## What does it involve?

One of the most common cosmetic procedures is abdominal liposuction, also known as liposculpture. It is a technique for permanently removing fat deposits from the abdomen, allowing the body to be recontoured.

The tendency to accumulate fat in the abdomen may be inherited, and that fat is often especially resistant to diet and exercise. Many patients become discouraged at having lost the pounds they wanted without seeing a flatter abdomen.

In these cases liposuction can successfully trim excess abdominal fat, achieving a flatter, more slender and balanced shape.

## What it corrects

- Resistant fat deposits in the abdomen
- A protruding abdomen with unbalanced proportions
- Hereditary fat that does not respond to diet
- An undefined waist alongside the abdomen
- Flanks with unwanted volume

## Is it for you?

- **Resistant fat**: You have dieted and exercised and your abdomen has not responded as expected.
- **Elastic skin**: Your skin retracts well; if there is marked laxity, an abdominoplasty should be considered.
- **Stable weight**: Your weight is stable and you do not plan further major loss.

Private assessment required · Marked laxity may require abdominoplasty

## FAQ

### Liposuction or abdominoplasty?

If the issue is fat and skin is elastic, liposuction is enough. If excess skin or muscle separation exists, an abdominoplasty gives a better result.

### When can I return to work?

Most patients return to office activity within 5 to 10 days, depending on the extent of the area treated.

### Is the result permanent?

Removed fat cells do not regenerate in that area. Maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving the result.
