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

Question

I have heard different things from different Doctor's. The claim is that 4D Vaser offers a more natural look, where there's more movement. However, a Doctor I have seen in a consult, who performs both, told me that 4D is just clever marketing and has been created by Dr Hoyos as Hi Def is now used by many Doctor's and there is huge competition for different types of Vaser. What is the truth?

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.

You can get hidef results without Vaser, and you can get amazing results with Vaser.  What matters the most is the person performing the procedure.  I do many hidef cases a week and have over 5 devices and chose each depending on the person, their body, and the ultimate goals.  Do not pick the device pick the right surgeon.  Best, Dr. Emer.

As the co-author of VASER High Definition Liposculpture, with Dr. Hoyos I can tell you that the 4D techniques are an improvement on the original VASER HiDef procedure and not just clever marketing.  4D techniques include enhancement of muscle definition with fat grafting, enhancement of muscle shaping using a more sophisticated technique called "Dynamic Lighting"to catch more of the shape of the muscle in sculpting and a modification in the marketing and sculpting of the fat that captures the shape of the muscle better through its movement.
