Liposuction can Eliminate a Belly Roll if You are Not Obese or Generally Overweight
Liposuction is an excellent method to remove a belly roll, muffin top, or belly fat.
However Liposuction works best on fat deposits on an otherwise fit person or someone who is not Obese or significantly overweight.
If you are very overweight you must first loose weight. When you get close to your desired weight then Liposuction will be more effective at removing your belly roll or belly fat.

A good liposuction candidate is one who has isolated fat deposits that are recalcitrant (resistant) to diet and exercise and is not tremendously overweight.
Patients who have elastic skin and do not have a lot of skin sagging and redundancy are the best candidates.

Is Liposuction THE solution for a "belly roll"
There is NO one universal solution to the dreaded Belly "Roll" / "Pooch" because they are caused by one or a varying combination of factors such as pregnancy, obesity, skin laxity and or resistant fat pockets. Your rolls are totally reversible if they are properly identified and the treatment is customized to your needs.

Liposuction and/or Tummy Tuck or Mini Tummy Tuck Can Help Correct Lower Abdominal Fat Accumulation & Sagging Skin

Most of them have tried diet and exercise and despite this, have been unable to solve their problem. These patients have difficulty finding clothes that fit properly and feel that people stare at them. This results in lowered self-esteem, self-image and self-confidence.

Liposuction in abdominal area
Liposuction could be an option for you, depending upon your weight and the condition of your skin in the abdominal area. If you have had children, most likely you will need a tummy tuck ( abdominoplasty) to correct the problem. Liposuction is body contour surgery, and not weight reduction surgery. Discuss these options with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon ( ASPS) for an understanding of what to expect from surgery.

Liposuction for a belly roll
In general, liposuction is usually very successful for fat reduction particularly over abdominal region. New laser-assisted liposuction procedures offer the hope of some tightening of the skin as well. It's hard to tell what you would best benefit from without seeing you in person. Thus, I'd recommend you consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can recommend a procedure or procedures based on your body type and your goals.

Lipo removes fat but tightens nothing
So lipo might be a good choice as long as you would benefit by none of the tightening aspects of a tummy tuck or just don't want that much surgery. Go to a surgeon who offers both to get the full story.

Liposuction is a great wya to get rid of small rolls of fat in select areas. The abdomen is a great area to have liposuction just as long as you do not need an abdominoplasty.

Belly Roll
If what you mean by belly roll is some excess skin and fat in the abdomen then a tummy tuck with or without liposuction is the procedure of choice.
If on the other hand what you mean by belly roll are ROLLS of Fat and skin on the belly and around to the back then you need to loose weight or in extreme you might be a candidate for gastric bypass or lap band.
