HD Lipo (High-Definition Liposculpture) in San Diego

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!

Our HD Lipo Specialist

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!

Dr. Salazar accepts a certificate from international HD liposculpture expert Dr. Saad

Benefits of HD Lipo for Men

HD lipo delivers dramatic, long-lasting results, enhancing muscle definition and creating a chiseled appearance. Benefits include:

  • Revealing a hard-earned six-pack with abdominal etching
  • Enhancing definition in the shoulders, delts, and biceps
  • Sculpting the chest to achieve more defined, masculine pecs

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.

Considering Hi-Def Lipo in San Diego? Here’s How It Works

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:

  • Step 1: Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) removes unwanted fat, achieving a base level of contouring and leaving the treated area(s) leaner throughout.
  • Step 2: HD Lipo sculpts the abs, chest, back, arms, legs, and other areas. Because Dr. Salazar has already removed baseline fat with PAL, he can focus on sculpting in incredible detail, following the natural lines of your musculature.

Faster Recovery, Faster Results

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.

Notice the changes from pre-op to two years after surgery. This patient said, “Dr. Salazar changed my life.”

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.
