I have read about a trade-marked procedure called a "high definition tummy tuck" performed by a specific surgeon. From what I have read, the technique is intended to create a sculpted, muscular appearance rather than a flat tummy. Do other surgeons perform similar techniques, or is this limited to one physician only?
Answer: High Definition Tummy Tuck.. Be Careful
Dear Jackie: OK so I’m going to do something that I hate when other people do…I’ll tell you about my experience with only one patient I have seen after having a HD TT done elsewhere. Keep in mind that I do TT/Lipo in combo all the time so I am not against the principle, but this patient had so much fat removed that every little bump and even muscle strand was visible through her skin. It looked horrible and there was nothing I could do to fix it. A Reverse TT might help a little but….not good.

Answer: High definition tummy tuck? High definition tummy tuck is simply a procedure in which a tummy tuck and liposuction are combined. I always combine liposuction of the flanks and abdomen as an essential part of a tummy tuck. I also perform triple plication of the abdominal fascia to accentuate the waist. A full consultation is necessary before undergoing abdominoplasty. From El Paso...

Answer: Do Many Surgeons Perform High Definition Tummy Tucks?
Nothing new here but a "marketing" ploy. Look for the surgeon not the ads. Read all the previous expert posters stating the same thing.

Answer: Do Plastic Surgeons Perform "High Definition" Tummy Tucks?
I agree with Dr. Peterson and Dr. Reynolds that this trademarked procedure is about marketing. Any form of advertising that suggests that this particular plastic surgeon has a procedure that only he/she knows and one that is better than all others is highly suspect. I recommend you go elsewhere. An experienced plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery will provide you with an abdominoplasty that gives the highest definition your body can have.

Answer: Tummy Tucks
This is just a clever phrase for what is already practiced by most board certified plastic surgeons. Combining liposuction to some degree with a tummy tuck is common place. To what degree and how aggressive it is performed is up to the individual surgeon. However, always be aware that there are limits to everything and this is no exception. The more liposuction a surgeon does in the direct are of the tummy tuck will definitely lead to a higher rate of complications. Be more concerned about the training and experience of a surgeon than the clever phrases used to describe the procedure. Do your research and ask your friends and pick a board certified plastic surgeon.
