Hi-Def Liposuction is a surgical procedure for both women and men who are looking to remove fat and contour their bodies.
Liposuction is ideal for patients who are otherwise healthy but can’t seem to lose fat in specific body areas through diet and exercise.
All liposuction procedures performed at ShineMD Medspa use the tumescent method in combination with local anesthesia for a safe, minimally invasive approach to traditional liposuction.
Losing weight is hard work and dedication, so it’s understandably frustrating when you can’t seem to shed those last few pounds of fat from your body.
HiDef/Smart Lipo is a minimally invasive treatment that aims to remove unwanted fat from your body.
Vaser Liposuction and Smartlipo is the advanced way to perform lipo. Hi-Def Lipo also helps you define the muscles you’ve worked so hard for with abs etching.
HiDef lipo is an ideal option for patients who need a helping hand to get over the final hurdle to achieve their dream shape.
Breast augmentation with fat transfer and lipomodelling is a breast enhancement treatment that goes by a few names, such as fat grafting and fat transfer.
This breast enhancement technique is a modern alternative to traditional breast implants to increase the size and fullness of the breast.
Fat transfer to the breast is an effective, long-lasting treatment ideal for women who want a moderate increase in breast size.
With recent trends in the beauty industry, you may be left feeling self-conscious about a less-than-full backside. It’s not an easy thing to try and increase the size of your buttocks with exercise alone, as this can sometimes actually have the opposite effect.
The best way to efficiently augment your buttocks is with a Brazilian Butt Lift by using your own fat cells after liposuction procedure.
This surgical procedure is explained in greater detail below, or you can contact us today to schedule your consultation!
For both men and women, “love handles” can be extremely hard to get rid of, even with a healthy regimen of diet and exercise.
Like the waist, the flank area also has great skin elasticity. This area is considered the back end of the “love handles” and resides in the lower back above the pant line.
In most women, it is very important to shape this area properly in order to create a rounder, more well-defined buttock as well as a curvy feminine silhouette.
A common sign of aging is excess fat and tissue in the upper arm. Liposuction can tone this area, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
A frequently requested area, liposuction of the abdomen (“muffin top”) can result in a tight and toned stomach.
Typically if the lower abdomen is treated, the upper abdomen (the area between the belly button and the ribs) should also be treated in order to create a smooth transition from one to the other.
Generally, I recommend against liposuction of the buttocks because the procedure can result in a deflated or flat-looking appearance.
Liposuction can help keep the inner thighs from touching when standing up straight, which makes this a very popular area for women desiring liposuction.
Commonly referred to as “saddle bags,” the outer thigh is a common problem area for most women.
Liposuction in this area is often challenging because the entire lower leg needs to be reshaped to achieve natural-looking proportions.
This also requires the usage of the tumescent solution to remove fat, which improves both safety and pain management. The last results leave patients using a smooth contour.
SAL is ideal for regions that require the elimination of small amounts of fat such as the neck and chin.
Developed by MicroAire, PAL® is a technology that capitalizes on the additional electricity from a particular, vibrating cannula (or lean tube).
The reciprocating head empowers doctors to more easily and quickly break the suction and down big quantities of fatty tissue.
This technique can be very useful in processes like the Brazilian Butt Lift and cause fewer bruises, and injuries to surrounding tissues.
This also requires the usage of the tumescent solution to remove fat, which improves both safety and pain management.
Ultrasound energy emulsifies the fat cells and can be easily removed with suction. The quality and quantity of the fat cells are much higher producing greater fat transfer (Buttocks/Breasts) results.
It also causes less surrounding tissue injury resulting in less bruising, swelling, and faster recovery.
As the first laser device approved by the FDA for ruining firming and fat skin, Smartlipo® (laser liposuction) is on the frontier of liposuction technology today.
It uses laser energy to liquefy the fat cells and coagulate the blood vessels resulting in less bruising, swelling, and faster recovery. Then, the liquified fat cells are eliminated through suction, or the body will eliminate them through the lymphatic system.
The laser energy also helps with skin tightening by stimulating collagen production.
Smartlipo® is a minimally invasive surgical method that provides the patient with less downtime and more excellent results.
This unique treatment has many benefits. Benefits of HiDef Liposuction include:
This unique treatment has many benefits.
It is more comprehensive than traditional liposuction and can produce results free of any lumps of fat beneath the skin tissue.
Surgeons can remove more fat cells with better fat quality with Hidef lipo than traditional lipo.
Both men and women want to look in the mirror and see well-defined muscles, especially when so much hard work and sweat has gone into building those muscles up.
However, some people are not able to get that constant definition no matter how much they exercise.
The HiDef portion of this smart lipo/vaser lipo treatment allows patients to choose which muscle groups they want to be contoured.
To be clear, this treatment does not build muscles, but it does make the appearance of muscles more obvious.
HiDef Smart lipo & vaser lipo are newer treatments.
Like many other newer treatments, patients can benefit from the reduced invasiveness of the treatments.
They are designed to be less invasive so patients can have less bruising after the treatment and enjoy a quicker recovery time.
Many patients are able to return to most of their daily activities, including exercise way quicker than traditional lipo.
After 2 to 4 weeks, patients are free to resume all normal daily activities.
Patients will be able to notice the results of this treatment in as little as 3 to 6 months, which is when the HiDef results will become most obvious.
There is not any difference in liposuction for people when it concerns the procedure itself. Fat cells are fat cells, no matter where they dwell.
