Dr. Bruce Chau, a 20-year veteran of plastic surgery, is a board certified plastic surgeon who has the eye and natural artistic ability demanded to successfully sculpt bodies. Located in Southeast MI, just outside of Detroit, Dr. Chau specializes in VASER-assisted, high-definition liposculpting (VAHDL) and is one of the few recognized experts in the international high-definition liposculpting movement. Dr. Chau also performs other types of liposuction, tummy tuck and body contouring procedures on patients from all over the United States and Canada. One of Michigan’s most skilled surgeons, Dr. Chau has been featured on the television show Extra because of his stellar reputation.
Dr. Chau is more than just a celebrity plastic surgeon. He is a purveyor or beauty and a trend setter in American high-definition liposculpture. Dr. Chau is one of the few surgeons credentialed in the United States to perform VASER-assisted high definition liposculpting. He has trained with the master originators of high-definition liposculpture, Drs. Alfred Hoyos and John Millard. If you are a fit, motivated patient, it may be appropriate to consider VASER high definition body sculpting.
Dr. Chau has identified 4 types of patients that can benefit from his body contouring expertise:
- Fit, motivated patients: VASER-assisted high definition liposculpture and liposuction are ideal tools to sculpt this patient’s body type and will provide highly noticeable results. When used as a refining technique, VAHDL reduces the amount of fat creating a sculpted, athletic appearance such as six pack abs for the fit, motivated patient. This patient can maintain their sculpted look as long as their lifestyle choices remain healthy.
- Reasonably active, overweight patients: Diet and exercise can help this patient to achieve their desired results. However, this patient’s exercise regime may be inconsistent due to lifestyle or lack of time due to work and family commitments. Liposuction can help this patient to achieve their desired results.
- Large patients (with a BMI of 30-35): This patient can refine their shape and benefit from liposuction as a jump start. However, this patient typically requires diet, exercise and lifestyle changes for liposuction results to remain highly successful over the long term.
- Patients Over 35 BMI: This patient will benefit mostly from a lifestyle change and possibly bariatric surgery. However, Dr. Chau will discuss liposuction with this category of patients to see if he can treat certain specific problem areas with it.
With VASER-assisted high-definition liposculpture, Dr. Chau can create a sculpted and athletic appearance in both men and women. Exercise may or may not help problem areas like love handles, the lower stomach pouch (women), flanks or inner thighs. VAHDL treats these problem areas by removing fat in a way that accentuates the shadow area and results in a defined, athletic appearance.
An attentive and honest man, Dr. Chau listens to the needs of people to help them determine how to achieve the look they want based on the proper procedure for their body. With extensive expertise at liposuction and tummy tuck, he is a source of cutting-edge surgical and non-surgical techniques to help a person feel better about their body. From his office in Southeast MI, he can help you to decide if liposculpture, tummy tuck , a combination of the two procedures known as Abelare tummy tuck (combituck), or simply diet and exercise might be the right treatment for you.
