Vaser Hi-Def & Vaser Mid-Def

What are VASER Hi-Def and Mid-Def?

Vaser Hi Def / Vaser Mid Def is a technique not a tool. The VASER device is essential to achieve Hi Def and Mid Def results. It involves using multiple techniques for sculpting around the muscles. This type of procedure is much more meticulous and requires skill, expertise and specialised training. In summary, Vaser Hi Def / Mid Def is completely different to other types of liposuction.

Whats the difference?

In experienced hands VASER Hi-Def can be used to sculpt around the musculature giving an athletic look. It’s popular with anyone who wants defined abs (six-pack) and the appearance of gym-toned pectorals.

VASER Mid-Def is the best option for anyone wanting a softer but still toned and sporty appearance.

There’s no need for a general anaesthetic or hospital stay. However, patients can opt for i.v. conscious sedation for extra pain relief and sedation.

The results from VASER Hi and Mid-Def are impressive. See our vaser before and after photographs.

VASER Hi-Def and Mid-Def are specialised liposuction techniques that offer a bespoke approach to body sculpting, designed to enhance and highlight the existing muscles of the patient’s body. Unlike traditional liposuction, which simply removes fat, these methods are more refined and strategic, targeting and sculpting around specific muscles to create a more toned or even athletic appearance.

These procedures are specifically tailored to each individual’s unique body shape and muscle structure. The aim is not to create an unnatural or excessively muscular look, but to enhance the patient’s existing muscularity, resulting in a natural-looking, athletic appearance. This is achieved by carefully sculpting around the muscles, rather than carving them out of fat or etching lines into the skin.

The procedures involve small incisions, which are strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. This minimises visible scarring, further contributing to the natural look of the results. The recovery time from these procedures is also relatively short, with most patients being able to return home the same day of the procedure.

Dr. Mike Comins, one of the UK’s leading VASER Lipo doctors, carries out these procedures at Hans Place Practice. Dr. Comins is not just an experienced practitioner; he is a pioneer in the field. He was the first doctor in the UK to be trained in VASER Hi-Def and has been a leading figure in the industry ever since. His expertise in this specific liposculpture technique dates back to 2008 when he introduced it to the UK.

Since then, Dr. Comins has performed over 1000 VASER Hi-Def procedures, refining and perfecting his techniques with each one. His exceptional skill and innovative approach were recognised in 2012 when he won an industry award for his work with VASER. Today, he is an accredited trainer for advanced VASER liposuction, sharing his knowledge and experience with other professionals in the field.

Really good experience. I had VASER Lipo on the chest, flanks and abdomen. Dr Mike listened to everything that I wanted and so far so good. I’m only 2 weeks post op so there’s still some swelling around the flanks and all over in general but it’s looking amazing in comparison to what it was....

‘Top Up’ Procedure

This was a ‘top up’ procedure following the original lipo on the abdomen and a knee (!) in September 2019. Really pleased with the results especially as Mike finally got a fatty lump out of my knee which has been there for many many years and on my 3rd attempt to try and remove it....

FAQ

The key points of Vaser Hi and Mid Def are:

It is performed using local anaesthesia ( with optional IV sedation) as a day case.
It is specifically tailored to your body enhancing your existing abdominal and torso muscles, resulting in a natural athletic appearance.
It doesn’t sculpt the muscles out of fat or etch the lines into the skin.
For Women; by highlighting the vertical lines of the rectus, the waist line, the V groin and the hips;
For Men; the pecs, six pack, the obliques (sides) and serratus muscles and the groin V.
It is a safe, exacting and reliable technique.
The use of VASER assisting the fat extraction, helps enable more precise contouring, and also diminishing the swelling and bruises in the postoperative period.
Small and hidden incisions.
For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity we recommend combining vaser with Renuvion.

What is the difference between Vaser Hi Def and Vaser 4D?

Dr Mike Comins explains ‘ This is a good question and one I am often asked’: Some doctors recommend injections of fat into the abdominal muscles to bulk them up. I explored this some years ago and in my experience, patients found it very painful both during and after the treatment. I perform all my treatments at Hans place Practice using just local anaesthetic (+/- conscious sedation). I therefore recommend that patients wanting intra muscular fat injections to see a consultant surgeon with hospital admitting rights who can offer the treatment with general anaesthetic, proper post op recovery facilities and overnight hospital stay if required. I can only be guided by my results and patient feedback and even though my operating technique and aftercare advice has evolved and moved on since my initial Hi Def training, for now, I still prefer to call my vaser technique, Hi Def.

So what is best Vaser 4D or Hi Def?

I can only recommend that patients do their research, attend a few consultations with doctors offering Vaser 4D and Hi Def, look at their before and after portfolios, patient feedback surveys and testimonials etc, ask about side effects and complications and then decide for themselves.

Vaser lipo and Vaser Mid Def are the same cost and are priced per body area i.e upper abdomen, lower abdomen, flanks (love handles),upper back( bra strap fat pads) male chest (man boobs), buttocks, inner thighs. front of thighs, outer thighs (saddle bags), chin and jowls (double chin), neck, armpits (axilla), arms (bingo wings), knees, calves and ankles. All prices are discussed during your consultation with Dr Comins.
