Abdominal liposuction is the most common liposuction procedure among both men and women. Liposuction is a contouring procedure that will slim the abdominal area and remove fat that has deposited around the middle. The results of abdominal liposuction reveal the hidden bone and muscle structure that was previously covered by fat. There are many reasons to consider abdominal liposuction, and each individual’s procedure will be tailored to their own needs and desires. However, here are some of the most common reasons why patients come to The Kole Plastic Surgery Center for their abdominal liposuction procedure:
- Post-Pregnancy: While women tend to loose baby fat quickly after pregnancy, there is often some fat deposited around the lower stomach that does not disappear. Even women who have always had flat stomachs find themselves with a post-pregnancy bulge that they wish to get rid of. Abdominal liposuction is a great option for women who have excess fat deposited around the lower stomach, but who do not have major muscle stretching or excess skin after pregnancy. Additionally, women who have had a C-section sometimes get a bulge of subcutaneous fat above the incision that is impossible to diet or exercise away. Liposuction easily addresses that problem.
- Weight Loss: For people who have poured their time and energy into losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle, remaining fat can be discouraging and annoying. Fat around the abdomen is difficult to get rid of, so people who have lost a great deal of weight can still have fat deposits around the abdomen that cover the muscle structure that they have been building through exercise. Liposuction removes fat from that targeted area and reveals a slimmer, muscular abdomen.
- Genetics: Genetics play a large role in how the human body ages, and the places that a person will collect excess fat as the years go by are in part determined by the ways in which their parents store fat. Women who want to avoid the bulge under their skirts that their mothers have, or men who do not wish to grow the same beer belly that their fathers have are good candidates for liposuction. The shape of your parent’s body is a good indicator of how you will age, and is also a good predictor of where you will be able to lose weight or not. So if you want to loose excess fat in places you are genetically prone to deposit excess fat, liposuction is a great option.
