VASER Hi-Def Body Sculpting

Body Sculpting is a good option for trans men who wish to further masculinize their body shape. VASER is also known as high-definition liposuction. VASER body sculpting suctions excess fat out of target areas of the body to provide more definition—the same type of muscle definition found in people with very low body fat. Candidates for Body Sculpting should be close to their ideal body weight and have good muscle tone already.

MaleMorph VASER Hi-Def Liposuction:
Dr. Sherie's hi-definition VASER liposuction procedures are unique to her practice. Common areas include the chest, abdomen, waist (from underarms to hip bones), back, hips/outer thighs, inner thighs, upper arms. Hi-def muscle definition can be performed on the abs ("six pack") and arms (deltoids).
