FAQ's
What
is an abdomnioplasty?
It is the removal of excess skin and fat
from the middle and lower abdomen and
tightening the muscles of the abdominal
wall.
 What is Liposuction?
Liposuction is the surgical removal of fat from beneath the surface
of the skin.
Where can I get liposuction?
You may be recommended to a surgeon from a friend who has already
had liposuction surgery, a local directory, or see our links
page for surgeons on the Internet.
Are abdomnioplasty
and liposuction surgeries recommended weight loss procedures?
Weight loss surgery alone is not recommended, although combined
with diet, exercise and living healthy, it can provide an important
factor in obtaining and maintaining healthier look.
What are the most
frequently treated areas of the body?
Women's most frequently treated areas are the outer thighs, and
the stomach. In men it is those love handles that they want to reduce.
Can the fat that was
removed grow back?
When fat cells have been removed by liposuction these same cells
do not grow back. Weight gain is the actual enlargement of existing
fat cells, not the creation of new ones. The patients' new silhouette
should be long lasting or permanent following the proper diet and
exercise. If weight is gained it will be distributed more proportionately
over the entire body.
What are the risks
associated with having an abdomnioplasty or liposuction surgery?
There are always certain risks when having any type of surgery.
Both of these surgeries are considered very safe and effective,
with most patients walking away satisfied with their results. Although
complications are uncommon, some may experience infection, bleeding
or nerve damage.
