Santo Domingo. - The search for a defined abdomen has led many people to become interested in high-definition lipo, a procedure that focuses on more athletic and natural results than traditional liposuction.
Cosmetic surgeon Luis Bonetti explained that this technique allows sculpting muscle reliefs with a precision that has captured the attention of patients who want a more noticeable abdominal definition.
He indicated that, unlike traditional liposuction, whose main objective is to reduce volume, this procedure "consists of a high-definition liposculpture, where I work the fat in a very selective way to highlight the natural contours of the abdominal musculature," the specialist pointed out. "It's not just removing fat; it's sculpting the muscle reliefs with precision to create a more athletic abdomen."

Who seeks this type of surgery?
The specialist maintained that this type of surgery is aimed at people close to their ideal weight, with healthy habits and some prior muscle tone. "They are usually active patients who are not looking to lose weight, but rather to reinforce the definition of the abdomen. It is key that they have realistic expectations and skin with good retraction," he affirmed. Furthermore, he confirmed a notable increase in the demand for this procedure, driven by social media and constant exposure to defined bodies. "Current techniques allow for safer and more natural results, which has increased patient confidence," he added. The real secret: the postoperative period The doctor emphasized that the risks are the same as any surgical procedure: bleeding, infection, or possible irregularities, but he underlined that the final success depends largely on post-operative care. "The patient must wear a girdle strictly, perform lymphatic drainage, avoid physical exertion, and attend frequent check-ups. Disciplined recovery is essential for the abdominal lines to be defined." Impact of lifestyle He explained that high-definition abdominal etching can be maintained for years, but it is not immune to weight changes. "If the patient gains weight or increases their body fat percentage, the definition is lost. The surgery gives a boost, but the result depends on the commitment to a healthy lifestyle," he said.
