Why Full Tummy Tuck Patients Will Most Benefit From HD Liposuction

By Arian Mowlavi

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.

Contouring of the Female Thigh Gap

By Arian Mowlavi

The Female Thigh Gap defines the lower buttock diamond opening. An ideal lower medial buttock cheek border and upper medial thigh border create this opening.

When a female thigh gap is appropriately contoured, this region will add significant appeal to the lower buttocks and upper thigh region. The medial lower buttocks should have the appearance of a horizontal “J”. When the lower medial buttocks are full, it appears squared off and masculine. If deficient in volume, the medial buttocks cheek will look prematurely aged and often cellulitic and aesthetically unappealing. When squared off, the medial buttocks require refined liposuction to remove prominence and to round out the contour giving it the horizontal “J” appearance. When deficient, the lower medial buttocks requires accurate fat transfer to give it fullness. Often, the lower medial buttocks region has very tight retaining ligaments that require a double release technique that is critical to allowing for contour correction.
