Abdominal Liposuction

    

When it comes to an unwanted area of fullness the abdomen is unique.abdominal-liposuction_sub1.jpg

Some of your “spare tire” may be made up of excess fat around your intestines and thus beneath the abdominal muscles. This fat cannot be removed by Liposuction but may be reduced by general weight loss. If, however, your abdominal fullness is mostly or solely caused by fat above the abdominal muscles then it can be removed by Liposuction. You can tell where the excess fat is by pinching the skin. You will be able to pinch the skin and superficial fat. You cannot pinch the fat beneath the abdominal muscles. The goal for Abdominal Liposuction is to reduce the fat above the abdominal muscles to about an inch or less in the pinch test.

 This is a 68 year old, 5”5’, 132 lbs woman who has had 3 children. Her skin is not as supple at her age as it used to be. \r\n\r\nShe is three months after 1000 ml (2 ½ pound) abdominal liposuction. Not surprisingly she has some skin laxity but she fits into her clothes much better.\r\n
 		  

Abdominal Liposuction may be what you are looking for if you have good abdominal skin tone but are troubled by excess abdominal fat. Often this fat does not respond well to exercise or diet. Abdominal Liposuction will improve the contour of your body and improve your self image. Abdominal Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure but is used to reduce the localized areas of fat. We all gain or lose weight in our own pattern. Liposuction changes this pattern permanently. In this way, Liposuction is complimentary to weight control. After Abdominal Liposuction your over all shape is permanently changed since even if you gain weight the fat distributes evenly and does not "go to your abdomen" first. Controlling one's weight will control how much fat you have. Liposuction controls where that fat is distributed.

Sometimes the abdominal skin is loose and sagging. Liposuction alone may still give significant improvement since Liposuction can cause the skin to contract sufficiently in some cases. Recovery is much faster and there is much less scaring after Liposuction as compared to a “tummy tuck.”
