Liposuction - Abdomen

Have you lost count of the number of sets of sit ups you have been doing at the gym with hardly any change in the layers of fat in your abdomen? Has pregnancy left you with an unappealing abdominal shape? Most men and women across the globe are dissatisfied with one particular part of their body: the abdomen. Easy to put on weight but difficult to lose, thousands of people wake up every day wondering when they will win their battle against the abdominal bulge. Abdominal liposuction provides a way to lose that excess weight in your upper and lower abdomen and allows you to gain a more flattering and appealing body shape.

Both men and women have a tendency to put on weight on their abdomen. While the fat in the male abdomen is more fibrous it requires more effort to remove. In contrast abdominal liposuction for women is easier. Often women find the need for an abdominal liposuction after a pregnancy that has left their abdomen out of shape and flabby. Pregnancy stretches the abdominal muscles and leaves a slight bulge in the lower abdomen. This can be altered with abdominal liposuction as can the bulge left after a cesarean section. Liposuction can be done on men and women of all ages without any risk. In individuals who are quite old and the skin has lost its elasticity there may be some amount of wrinkling after the abdominal liposuction. It is important that you ask your surgeon regarding all aspects of this surgical technique.
