About Abdominal Liposuction

Abdominal Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes unnecessary and often times bothersome fat from the abdomen. Liposuction was developed decades ago and has since been perfected to give you the safe techniques we have today. A liposuction treatment includes small incisions through which a thin tube is inserted.

At the tip of the tube is a suction device. With gentle movements, the tube is used to break up fat cells and suction them from the body. The result is a slimmer, more proportional body. Liposuction treatment areas include love handles, upper arms, below the chin, the back, chest, thighs, banana roll, buttocks, and abdomen. The abdomen is one of the more popular locations to receive liposuction since it often contains the most exercise-resistant fat deposits. It is called subcutaneous fat and is saved by the body to only use as an energy source in extreme situations. This fat is resilient and often resistant to workouts and dieting. Liposuction can quickly remove this fat and allow the muscle definition of the abdomen to show through.

Tumescent Liposuction

Dr. Azar focuses on tried-and-true methods of liposuction that provide the most beautiful, natural results.

We do not use more recent developments such as laser liposuction or ultrasound liposuction because there is not enough information available on the long-term effects these practices have on the body. Instead, we use tumescent fluid alongside our lipo surgery. Tumescent liposuction has an excellent safety record and consistently delivers high-quality results. Tumescent fluid is composed of saline solution, local anesthesia, and adrenaline. When this fluid is administered to the treatment area, it causes the blood vessels to constrict and the whole area to swell. Fat cells become more accessible and because the blood vessels are constricted, there is much less blood loss. Less blood loss allows there to be less bruising and therefore a shorter, more comfortable recovery. Tumescent liposuction is your best, safest liposuction treatment.
