A very common plastic surgery procedure is tummy or abdominal liposuction. This is a technique used for re-contouring the abdominal region and waistline. Many people accumulate fat in their abdomen and waist, and this fat is especially resistant to diet and exercise. Patients often feel low self-esteem and self-consciousness because of their excessive body fat. Abdominal liposuction can successfully trim excess fat in the abdomen for a flatter belly or a thinner waistline, achieving a more slender shape. For patients with significant skin damage and laxity issues, a lipoabdominoplasty or abdominoplasty procedure will be more beneficial.

Men and women who work out and take care of their bodies often find that the abdominal region is one of the most difficult areas to “tame.” Even if the abdomen has well-defined muscles, it can be covered with fat. The solution is a specialized form of liposuction, “six pack” abdominal liposuction, or abdominal etching. Abdominal etching can be performed separately or in conjunction with traditional abdominal liposuction. Dr. Agha is a board certified plastic surgeon, who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
