Stony Brook, NY ( prfree ) May 14, 2013 - Traditional liposuction is a common procedure designed to contour the body and remove excess fat that's resistant to diet and exercise. For patients who desire a more muscular look, the VASER 4D and Hi Def procedures offer an effective alternative. Stony Brook's Dr. Epstein took the time to discuss these techniques and their addition to his practice.

"VASER Hi Def is a technique developed by Dr. Alfredo Hoyos utilizing the already-existing VASER ultrasound technology," Dr. Epstein explains. "It allows us to remove excess fat from targeted areas, and then use that fat to fill in areas with less volume. The deep and superficial lipo-sculpting techniques used in this procedure allow us to provide a natural, muscular appearance for our patients."

When asked about the difference between VASER Hi Def and Vaser 4D, Dr. Epstein had this to add: "Essentially an update to VASER Hi Def, VASER 4D focuses on the motion and placement of underlying muscles in the body. By learning how fatty tissue interacts with our musculature, we're able to enhance the muscular, sculpted look. VASER 4D also accounts for any future weight loss that may occur, ensuring patients will experience long-lasting, quality work."

Speaking on the patient-side benefits of VASER 4D, Dr. Epstein added, "Patients who are struggling to see results of their weight loss efforts will be able to enjoy a more toned and muscular body. Additionally, VASER 4D can be completed in less time than traditional VASER or lipo-sculpture procedures, and there is a reduction in postoperative swelling, pain, or bruising."

Asked to elaborate on what the introduction of VASER 4D means for his practice, Dr. Epstein concluded with this: "As I have been personally trained in this technique by Dr. Hoyos, I am confident in my ability to provide patients with the body they have been looking for. If exercise simply isn't giving you the results you desire, I encourage you to contact us today to learn more."