The abs etching technique involves the advanced liposculpture technique which will enhance the look of the abdominal muscle and give the youthful and athletic look and is very popular amongst men and women.
There’s not one flat price for liposuction – it depends on how many areas you want to be treated and how large those areas are. Most liposuction cases range from $8000 to $12,000+.

Lipo 360 (or 360 Lipo) identifies the body areas where liposuction is performed — three hundred and sixty degrees, or all of the way around the waist. That’s all there’s to it!
If a surgical procedure involves lipo to a patient’s belly and shoulders/hips (which reaches approximately to either side of the backbone ), then it is considered Lipo 360°.
Arm liposuction is a restorative surgery for disposing of abundance fat from your upper arms. It includes the wrapping up of a cylinder underneath the skin around the arm for simple evacuation of the abundance fat. The cylinder is associated with a vacuum which guarantees that fat is taken out through attractions. Whenever the fats are disposed of, the specialist will then, at that point, empty out any overabundant blood or liquid. The region treated is then sewed up and your arm will get its tone. Liposuction works quicker than some other arrangement and it generally supports appearance as well as by and large shape.
Liposuction is a corrective technique that can thin and form explicit region of the body by eliminating abundance limited fat stores. In experienced hands, liposuction is a powerful method for reshaping the thighs and assist with holding fat back from getting back to the treated region.
During thigh liposuction, a slender cylinder called a cannula is embedded into a little subtle cut at the treatment region. The specialist utilizes the cylinder to relax fat stores, and afterward drain the fat out of the area. Toward the fulfillment of the methodology, the entry points are shut with stitches.
If you have any desire to dispose of your double chin, then chin lipo is the most ideal choice for you. This surgery has helped large number of patients to work on the presence of their necks and skin. Chin lipo is performed by making a tiny entry point, which is almost vague. It is frequently joined with different methodology in the jaw as well as the neck region to come by astounding outcomes, including neck lift, neck muscle fixing, and jawline increase with a jaw embed.
Are you a good candidate for liposuction? If you want to know whether micro tumescent liposuction with ShineMD Medspa and Liposuction Center will help you achieve your body goals, the best way to know is to schedule a consultation.
Traditional Lipo is a liposuction treatment that uses suction to remove fat from the body and typically required general anesthesia.
The disadvantages of this technique are that it removes large amounts of fat and also causes a significant amount of bruising, swelling, and downtime.
Smart Lipo uses ultrasound technology to break up fat cells into their component parts and then re-absorb them into the body.
Vaser lipo uses ultrasound energy to emulsify the fat cells and cause less surrounding tissue injury, bruising, and swelling thus fast recovery with better quality results.
The HiDef portion of this treatment refers to “high definition”, meaning the goal of this treatment is to give your muscles a chiseled, high definition appearance.
Using a combination of thermal laser energy or ultrasound energy and liposuction.
HiDef can create ridges in your musculature that will make your muscles seem more prominent.
Tumescent anesthesia has been very popular lately due to its safety and efficacy in a liposuction procedure.
With the help of tumescent anesthesia, liposuction can be done with little or no sedation and eliminate the need for general anesthesia.
Tumescent anesthesia is the chosen technique for liposuction performed at ShineMD Medspa and Liposuction Center.
We choose to use this technique because it is known to be the least invasive and safest form of liposuction.
Liposuction under local anesthesia eliminates the risks of general anesthesia and increases overall safety.
The answer is yes!! Dr. Shine is specialized in HiDef Vaser lipo with abs etching.
Yes. At ShineMD Medspa and Liposuction Center, we offer laser-assisted liposuction, also called laser lipolysis, smartlipo.
The best way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation. There are many cases where a tummy tuck may be recommended, but there is a fair amount of gray area and ultimately it will depend on your goals.
In most cases, the deciding factor is the amount of loose skin, though there are other cases like diastasis rectus where liposuction may not be recommended, as it won’t address the underlying problem.
The short answer is yes. Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from your body. Those fat cells don’t come back. However, that doesn’t mean that you are immune to weight gain and can eat whatever you want. You can still gain weight after a procedure – but fat does not “re-generate.”
Weight loss isn’t the main goal of liposuction and should never be used as a replacement for diet and exercise. Fat is not very dense compared to muscle, so the amount of weight lost is slight and can be up to five pounds in extreme cases.
All procedures done at ShineMD Medspa and Liposuction Center are performed under local anesthesia. Using only local anesthesia eliminates the need for general anesthesia.
Many patients are simply scared of “going under”, as they know that there are additional risks associated with general anesthesia (not to mention additional costs).
Being awake (and mildly sedated) during the procedure also requires that surgeons use smaller cannulas rather than the larger cannulas that are used during traditional liposuction.
This results in smaller incisions, less trauma and post-op swelling, and a faster recovery.
While there are some limits to the number of areas that can be done under local anesthesia, the benefits outweigh the limitations for most patients.
Some patients may still see small freckle-like scars as a result of the procedure that will fade over time. Discuss with your surgeon if you tend to develop raised (keloid) scars.
In general, good candidates for a liposuction include:
If you are bothered by excess fat deposits located anywhere on your body that don’t respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you.
The main difference between the two abdominal procedures is as follows: Liposuction removes small fat deposits in the body found on the hips, thighs, bottom, or stomach. A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin, which cannot be fixed with diet and exercise.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
