Jawline Sculpting with Vaser Hi-Def

Vaser Hi-Definition is an advanced contouring treatment that sculpts the jawline by breaking down and removing fat with ultrasound energy and liposuction. It also tightens skin for improved definition, helping to reduce sagging jowls and create a sharper chin.

Introduction to Jawline Sculpting with Vaser Hi-Definition

A well-defined jawline is one of the hallmarks of a youthful, balanced face. Unfortunately, age, genetics, and lifestyle factors can all contribute to sagging jowls or a double chin. These common concerns often make people appear older than they are and can be resistant to diet and exercise alone.

Vaser Hi-Definition offers an advanced solution. Using ultrasound energy, this treatment breaks down and loosens fat cells, which are then gently removed with liposuction. The process is highly precise, targeting unwanted fat while minimising damage to surrounding tissues. [1]

Beyond fat removal, Vaser Hi-Definition stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten skin and restore jawline definition. The result is a sharper, more youthful profile with natural-looking results. [2]

Benefits of Jawline Sculpting

Jawline sculpting with Vaser Hi-Definition at Dr. Grant Hamlet offers several key benefits.

Sharper Jawline

Define and contour the jawline for a more youthful, sculpted look.

Tighter Skin

Ultrasound energy stimulates collagen, reducing sagging for firmer skin.

Balanced Profile

Improve chin and jawline harmony to enhance overall facial proportions.

Stubborn Fat Removal

Eliminate resistant fat deposits for a cleaner, refined contour.

Vaser Hi-Definition vs Traditional Liposuction

Traditional liposuction uses the cannula itself to break up and suction out fat cells, which requires a considerable amount of manual force by the surgeon. As the cannula is passed back and forth through the treatment area, it disrupts the surrounding tissue, and can lead to a lot of bruising and swelling.

In contrast, Vaser Hi-Definition uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells, and so removal is a much gentler process. Furthermore, the use of ultrasound energy, as with Vaser, lowers the risk of inadequate blood supply, tissue death, and excessive bleeding. [3] Vaser Liposuction also shows fewer signs of trauma and involves faster recovery times. [4]

Good Candidates

In general, candidates for Vaser Hi-Definition are in good physical health, are at or near their ideal body weight, are non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for the outcome of their treatment. The procedure can give you a vastly-improved jawline and chin, but it is important to note that this procedure is not a weight loss treatment.

If you are looking for a less-invasive way to achieve a more youthful-looking, well-defined jawline, Vaser Hi-Definition with Dr Hamlet may be right for you.

Your Consultation

Your consultation will be a wonderful way for you and Dr. Hamlet to get to know each other, and discuss your personal aesthetic goals. Dr Hamlet takes a customised approach to all aesthetic procedures.

Before your consultation, please be prepared to share the following:

  • Any medical conditions or treatments or drug allergies.
  • Current medications, herbal supplements, vitamins, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use.
  • Previous surgeries.

During your consultation, Dr Hamlet will assess your individual needs and goals to determine if Vaser Hi-Definition is the best treatment for you. He will also answer any questions you may have about the treatment and help you to develop a personalised treatment plan.

In addition to explaining the procedure, Dr Hamlet will inform you of any preparation and recovery instructions you will need to follow. He will also provide you with a comprehensive list of before and after photos, so you can get an idea of what to expect from your treatment.

Preparing for Hi-Definition Jawline Sculpting

Before you decide to undergo Jawline Sculpting, be sure to do your research and ask plenty of questions. Once you have decided that the treatment is right for you, the next step is to begin preparing for your procedure.

Some tips for preparing for Hi-Definition Jawline Sculpting include:

  • Get a good night’s sleep: Be sure to get plenty of rest the night before your procedure. This will help you to feel relaxed and refreshed for your big day.
  • Maintain a healthy diet: Be sure to eat healthy foods before your and after your procedure. This will help to reduce the risk of complications and ensure that your body is able to heal properly.
  • Avoid alcohol: It is important to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your procedure. Alcohol can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
  • Stop smoking: If you are a smoker, it is important to stop smoking at least two weeks before your procedure. Smoking can impede the healing process and increase the risk of complications.

The Vaser Hi-Definition Treatment

Before your breast implant removal surgery, Dr. Hamlet may ask you to do the following:

  • Stop smoking.
  • Get a medical evaluation and lab testing.
  • Cease taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory meds, herbal supplements, or other medications that have the potential to increase bleeding.

Vaser Hi-Definition treatments are performed using local anaesthesia, which means that you will be awake during the procedure. However, you will not feel any pain or discomfort as the anaesthesia numbs the treatment area.

During the procedure, Dr Hamlet will make small incisions in the treatment area. These incisions are so small that they will not require stitches and will not leave scars. He will then insert a thin, hollow tube called a cannula into the incisions. The cannula is connected to a small handpiece, which emits ultrasonic waves that break up the fat cells.  Dr Hamlet will perform the procedure in pulsed mode (lower power) for the delicate area of the jawline and chin. [4]

Once the fat cells have been broken up, they will be suctioned out of the body using the cannula connected to a tube. During this process, Dr Hamlet “liposculpts” your jawline and chin to create a more defined look, which is associated with youth.

The entire Vaser Hi-Definition treatment usually takes about one to two hours to complete, because the jawline and chin are smaller areas.

Recovery

Recovery from any procedure depends on the duration and extent of the surgery and the health of the patient. Be sure to ask Dr. Hamlet any questions regarding post-op procedures, dressings/bandages, stitches, medications, follow-up care, and when you can resume normal activities. He’ll be happy to make sure that you have all the information you need.

One of the benefits of Vaser Hi-Definition is its relatively short recovery time. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within one to two days after their procedure.

However, it is important to take it easy for the first few days following your treatment. Be sure to avoid any strenuous activities, as these can increase the risk of complications.

You may experience some bruising and swelling in the treatment area, but this should resolve within a week or two. The incisions made during the procedure will also heal quickly and will not leave any visible scars.

Results

One of the benefits of Vaser Hi-Definition is that it can provide long-lasting results. The fat cells that are removed during the procedure are gone for good and will not return.

However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle following your procedure to ensure that the results are long-lasting. Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly will help to keep the fat cells from returning. That being said, ageing is inevitable and you may notice some changes in your appearance over time.

To maintain your results, it is recommended that you have a touch-up procedure every two to five years. Dr Hamlet also offers many other procedures and treatments to keep you looking fabulous, well into your later years!

FAQs

What are the Results of Vaser Hi-Definition?

No matter where you get Vaser Hi-Definition Sculpting, the results are striking. It gives you a natural, chiselled look that is hard to achieve with diet and exercise alone, or, as with the case of the jaw and chin, next to impossible.

When you come to Dr Hamlet for Vaser Hi-Definition, you can expect to achieve the following results:

  • A more youthful appearance
  • A slimmer, more defined jawline
  • A more chiselled chin
  • A more masculine or feminine appearance
  • A more balanced and symmetrical face

These results are not only immediate but long-lasting as well. In fact, many of our patients only need one treatment to achieve their desired look. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, touch-ups may be necessary down the road to maintain your results.

Pricing

Each surgical procedure requires unique care and attention, meaning that the cost for every surgery is individually determined. Dr. Grant Hamlet’s clinic offers various payment options to help manage the financial aspect. Their expert team is available to discuss these options and opportunities, aiming to ensure that cost does not hinder your access to quality healthcare.
