4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo)

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) performed by Dr Ivan Puah involves ultrasound wave energy that is delivered internally to the targeted fat tissues via a probe. This probe emits sonic vibrations to melt the fat for ease of removal. Cannulas of varied sizes are used to reduce fat and further sculpt and contour the body.

This procedure is performed in an accredited Day Surgery, with the patient under twilight sedation (not GA). The anaesthetist will monitor the patient's vital stats throughout the process while Dr Ivan Puah carries out the procedure. Small incisions less than 4mm long are made, followed by infiltration of anaesthetic fluid to the targeted body region. Then ultrasound energy is applied to liquefy the fat, making it easier for the doctor to remove it via suction.

An athletic-looking and toned body is achievable through 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo), as it removes fat, sculpts muscle and tightens skin during the process.

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) removes both the superficial and deep fat surrounding muscle groups to enhance the visibility of underlying toning and musculature.

During 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) procedure, fat is removed from all three layers of fat. The procedure really begins where standard liposuction ends. The subcutaneous fat is divided into three layers. Removing fat from the deepest and thickest layer will reduce the most volume from the treated area. Fat is then etched from the superficial layer to create the six-pack or 11-line muscle definition.

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) is designed for "customised contouring" rather than debulking; hence the ideal candidate is individual with good muscle tone without a lot of fat or loose skin.

For example, individuals very close to their goal weight; are somewhat toned but fail to achieve the abdominal muscle definition they desire. 4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) is, therefore, suitable for these individuals who consistently work out 4 to 6 times per week but cannot achieve the "washboard" appearance (which generally can only be seen in those with very little body fat - about 3%).

4D Liposuction (Hi-Definition Lipo) creates a more desirable athletic look by removing deep and superficial fat that may obscure the underlying muscles' details.

Having trained in to perform liposuction is only the beginning. Dr Ivan Puah believes it is crucial to understand and master the technicalities of the procedure, including the potential complications that may arise. To be meticulous in approach, with a detailed overview and foresight capabilities, are essential must-haves for a doctor.
