Liposuction & Abdominoplasty
Liposuction consultation mainly addresses localized fat in areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs, while abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) targets abdominal skin laxity, stretch marks, and muscle separation by removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles. Fat removed through liposuction can also be processed and used for autologous fat grafting to areas such as the buttocks.
Possible Consultation Areas
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) consultation
- Abdominal liposuction
- Arm liposuction
- Thigh liposuction
- Buttock fat grafting consultation
- Body contour consultation
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Technique
Abdominoplasty removes loose, stretch-marked skin and tightens the abdominal muscles to improve the abdominal contour. Some techniques use a subcuticular (buried) suture that does not require stitch removal; the exact incision placement and suturing method should be determined by the doctor based on the condition of the abdominal skin.
Arm Liposuction
Arm liposuction targets fat buildup on the inner upper arm to refine its shape by removing excess fat. A compression sleeve is typically worn afterward to help reduce swelling and support the new contour; the treatment area and outcome vary by individual skin elasticity and fat distribution.
Thigh Liposuction & Buttock Fat Grafting
Inner and outer thigh liposuction is often combined with buttock fat grafting — fat removed from the thighs is processed and re-injected into the buttocks, refining the thigh line while adding buttock volume. Fat graft survival varies by individual, and the specific plan should be determined by the doctor's evaluation.
Fat graft survival varies by individual, and liposuction may require compression garments, swelling care, bruise management, and skin tightness care. Suitability and possible treatment areas must be determined by doctors.
