Liposuction on belly roll

I hate my stomach roll!  I'm wondering if liposuction is the right way to go to get rid of the fat.

Liposuction (whether traditional liposuction or SmartLipo) should be used for isolated or stubborn areas and not as a generic weight loss technique.

If you can honestly "yes" to the following questions, then I would suggest that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate:

  • Have you made a determined effort to lose the stomach roll through exercise and diet?
  • If you are average height, do you weigh less than 200 pounds? We would be careful to perform liposuction on patients over 200 pounds due to the effects of anesthesia.
  • Are you near your target weight? Liposuction would be possible only if you are not morbidly obese.
