Whats the difference between Vaser Hi Def & Vaser 4D ?

Posted by RaviJain Posted Date: Friday, 18 November 2011 21:08 PM

There is no denying that the VASER Hi-Def technique was one of the most influential body contouring procedures in the last decade. However, even earthshakers have their flaws. And as Dr. Hoyos worked more and more with Hi-Def, he realized the multiple flaws the procedure presented.

That is why he went back to the drawing board, re-imagined his creation, and has now released 4D Sculpt™.

 

The differences between 4D Sculpt™ and Hi-Def may be subtle, but when applied in the operating room, the nuances are distinctly profound. 4D Sculpt™ means the difference between clunky sculpture and natural human beauty.

 

Here is an in-depth explanation of the differences between VASER Hi-Def and Dr. Hoyos’ highly improved 4D Sculpt™.

 

1. VASER Hi-Def Ignores the Body in Motion.

 

Coined by Dr. Hoyos as the “Pinocchio problem,” VASER Hi-Def results often do not show the muscles in motion. It does not incorporate the natural progression of the body in motion.

 

FAQ’s: Gynecomastia treatment with VASER

Posted by RaviJain Posted Date: Monday, 14 November 2011 23:16 PM

Male Breast Reduction with Vaser Liposelection

Gynaecomastia is a medical term which describes oversized breasts in men. It is an extremely common condition, with some studies reporting it to be present in up to 60% of men. It is thought that the incidence is increasing due to changes in environmental conditions in our diet over the last few decades.

 

There are two forms of gynaecomastia.

 

True gynaecomastia

This is when a breast gland has developed in response to a hormonal sensitivity, usually around puberty. It is often associated with extra fatty tissue in the breast which further increases the size of the breast. True gynecomastia may be diagnosed clinically during your examination with your surgeon or via an ultrasound scan. It needs to be treated surgically with excision of the gland. Liposuction or VASER may be used in addition, to remove any excess fat. A half circle incision is necessary around the outline of your nipple and the gland is removed through this. The procedure can be carried out ‘twilight’ or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the planned surgery. It can usually be performed as a day case, with no overnight stay required.

5 Reasons To Get Rid Of Male Breasts

Posted by RaviJain Posted Date: Friday, 26 November 2010 14:23 PM

20741_264524259310_41536749310_3129987_4997673_nMale Breasts are much more common than you think! Concealed under clothing, most men manage to hide away the embarrassment they feel about their shape, but there are good reasons for getting rid of them.

Not all male breasts are due to being overweight. Most men suffering from an altered or enlarged chest have gynecomastia – the abnormal growth of mammary gland (breast) tissue. This is in fact very common. Most young boys suffer from gynecomastia during puberty but grow out of it, however some never return to normal or may develop it for the first time in later life.

There are a number of reasons you may want to think about getting rid of your male breasts.

1.It’s uncomfortable
If you are suffering from any of the types of gynecomastia then you might be finding you are in physical discomfort. The growth of glands can be painful to the touch or feel generally sensitive. Being in this kind of discomfort can put you off being touched or make you wary of people touching you. If you have a partner this can be especially difficult as you don’t want to discourage them but it can be very uncomfortable for you.

Make Male Breasts a Thing of the Past with Vaser Lipo

For men living with gynecomastia, it can be a highly distressing condition. Although recently people have spoken in humour about man boobs or ‘moobs’, men who suffer from this condition can lead very unhappy and unsatisfactory lives. We also know that it is difficult enough to encourage men to see a normal doctor, so the idea of sending him off to have invasive surgery such as liposuction is near impossible. But Vaser Liposuction (or Lipo) is a non-invasive procedure that could change those men’s lives that live everyday with uncharacteristic breast enlargement.

So, what is Vaser Lipo? In the simple terms, it is a minimal-invasive procedure that removes fatty areas by using ultrasound technology to break down fatty deposits, which once turned into liquid are drained away by a cannula (a type of needle).

There are many benefits to Vaser Lipo which makes this procedure ideal for men who want to reduce their breast size. For starters, because this is a practically non-invasive procedure, there are minimal side-effects. Ultrasound technology does not damage the surrounding tissue like traditional liposuction would, and so the male patients would leave with almost no physical marks of their procedure, helping to reduce any embarrassment after treatment.
