LIPOSCULPTURE ABDOMEN

Liposculpture of the abdomen can bring about a wonderful change in a person's life with increased confidence, improved appearance and better fitting of clothes. It is the most popular area for liposculpture in both women and men. Reduction of fatty deposits in the upper abdomen will decrease the sense of fullness experienced on bending forwards. Reduction of the lower abdominal apron and hips will result in a tighter waist. Patients often remark that they have achieved better posture and experience less back discomfort.

Outcomes are natural in appearance with better clothes fitting as well as enhanced appearance.  Recovery is rapid with the majority of patients returning to work within three days.

Best results are achieved by combining liposculpture of the abdomen with liposculpture of the hips and waist. This 'circumferential' approach will usually result in a reduction of body size and a reduction in clothes size.

In men liposculpture of the 'love handles' results in a tighter waist that leads to better posture.

Lower Abdominal Apron Where a patient has a large lower abdominal apron with a large overhang, it may not be possible to achieve a flat lower abdomen with one Liposculpture.  Most aprons will retract in the first 6 months after liposculpture, however, this can not be guaranteed.  Liposculpture can be repeated 6 to 12 months later. Should the apron persist, the patient may need to consider a repeat liposculpture or surgery to remove the apron.

Age is no barrier   As long as a patient is healthy, age is no barrier.  Patients in their seventies have succesfully undergone liposculpture.

Disadvantages The specific disadvantages of liposculpture to the abdomen are the possibility of persistent skin laxity, the possibility of unevenness and lack of weight loss.  Some  patients find that the skin of their abdomen does not tighten after their liposculpture. If skin tightening does not reach expectation, gentle massage and the use of lasers will usually help. A repeat liposculpture may be required alternatively surgery may be indicated. Some patients become concerned about unevenness. They may notice that one side of their abdomen becomes flatter than the other side, they may also notice some areas that are not smooth, finally, they may notice lumpiness. All of these problems will improve with the passage of time and an exercise program. A repeat liposculpture may be necessary. Some patients become concerned about having lost little weight. Liposculpture of the abdomen does not result in major weight loss. The procedure is designed to improve body shape not weight loss.
