Which Body Parts Are Included in A Full Abdominal Lipo Procedure?

Stomach liposuction, also known as abdominal liposuction, is one of the most common procedures for fat removal in the United States.

Full abdominal liposuction has gained popularity due to its effective fat extraction technique, which can sculpt various areas throughout the midsection.

Find out which parts of the stomach can be targeted for fat removal and how this procedure works to deliver balanced results.

Who Can Undergo Full Abdominal Liposuction?

Liposuction is a suitable option for patients interested in removing small fat deposits from specific areas of their body.

Don't confuse liposuction with a weight-loss procedure. It's specifically designed for patients who want to contour certain body areas by removing stubborn fat.

Additionally, you should have experimented with a healthy lifestyle before considering surgery. Liposuction is best suited for those who have stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to exercise and diet.

Last but not least, patients should be non-smokers and within their healthy weight to safely undergo any form of surgery. 

Which Body Parts Are Treated With Stomach Liposuction?

Every body is unique, so no two treatments will be the same. That said, patients targeting their entire abdomen region with liposuction can expect the following areas to have fat removed:

• Upper Stomach

• Lower Stomach

• Waist/Flanks

• Love Handles

A skilled body contouring surgeon will not remove the maximum amount of fat from each area, but rather aim to achieve an even, natural-looking result throughout the cosmetic unit.

How Does A Full Abdominal Liposuction Work?

For traditional abdominal liposuction, you'll be under general anesthesia. In some cases, like with AirSculpt, the procedure can be done with a local anesthetic.

Once your skin has been numbed, the surgeon will place small incisions around the site of your fat deposits, where the thin cannula is inserted under the skin to remove the fat cells. 

Full abdominal lipo body parts include the abdomen, but certain surgeons sometimes extract fat from the waist to allow for a more refined contour. 

Results You Should Expect

Patients who undergo abdominal liposuction typically achieve a flatter, more defined midsection afterward.

All liposuction results are permanent, provided you maintain your current weight. That's why it's generally recommended that patients undergoing liposuction adopt a healthy lifestyle, as they can lose their results in a matter of months. 

If you gain weight after treatment, areas other than the stomach will tend to grow first. Nonetheless, this can cause your figure to appear disproportionate, even if the belly doesn't appear larger, affecting your results.
