What is high definition liposuction (6-pack etching)?
A. High definition liposuction is the three dimensional sculpting of the abdominal muscles, the chest muscles, the lower back and gluteus to enhance their appearance. The procedure is designed as an advanced scultping technique rather than standard liposuction and requires an experienced surgeon. The procedure is indicated for males and females who have good muscle tone, exercise regularly, have good quality skin, and have been unable to achieve their desired muscle definition. The procedure is performed under local tumescent anesthesia; the high definition liposuction goal is to remove the superficial and deep fat that covers the target muscles. Drs. Pelosi perform high definition liposuction using SmartLipo Laserlipolysis and Vaser Liposelection systems for the initial liquefaction of the fat around the muscles to be enhanced. The sculpturing is completed using fine cannulas specially designed by Drs. Pelosi for high definition sculpturing.
