Dr. Manuel Torreira – Top Plastic Surgeon in Dominican Republic

Regular liposuction mainly removes fat to slim an area. 4K Liposculpture is a high-definition approach that sculpts with more precision—creating smooth light-and-shadow definition around natural muscle anatomy. The goal is a fit-looking shape without harsh, artificial lines.

Abdominal marking is a detailed sculpting technique that enhances the natural lines of the abdomen. It’s best for patients who are close to their goal weight, have good skin elasticity, and want realistic definition—not an exaggerated “etched” look. Candidacy is confirmed after photos and a medical review.

It can be safe when the right standards are followed: proper medical clearance, an accredited facility, qualified anesthesia, careful surgical planning, and structured post-op monitoring. Safety depends on patient selection and the clinical process—not just the procedure name or destination.

The most requested procedures are 4K Liposculpture, abdominal marking/definition, tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), BBL with proportional shaping, and Mommy Makeover combinations. The best plan depends on your skin quality, anatomy, and goals.

Strong candidates are generally healthy, near a stable goal weight, and have localized fat plus decent skin elasticity. If there’s significant skin laxity, a tummy tuck (or a combined approach) may produce better and safer results. A photo review + medical history is the fastest way to confirm candidacy.

As a general guideline, the best results typically come when you’re close to your goal weight and can maintain a stable weight. 4K Liposculpture is contouring—not a weight-loss solution—so your skin quality, fat distribution, and overall health matter more than a single number. During evaluation, we look at your body composition, elasticity, and medical history to confirm what’s safe and realistic for you.

Most patients benefit from structured aftercare because swelling control is a big part of how cleanly your definition settles. A properly fitted compression garment supports contour, and lymphatic massage may be recommended based on the extent of surgery and your swelling pattern. Your exact schedule should be personalized—too much pressure or incorrect technique can work against healing.

Most patients walk the same day and return to light activity within about a week. Many resume routine work in 7–14 days, depending on the extent of sculpting. Swelling improves steadily; definition becomes clearer over 8–12 weeks, with final refinement often seen by 3–6 months.

Most traveling patients plan 10–15 days for liposculpture and 14–21 days for combination surgeries. The goal is to complete key post-op checks, manage swelling safely, and ensure you’re stable for travel. Your exact stay depends on procedures, healing, and your medical clearance.

Combination surgery is common, but it must be planned responsibly—based on operative time, safety limits, blood work, and your health profile. Sometimes a staged plan is safer and gives cleaner results. A personalized evaluation determines the best approach for your body and goals.
