasound-assisted liposuction. One of the concerns surrounding ultrasound energy liposuction is that heat is produced at the tip of the ultrasound probe and that this can potentially cause burns.
This is especially true when contouring the sides from both the front and back. As you overextend around the flanks, it is easy to have the tip of the ultrasound probe to hit the sides.
As such, SurgiSculpt surgeons developed the vertical axillary line which is intended to keep your surgeon safe so that he/she appreciates how far they have to reach from each side without worrying about not being able to get to it from the other side. Using the vertical axillary line allows your surgeon to safely sculpt your sides and avoid any potential tip burns.
Conclusion: Recent Advances in High Definition Liposuction
In summary, both unique tools and advanced protocols have been introduced to help improve high definition liposuction outcomes. These advances have included the VASER liposuction machine and the Renuvion J plasma. Furthermore, advances in protocols such as creating the female aesthetic line, the Brazilian buttock Assessment Tool, and the Vertical Axillary line have allowed SurgiSculpt surgeons to achieve exemplary outcomes.
