It depends on what you mean by a beer belly. If you have a protuberant abdomen with minimal fat between your skin and the underlying muscle you meet the usual definition of a beer belly and are not a good candidate for liposuction, because liposuction can only access subcutaneous fat - not the "visceral" fat inside your abdominal cavity. This internal fat can only be reduced by weight loss.
Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
That depends on whether or not the fat that you have is in front of your abdominal muscles or behind your abdominal muscles. If it is front, then maybe. If it is behind then no you are not. See a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for an evaluation and examination to be certain. Getting more than one opinion can help too.
It really depends on the kind of beer gut you have! A lot of fat....Lipo might help..But a lot of liver!....not so much...As stated, a consult with a qualified Plastic Surgeon in your area will help you determine that.....
Thanks for your question. Without a picture it is hard to know the right answer to this question. If on exam your fat is intraabdominal below the muscle then liposuction would be a poor choice for you. A board certified plastic surgeon could ascertain that for you. Good luck
Thank you for the question. If your “beer gut” consists of adipose tissue below the muscle lay your of your abdomen is not accessible to liposuction cannulas. If the adipose tissue is located in the subcutaneous layer below the skin then it is possible that liposuction will help. Ideally, the overlying skin elasticity will allow for the skin to bounce back after the procedure. We generally lose some skin elasticity as we age above the age of 40. I would suggest in person consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
As expressed by other respondents, the bottom line for you is whether or not your fat is just deep to the skin which is treatable by liposuction or whether it is situated internally within your abdominal cavity which is not treatable by liposuction. The way to reduce intra-abdominal fat is by weight loss. You need to be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon who can provide you with an appropriate answer and recommendations.
As previously stared by the other expert posters, best to see if your condition is subcutaneous fat vs intra abdominal fat or both. Seek 3 opinions from boarded PSs in your area.
When I think of a beer belly I think of a belly with a large amount of intra-abdominal fat. In those with a large amount of intra abdominal fat, liposuction is not a great option.
Often thos men with "beer guts" do not have alot of subcutanoeus fat but have more of an intraperitonea( deep to the muscle) component which is not amenable to liposuction.
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you're postop care is not being managed as carefully as it should be; It may be in your best interest to see your plastic surgeon earlier than scheduled for evaluation and recommendations. Request this follow-up appointment. Online...
The fat rolls to which you refer to on the back of your head are not likely to be improved by liposuction. While there may be some fat component to them, much of them is composed of skin. While fat may be affecting the rest of your body, your excessive weight is not the cause of the rolls...
Hello, Without photos, it is difficult to answer. In general you should see some results by 4 weeks, but it all depends on how much swelling and bruising you had to begin with. We tell our Santa Rosa liposuction patients that they should wait a full 3 months before evaluating. ...
