What My Patients Say
Real Patients, Real Transformations
What is High-Definition Liposuction?
High-Definition Liposuction (HD Lipo) is an advanced body sculpting technique that goes beyond traditional fat removal to meticulously enhance the body’s natural musculature and proportions.
Unlike conventional liposuction, which primarily removes excess fat to create a slimmer appearance, HD Lipo strategically sculpts around muscle structures, revealing a more athletic, defined, and toned look.
By using precise fat removal and selective fat grafting, this technique highlights natural contours such as the abdominal six-pack, oblique lines, pectoral definition, and the V-taper in men and women.
The result is a more sculpted, proportionate, and aesthetically fit physique, tailored to each patient’s anatomy for a natural yet striking enhancement.

How is High-Definition Liposuction Performed?
High-Definition Liposuction (HD Lipo) is performed under general anesthesia to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience.
The procedure starts with small incisions strategically hidden in natural creases to minimize visible scarring. A tumescent solution—a specialized mix of saline, anesthetic, and epinephrine—is injected to reduce bleeding, numb the area, and separate fat from surrounding tissues. This allows for precise fat removal that sculpts and enhances the natural muscle definition, creating a toned, athletic appearance.
To prevent fluid buildup and speed up healing, small surgical drains are placed to remove excess fluid between the tissues.
After surgery, absorbent pads covered with a compression garment (faja) help minimize swelling, reduce bruising, and improve skin retraction, ensuring optimal body contouring results while providing comfort and support during recovery.

Procedure, Benefits & Safety
Vivamus ultrices ipsum.
HD Lipo is commonly performed on the abdomen, waist, flanks, back, arms, thighs, chest (for men with gynecomastia), and under the chin to create a sculpted, athletic look.
HD Lipo removes fat and enhances muscle definition, while a tummy tuck tightens loose skin and repairs abdominal muscles. Patients with significant skin laxity may require a combination of both procedures.
HD Lipo can improve skin contraction, but if significant loose or sagging skin is present, skin tightening treatments like Venus Bliss Max radiofrequency or a surgical procedure may be needed.
Yes! HD Liposuction can harvest fat from the abdomen, waist, or thighs and transfer it to the buttocks or hips for enhanced volume and contour.
The incisions used for HD Lipo are small and strategically placed in hidden areas, such as natural skin creases, to minimize visible scarring. Over time, scars fade significantly.
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. JC Alvarez, HD Lipo is safe and effective, especially when patients follow post-op instructions carefully.
Results, Recovery &
Long-Term Maintenance
Commodo vitae, elit nec ipsam.
Yes! Abdominal etching, a technique used in HD Lipo, sculpts the fat around the abdominal muscles, enhancing natural muscle definition to create the appearance of six-pack abs.
HD Lipo is not a weight loss procedure but a body contouring technique. It removes stubborn fat deposits and defines muscles, but patients should be close to their ideal weight for the best results.
Maintaining results requires a healthy diet, regular exercise, hydration, and post-op treatments like lymphatic massages, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and muscle stimulation.
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with good skin elasticity and stubborn fat deposits, looking to enhance muscle definition and achieve a sculpted, athletic physique.
