Discover a new, lasting option to get that athletic, sculpted look.
Most people associate liposuction with fat reduction. But to leave it at that leaves out the true power of this popular procedure. Expertly performed liposuction is as much about sculpting as it is about removing fat. At La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, our plastic surgeons have always understood this fact. That’s why we’re excited to offer HD Lipo, or hi-definition liposculpture with PAL® to men who visit LJCSC!
We were the first plastic surgery practice in California to offer this advanced liposuction technique.
Our San Diego HD Lipo specialist, Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes, is one of a very limited number of plastic surgeons in the United States who have been extensively trained in the MicroAire high-definition liposculpture technique. Dr. Salazar was invited to train with one of the world’s most revered liposculpture experts, Dr. Ahmad Saad, at his practice in Barcelona, Spain. We’re thrilled that Dr. Salazar has brought this advanced technique to our practice—and so are our body contouring patients!
HD lipo delivers dramatic, long-lasting results, enhancing muscle definition and creating a chiseled appearance. Benefits include:
It’s important to understand that HD liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is best for healthy men at or near their ideal weight with good skin elasticity who have isolated areas of fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise.

With HD Lipo, Dr. Salazar can help you get the enhanced contours and definition you’ve been visualizing but can’t seem to achieve fully with diet and exercise. He performs HD Lipo as a two-step procedure:
Power-assisted liposuction is easier on you, plain and simple. The powered instruments loosen fat gently and precisely, allowing the surgeon to sculpt with great precision and ease and with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Compared to older liposuction technology, PAL also results in less post-operative swelling and bruising, less pain and soreness after surgery, and a quicker return to your normal lifestyle. You’ll enjoy your full results sooner, too. Dr. Luke Swistun also uses PAL to create stunning 360 Lipo results.
As always, your procedure at LJCSC is performed in our on-site QUAD A-accredited surgery center, with our award-winning patient care team there to make sure you are safe, comfortable, and attended to every step of the way.
Our advanced fat removal and sculpting technique is more accessible than ever, thanks to convenient and affordable payment plans now at your disposal. Put down an initial payment of $3,000, and your HD Lipo can start at $233 per month, spread over 60 months, once you qualify with average credit. Save even more if you can pay more upfront or have above-average credit!
High-definition liposuction pricing can vary depending on your specific needs and goals, so check out fee ranges and other details on our pricing page.
