What Is High Definition Liposuction?

In this episode of Plastic Surgery Untold, we break down everything you need to know about high definition liposuction (HD lipo) — a body contouring technique designed to enhance your natural anatomical structure, not just remove fat. HD lipo focuses on creating defined lines and contours by sculpting around the body’s existing musculature, achieving results that look fit, natural, and tailored to each patient.

We cover the different levels of HD lipo — from soft and subtle vertical lines to ultra-definition with etched abdominal inscriptions. Not everyone is a candidate for high definition lipo, and that’s why we also discuss when combining treatments like skin tightening or targeted fat transfer (such as for the butt, hips, or pecs) can take your results to the next level.

Key highlights include:

• How ultrasound technology guides precision liposculpting to ensure natural contours and smooth transitions.

• Post-op pearls and recovery tips, plus why skin laxity and Renuvion tightening are critical for optimal results.

• Expanding HD lipo beyond the abdomen, including arms, back, chest, and shoulders — ideal for both women and men aiming for a sculpted look.

This episode dives into the artistry behind HD lipo and explains how it differs from traditional liposuction. Whether you want subtle definition or a chiseled, athletic appearance, understanding the right approach for your body is key.
