Am I the right candidate for Hi Def Vaser Lipo?

Question

I'm a healthy man with a BMI of 25 and body fat of 25%. My waist is 34". I was heavier a year ago and was told I couldn't have hi def lipo. But it's the appearance of a 6pack that I want, not just slimming down. As per my new measurements above, am I a good candidate for Hi Def Lipo now?

Thanks for the question. Based on your words, you might be a good candidate for vaser liposuction. I recommend you to contact a Board Certified Surgeon for consultation. I wish you all the best.

A candidate for Vaser Liposuction is a person in good health who seeks a minimally invasive way to remove stubborn fat with less downtime than traditional #liposuction.  Vaser is ideal for those seeking improved definition of muscles and contouring.  Those who seek increased sculpting of are ideal vaser lipo candidates.
There are three types of #Vaser Lipo. Each benefit patients differently depending on their needs. Vaser Lipo  is capable of removing fat from resilent areas providing a smoother and slimmer results. It is common for reducing love handles, extra skin along the bra line or flanks on many female patients. Additionally, it is often applied to the reduction of male breast surgeries, called gynecomastia surgery. Meanwhile, Vaser Hi-Def  targets both deep and superficial fat cells which is found around muscle tissue. This is suggested to tone and defined rather than reduce fat when not necessary. Finally, Vaser #4D, although similar to Vaser Hi-Def works well with the existing muscle tissue.. However, it results in more natural appearing definition to those areas, being treated. Vaser 4D is often applied to treating abdominal region to improve definition.  Additionally, it's not uncommon for Vaser Liposuction to combined with fat transfer which removes and transfers fat to another area of the body. 
It's best to begin consulting with a board certified plastic surgery to learn if you are a candidate for liposuction. If so, you will then learn more about which #technique will work best for you and your goals. It is important you select a plastic surgeon who is #board-certified and has a great deal of experience with #vaser #liposuction. Aside from checking board-certification, it is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation. Information that you read online may not apply to your personal situation.

Hi there and thanks for the great question.
With the measurements you provided above, you are definitely in the healthy BMI range for liposuction, and I believe you would be able to achieve some great results with the right surgeon. That said, be sure to do sufficient research on your surgeon -- look at their before/after photos of patients similar to you, not just anybody. The technique should change when performing liposuction on men. Too often, I have seen men come into my office with hourglass waists by surgeons who did not realize that men should be shaped differently. 
Depending on how heavy you used to be, you may have some loose skin afterward that can be addressed to a certain extent by liposuction. That is, liposuction causes a small amount of skin contraction, depending on how aggressive the surgeon is, but consider that some skin may have to be excised. 
Best of luck to you!
