Liposculpting is a popular cosmetic procedure that helps to provide an improved and more sculpted appearance of the body. While traditional liposuction techniques are excellent at removing excess fat, high-definition liposculpting goes one step further by using your anatomy to determine areas where fat needs to be removed and then potentially using that same fat to enhance other portions of your body, including the breasts, buttock, and hips. Dr. Lalezar performs high-definition liposculpting in NYC to help you achieve the ideal body contours.
Precision Body Contouring
High-definition liposculpting, also known as HD liposculpting, is a body contouring technique that targets specific areas of the body to create a more toned and defined appearance. This technique uses advanced liposuction methods, including ultrasound-assisted liposuction and skin tightening technology, to precisely remove fat from targeted areas and sculpt the body to give you a natural, fit, and beautiful result.
Traditional Liposuction vs. High-Definition Liposculpting
The primary difference between traditional liposuction and high-definition liposculpting is the level of precision and control. With traditional liposuction, the goal is to remove excess fat from the body in a general sense. High-definition liposuction, on the other hand, is specifically designed to target and sculpt specific areas of the body, such as the abdominal muscles or the buttocks, to create a more defined and chiseled appearance.
The Goals of High-Definition Liposculpting:
- Removing excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body
- Revealing your underlying muscle definition
- Improving the tightness and firmness of your skin
- Use the harvested fat to enhance certain areas of your body including breasts, buttock, and hips
- Helping you appreciate the results of your workouts and balanced meals
Highlight Your Chiseled Muscles
High-definition liposculpting in NYC aims to highlight and define your anatomy and muscles in targeted areas of your body, such as the abdomen and buttocks. This is often achieved by removing excess fat cells from the regions around your muscle fibers to create a more toned and defined appearance. Even if you have strong, well-defined muscles, excess fat cells can prevent them from appearing prominently. The HD liposculpting enhances the visibility of your muscles.

- Buttocks

Achieve Firm & Taut Skin
Another goal of high-definition liposculpting is to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. By removing excess fat and contouring the body, high-definition liposculpting can make your body look more slender. Furthermore, high-definition liposculpting also includes ultrasound technology, which can stimulate collagen production and make your skin look taut and youthful. HD liposculpting is helpful for those with loose or sagging skin because of age or weight loss.
Enhance Areas of Your Body
With high-definition liposculpting in NYC, Dr. Lalezar’s specialized technique includes the ability to take the fat from areas which we want to make smaller and more defined, to areas where patient’s want to improve/augment their appearance. This process known as fat grafting, can help to improve the appearance of certain areas of the body including:
- Chest
- Breasts
- Hips
- Buttock
Unique Benefits of High-Definition Liposculpting:

Dr. Lalezar’s Surgical Technique
Traditional Liposuction
Dr. Lalezar is a leading plastic surgeon specializing in liposculpting. He offers personalized consultations to help patients achieve their desired body contouring results. During the consultation, Dr. Lalezar will discuss your goals and desired outcomes and review your medical history and overall health. He will also perform a physical examination to assess your suitability for the procedure, following which he’ll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
High-Definition Liposuction
The high-definition liposculpting in NYC procedure takes several hours to complete and is performed under local or general anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Lalezar will make small incisions in the targeted area and insert a thin cannula, or tube, to suction out excess fat cells. He will use advanced liposculpting techniques, such as ultrasound-assisted liposuction, to precisely sculpt the area and create a more defined and toned appearance. The specific details of your surgical technique depend on your goals.
360 Liposuction
Dr. Lalezar also provides 360 liposuction. This technique transforms body shaping by targeting fat from all angles, delivering comprehensive results. Unlike traditional methods, it sculpts and contours the entire torso, enhancing curves and achieving a more stunning and harmonious appearance.
Your Recovery Journey
After undergoing high-definition liposculpting, you must follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. You may experience pain and discomfort after the procedure, for which you can take over-the-counter pain medications. Swelling is a normal part of recovery and can take several weeks to resolve. Dr. Lalezar will provide a compression garment to reduce swelling and support the treated area.
You can resume your daily activities and work within a week or two. However, you should rest the treated areas and avoid strenuous workouts and heavy lifting for at least 6 to 8 weeks or until the side effects subside completely. You must follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing. The results of your liposculpting in NYC will gradually become evident after a few months.
FAQs
Am I a suitable candidate for liposculpting?
Liposculpting is generally suitable for individuals with localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are in good health, close to their target weight, and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes.
Are there any potential risks or complications associated with liposculpting?
As with any surgical procedure, liposculpting carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, and anesthesia-related issues. It’s important to discuss your medical history with your surgeon and follow their pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks.
Will liposculpting provide permanent results?
Liposculpting provides long-lasting results, but maintaining them requires a healthy lifestyle. The treated areas typically maintain a slimmer appearance due to the removal of fat cells, which can’t return. But the existing fat cells can still expand if you gain weight, so you must eat balanced meals and exercise regularly.
How much does liposculpting typically cost, and is it covered by insurance?
Liposculpting costs vary based on factors like the extent of treatment and the specific surgical techniques and details involved. Cosmetic procedures like liposculpting are usually not covered by insurance since they are considered elective.
Can liposculpting help me achieve a specific body contour or shape?
Yes, liposculpting is designed to target specific areas and sculpt the body. It can enhance muscle definition and create more appealing contours, helping you achieve a more defined and proportionate appearance.
Are there any restrictions or guidelines for maintaining results after liposculpting?
To maintain liposculpting results, a balanced diet and regular exercise are essential. Avoid significant weight fluctuations. Following your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and attending follow-up appointments will also aid in preserving your results.
What are the differences between liposculpting and other body contouring procedures?
Unlike traditional liposuction, liposculpting focuses on precise fat removal to create defined contours. It also includes a component of skin tightening to prevent excess laxity after the procedure, as can happen after liposuction. Other procedures like tummy tucks address excess skin and muscle repair. Please consult Dr. Lalezar to discuss your specific goals and identify the appropriate treatment for your needs.
