There’s nothing more frustrating than spending months or even years working out but despite these efforts, you just can’t seem to shed that last bit of stubborn abdominal fat or love handles to get those six-pack abs.
Quite often, patients come to me with this very problem. They hope for a procedure that can finally make their underlying muscle or “six-pack” visible.
Well, the answer to this problem is VASER High Definition Liposuction, a revolutionary procedure that works by selectively removing small deposits of fat surrounding specific muscle groups to enhance the visibility of the natural muscle contours underneath. This technique requires the precision removal of the superficial and deep fat layers surrounding the muscles to enhance the underlying musculature and achieve well-defined or “ripped” six-pack abs. To ensure the very best results it is imperative that your surgeon possesses an expert understanding of the underlying muscle anatomy, as well as, an artistic eye.

Total Body Transformation refers to 360°, circumferential contouring of the body. Subsequently, this result in “jaw-dropping” results that will revolutionize your life. Whether you are trying to push yourself to the next level or have lost hope of ever regaining your youthful figure, our total body transformation surgery will elevate your figure to the next level. In order to achieve a total body transformation, you will complete a full evaluation and establish a starting grade based on Dr. Laguna’s high definition liposuction Body Scale. Afterward, he will recommend a comprehensive and customized surgical plan for you.
The HDL Body scale establishes your starting point, helps design your surgical plan, and then objectifies your gains. Dr. Laguna is well recognized not only for his precision but also for his ability to consistently transform you to a near-perfect 9 or 10 grade. Dr. Laguna specifically uses a combination both of VASER liposuction and skin tightening methods with minimally invasive Renuvion skin tightening and more invasive skin tucking procedures to achieve his total body transformations.
Optimizing male chest appearance requires an appreciation of the ideal chest aesthetics and a sound strategic plan to achieve the ultimate masculine appearance. Moreover, an armor plate appearance describes the ideal masculine chest. As such, this appearance describes a flat, yet bold chest with straight lines and a pentagonal shape seen below.
The chest denotes strength by virtue of a dominant armor plate chest appearance. This appearance comes from the contrast on the more sleek lower abdomen. Furthermore, a flat yet bold contour created by straight lines and strong borders depicts this masculinized appearance.
High definition liposuction of the chest can be optimized by following guidelines that attempt to accentuate the above pentagonal shape with straight yet prominent border lines. Specifically, the surgical algorithm has been simplified using notations of “+” where fat is added, ” – ” where fat is to be removed, and “0” where no manipulation is required

Mommy makeover surgery focuses on reviving your youthful female silhouette. What forms the female silhouette? First, it is the naturally beautiful curves of the female body that one observes when looking from the front as well as from the side. Secondly, from the front view, it is characterized by the hourglass shape which refers to a narrow waistline and thighs juxtaposed by a fuller hip region. Finally, on the lateral profile view, it is described by generous, perky breasts that are balanced by a full buttocks region juxtaposed by a narrow waistline.
Moreover, these are the curves that make you irresistible to men, and these attributes motivate designers to make women’s clothes. As a result, it is not surprising to consider that as plastic surgeons, patients ask us daily to assist with reviving the female silhouette. The typical candidate will come to our office after having had her last child and now desires to revive her youthful breast, body, and buttocks contour in a mommy makeover procedure. Dr. Mowlavi designed the mommy makeover paradigm to allow prospective moms to appreciate the contouring options available.

Dr. Mowlavi sat down with RealSelf to discuss his world-renowned HD liposuction protocol that provides patients with both astonishing and life-changing results! He has constructed his HD Body Scale in order to accurately and definitively provide patients with a surgical plan that guarantees them a true HD body contouring result.
Surgical Planning
Excess Fat
Vaser Liposuction maximizes fat reduction. VASER utilizes ultrasound technology to “melt” the fat prior to liposuction and allows comprehensive fat removal. Therefore, Vaser technology provides Dr. Mowlavi with the best tool to remove fat circumferentially and circumstantially, allowing him to address both superficial and deep layers of fat. In fact, Vaser Liposuction is not limited to the deep layer of fat like traditional liposuction modalities. Because of this, Dr. Mowlavi can remove 30-40% more fat compared to other liposuction surgeons. However, laser technology is just a tool for a surgeon, true high definition liposuction results are achieved by trained HD liposuction surgeons.
Skin Redundancy
In his exclusive interview with Realself, Dr. Laguna explains that redundant skin often limits true high definition liposuction results. The High Definition Body Scale allows Dr. Laguna to address this skin redundancy in various ways. For example, mild to moderate skin redundancy is removed through Renuvion skin tightening subdermal coagulation and Vaser high definition liposuction alone. However, more severe skin redundancy will require a simultaneous mini tuck along with the HD liposuction. Finally, in extreme cases of excess skin, Dr. Mowlavi will stage your procedure and then begin with a full tucking procedure followed by Vaser liposuction.

Regardless of weight gain or loss, droopy skin may plague both men and women on their upper arms. We often refer to this loose, hanging skin as “bat wings”. It is an unfortunate and often unavoidable symptom of aging or weight loss caused by stretched or excess skin. Younger patients can also be plagued by “bat wings,” however, unlike older patients, it’s usually caused not just by excess skin, but also by excess fat on the arms. For these patients, the scarless arm lift is a powerful option.
Previously, when consulting with patients who are interested in upper arm contouring, I had to advise them that current options were limited to a Brachioplasty (arm lift), a tucking procedure that surgically reduces excess sagging skin, tightens and smooths the underlying tissues, and reduces pockets of fat in the upper arm region.
One downside to this procedure is that it requires not only the removal of excess fatty tissue but also the surgical removal of excess skin. This excision routinely involves cutting of the skin along the entire length of the upper arm. Although many have made attempts to limit the incision to the armpit area, this modification can result in worse results; these include even more unsightly scars and sub-optimal contouring of the mid to mid proximal arm level. Another downside of the traditional longitudinal incision is that it can be tough to heal, resulting in poor scarring. Most of us enjoy wearing short-sleeved shirts, especially during summertime, and hiding an incision scar can be quite difficult.

The Goal of HD Liposuction
High definition liposuction strives to achieve a PERFECT 10 body. In order to create this 10 grade, your surgeon must consider your pre-op HD Liposuction Body Scale grade. Both the degree of excess fat, as well as the amount of redundant skin and quality of the skin as shown above determine the HD Lipo Body Scale grade. Therefore, the major limiting factor that prevents patients with a score of a 2 to 5 from getting to a 9 or 10 followings VASER Liposuction is the redundancy and quality of their skin.
How Tummy Tuck Patients Benefit From HD Liposuction
Patients who have undergone a full tummy tuck will typically raise their HDL body scale score from a 2 to 5 to a 7 to 8 grade. The tucking procedure will reduce moderate to severe skin redundancy as well as eliminate poor, textured skin. However, it does not address residual excess fat that cannot be simultaneously removed. Patients that have undergone a tummy tuck are left with surgically created contour irregularity in the lower abdominal region. This is due to the natural contraction of the surgical incision or seems line. HD Liposuction provides tummy tuck patients the opportunity to correct all contour irregularities as well as any residual adiposity in order to transform patients into aesthetic beauty recognized by an HD lipo grade scale of 9 to 10.
