Abdominal Liposuction
Abdominal Liposuction is one of the most common procedures to create a flatter tummy. Dr. Sean Rice is very meticulous with his liposuction technique and follows the natural muscle contours to create a sculpted and highly defined result. Dr. Rice specializes in liposuction body contouring. Liposuction is a minimally invasive technique that removes unwanted fat and improves body contours. Dr. Rice approaches liposuction as an art form to create a wonderfully sculpted body.
Candidates for Abdominal Liposuction
Good candidates for abdominal liposuction have stubborn fat covering their abdominal muscles that can be pinched between the index finger and thumb. It is important to note that our bodies also deposit fat under the muscles, referred to as visceral fat, which cannot be removed by liposuction, and only responds to weight loss. Liposuction is not a substitute for diet and exercise, but can be used as the first step for you weight loss journey. Although you do not lose a significant amount of weight from liposuction, you will often lose several inches off the midsection, making it look like you have lost some weight. This improved look often leads to an improved self-confidence, and serves as a strong motivator to encourage you to maintain your diet/exercise regimen to lose more weight. Improvements in body contour with exercise will be much easier after that stubborn layer of fat is removed with liposuction.
Abdominal Liposuction Procedure
Liposuction can be performed under local or general anesthesia. It is generally performed under general anesthesia when multiple areas are treated at the same time or when liposuction is combined with other procedures. When liposuction is performed under local anesthesia, this is referred to as tumescent anesthesia for liposuction. Liposuction is well tolerated under local anesthesia.
