Abdomen Liposuction

A flat abdomen is one of the most important elements of a beautiful silhouette.

Abdominal liposuction can be performed in two scenarios:

• First: even with a fat surplus, abdominal liposuction can facilitate sports practice, leading to further weight loss and recovery of a natural, harmonious sporty silhouette.
• Second: with normal weight and an active lifestyle, localised fat deposits (lipomeres) in the abdomen can be permanently removed through liposuction.

It is very important to note that only subcutaneous fat can be liposuctioned, never deep (visceral) fat which is inaccessible to liposuction and can only be eliminated through diet.

Abdominal liposuction is a re-sculpting of the abdominal walls to achieve the most attractive abdomen possible.

Dr Weiss uses lipo-vibro-sculpture which permanently and harmoniously removes these fat surpluses for a sporty, natural-looking abdomen. This method achieves precise sculpting with very rare occurrence of surface irregularities.

Abdominal liposculpture lasts on average one hour and is performed under general anaesthesia as outpatient surgery.

Post-operatively, pain is rare; rather, a sensation of having been bruised and tension similar to muscle soreness.

The disappearance of abdominal fat surplus is permanent. This procedure is rarely performed alone.

In men, it is often combined with flank liposuction to eliminate the "spare tyre" that begins appearing from age 40.

In women, it is most often combined with other liposuction procedures in the lower half of the body.

The best candidates are those with fat excess without skin surplus. The most difficult candidates are those with significant skin excess combined with fat surplus.

Abdominal skin has good retraction capacity, especially in men, and can very frequently replace a hypothetical abdominoplasty, especially if the patient adopts good diet and exercise habits post-procedure.
