The Art of Definition

High-Definition Liposuction at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa

Skilled plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters offers innovative body sculpting procedures, including high-definition liposculpture (Hi-Def lipo), to help New Orleans patients achieve a more sculpted and defined appearance. Dr. Walters is a global leader in this technique, having trained directly under Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, the inventor of Hi-Definition Liposuction. Although it is often used on the arms, flanks, thighs, waist, buttocks, and back, it is most commonly applied to the abdominal area to achieve slimming results. The VASERlipo® system effectively provides the desired outcome by using ultrasound energy to gently break down the fat cells from the surrounding tissue. After the fat is eliminated, the underlying musculature becomes more noticeable.

As a state-of-the-art procedure at our New Orleans, LA, facility, Hi-Def liposuction can help contour, sculpt, and reshape areas of the body to allow for better definition and exceptional results. Learn more about this procedure by contacting Dr. Jules Walters today to schedule your initial consultation.

The Hi-Def Difference

What Is Hi-Def Lipo?

High-Definition Liposuction—also known as Hi-Def Lipo or HD Lipo—is an advanced body contouring procedure that goes beyond traditional fat removal. Using VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction and meticulous technique, Dr. Jules Walters sculpts the body to highlight natural musculature, delivering leaner, more defined contours. This is not about looking overly “etched” or artificial—it’s about achieving refined, natural-looking definition that enhances your body's anatomy.

At the MODERN, Hi-Def Lipo is often combined with Renuvion skin tightening, allowing for firmer, smoother results with less downtime. Whether part of a Mommy Makeover, tummy tuck, or standalone body contouring plan, Dr. Walters customizes each procedure to align with your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Your Procedure

Hi-Def Lipo Technique

Prior to the start of your Hi-Def liposuction treatment, a local anesthetic is administered in order to numb the treatment area properly. This can also effectively reduce the size of the blood vessels beneath the skin to better control bruising and discomfort. During the actual procedure, the VASER probe is applied over the treatment area and ultrasonic waves are administered, helping to break down the fat tissue. The advanced ultrasound technology also leaves the surrounding area unharmed. With the Hi-Def liposuction procedure, Dr. Walters can precisely remove the fat to reveal the sculpted muscle definition below. Once the treatment is complete, the treatment area may appear slightly red and swollen, but those aftereffects will start fading after a week or two.

Strategic Sculpting

What areas of the body can Hi-Def Lipo address?

Hi-Def Lipo is ideal for sculpting areas where muscle tone exists beneath stubborn fat or loose skin. It can precisely target:

  • Abdomen and waist – To define the core and enhance natural abdominal lines
  • Flanks (love handles) – To streamline the waistline and improve symmetry
  • Chest – Particularly for male chest contouring or gynecomastia treatment
  • Upper and lower back – For a smooth, sculpted silhouette
  • Arms – To highlight definition in the biceps and triceps
  • Thighs – To improve contour

Dr. Walters uses your body’s natural structure as a guide, enhancing definition without over-exaggeration.

Precision, Artistry, Results

What are the benefits of High-Definition Liposuction?

High-Definition Liposuction offers a unique blend of precision and artistry. Benefits include:

  • Enhanced muscle definition with a naturally athletic look
  • Precision sculpting using VASER technology that preserves connective tissue and minimizes trauma
  • Improved skin retraction with Renuvion for tighter, smoother results
  • Customization to your unique body structure and aesthetic goals
  • Reduced downtime compared to more invasive body sculpting options
  • Refined results that elevate—not distort—your natural proportions

At the MODERN, we prioritize harmony and subtle definition, never an overdone or artificial appearance.

Shape Your Potential

Am I a candidate for Hi-Def Lipo?

You may be a good candidate for Hi-Def Lipo if:

  • You are at or near your ideal body weight but struggle with isolated fat pockets
  • You have good skin elasticity or are open to pairing treatment with Renuvion
  • You are in good overall health and don’t smoke
  • You want to refine, not radically alter, your natural muscle tone
  • You understand that this is not a weight loss procedure but a body sculpting enhancement

During your consultation with Dr. Walters, he will evaluate your goals and anatomy to determine whether high-definition liposuction or a combination approach (such as with tummy tuck or skin tightening) is right for you.

It is also important that you stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine in order to help your results last as long as possible. If desired, touch-up appointments may also be available to maintain your newly sculpted physique.
