General

VASER Hi-Def Liposuction 

The acronym “VASER” stands for Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance. This refined method of fat removal involves the use of a tumescent fluid, ultrasound waves, and gentle suction power. The tumescent fluid, comprising a mixture of saline, epinephrine, and lidocaine, and tranexamic acid (TXA) is injected to facilitate fat removal and minimize bruising. Subsequently, small stealth incisions are made in the targeted areas, allowing VASER probes to deliver ultrasound waves that gently agitate the fat. The unwanted fat is then dislodged from blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue and subsequently suctioned out with the aid of a cannula. This process is repeated in each targeted area until the desired results are achieved, after which the incisions are closed with sutures. The duration of the treatment varies based on the number of targeted areas, but many patients typically complete the procedure within two to three hours. 

Dr. Tehrani is one of the pioneers in combining energy based devices to compliment his surgical outcomes.  Patients who have mild skin laxity may benefit from combing either Renuvion or Bodytite to their VASER Hi-Definition procedure to ensure proper skin tightening.  Renuvion is device that uses radiofrequency energy and helium plasma to cause contraction of the collagen fibers under the skin, resulting in tighter skin.  Bodytite uses radiofrequency energy both under the skin and on the epidermis to yield skin contraction as well.  During your consultation, Dr. Tehrani will assess your skin laxity and make the determination of which modality will most benefit your needs. 

Who is a Good Candidate for VASER Hi-Def Liposuction?

Dr. Tehrani will perform a thorough history and physical examination to ensure you are a good candidate for the procedure.  Healthy men and women interested in sculpting their body and who haven’t responded to diet and exercise are great candidates for VASER Hi-Def liposuction. Ideal candidates must be in good overall health with a BMI of under 32.  They should already be leading a healthy and active lifestyle.  Ideal candidates should have good skin elasticity and tone.  

Preparation Before Surgery 

All patients undergoing general anesthesia must obtain a medical clearance from their primary care physician.  A complete set of blood work and EKG will also be completed prior to surgery. Any patient using nicotine products must stop a least 4 weeks prior to surgery. Dr. Tehrani asks that patients not make any drastic change to their diets or exercise routine prior to surgery. 

Recovery and Results

For the initial week following treatment, you may experience minimal discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas. To help maintain the results, a compression garment will be provided for you to wear for several weeks. During this period, it’s advisable to engage in short, brisk walks to promote circulation and aid in the healing process. Many patients find that they can comfortably return to work after the first week of recovery. Resumption of strenuous physical activity is typically possible within four weeks. 

Dr. Tehrani is a strong believer in post operative lymphatic drainage and massage therapy for all his body sculpting patients.  This allows fluid to be removed and swelling to decrease rapidly allowing for a quicker recovery and better outcomes.  Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is also highly recommended after surgery to provide greater oxygen flow the surgical areas, eliminating toxins and better nourishing the tissue. 

Immediate results may be noticeable immediately after surgery, but the final outcomes will develop gradually over time. You’ll observe a more athletic and streamlined appearance with well-defined contours. These results are long-lasting since fat cells do not regenerate, although any remaining fat cells have the potential to expand. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper diet and exercise can help prolong your results. 

What are the Steps of a VASER Hi-Def Liposuction Procedure?

It is not unusual to encounter challenges when attempting to eliminate unwanted body fat. Unfortunately, even with diligent efforts in diet and exercise, achieving the desired aesthetic can be elusive. Technological advancements in cosmetic procedures have greatly enhanced the effectiveness and precision of body contouring treatments. VASER Hi-Def liposuction, for instance, offers a solution by precisely targeting specific areas of fat to help individuals attain their desired physique. This advanced fat removal technique not only targets stubborn fat deposits but also enables surgeons to meticulously sculpt fat, resulting in the appearance of enhanced muscle definition. Highlighting the patient’s own artistic anatomy with strategic removal and addition of fat results in a natural enhancement.  By utilizing energy during the procedure, fat becomes easier to remove while simultaneously tightening the skin, leading to a leaner and more sculpted appearance. 

VASER Hi-Def Liposuction Options in Newport Beach

Brazilian Buttock Lift 

We all have fat deposits, but sometimes they aren’t in the exact places we want them to be. To reposition your rump, we start by removing excess fat from above and around the buttocks. Autologous grafting is the art of relocating unwanted fat from the belly, thighs, or hips to another part of your body. Common areas that we liposuction for this procedure include the abdomen and thighs. This procedure does not use butt implants, so the results from both liposuction and butt lift procedures are permanent. 

Avéli™ 

Dr. Ali Tehrani was one of the first to offer Avéli™ and has been thrilled to offer cutting-edge procedures to his patients looking for a meaningful reduction in cellulite dimples. 

The Avéli™ treatment is a one-time, minimally invasive procedure approved by the FDA for reducing cellulite on the buttocks and thighs. The procedure involves a handheld device inserted under the skin to separate the septae (bands of connective tissue) that connect to the skin’s surface and create dimples. Patients can see an improvement in the appearance of cellulite immediately after treatment. There is little to no downtime after your Avéli procedure and we love using it to give our Hi-Def Lipo patients the best most comprehensive results possible. 

Arm Lift

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure to address excess, sagging skin on the upper arms. Weight fluctuations, aging, and heredity can all cause the upper arms to droop or sag. During an arm lift procedure, excess fat and skin are removed, and the upper arm area is tightened for a slimmer appearance. Arm lift patients are often thrilled with their smoother, tighter contours.

4.7 stars from 1,653 reviews and counting!

I cannot express the amount of respect I have for Dr. Tehrani and his exquisite gift of artistry.

His attention and the attention of his special staff means the world. If I could add more stars I would! I had tummy tuck, Vaser lipo, and bbl three weeks ago and from day one (consultation) I immediately knew I was in the absolute best hands.

Dr. T is an artist and he really brought out the best in me!

Dr. Tehrani is an outstanding physician! If you not only want great work but a Dr. that truly cares about you, you just found him! Dr. Tehrani and staff took excellent care of me before, during and after my surgery; and a HUGE plus was I got to be near home and didn’t have to drive down the hill!

My experience at Tehrani Plastic Surgery has been nothing short of stellar.

Dr. Tehrani, his staff, and the results I get make it worth driving from my home in San Diego to Apply Valley. I have even referred many of my San Diego friends to Dr. Tehrani and we have turned it into a group road trip. Nichole, the patient coordinator, and the rest of the office staff are friendly, efficient, and makes the scheduling, paperwork, and follow up process simple.
