Will my stomach be flat after liposuction?

Question

After the surgery is completed someone stomach would be kind of flat or somewhat flat even though he has some type belly fat visible from wearing his cloth? After the surgery your supposed to wear a compression or surgery garment, but how long will you wear this garment for?

Eugene Kim, MD · Answer

An in-person examination is really necessary to be able to determine
if the stomach will be flat afterwards because sometimes people have a bulging
belly not necessarily from fat but from a diastasis (muscle separation).The amount of time for wearing the garment is
highly dependent on your surgeon and his/her preference.I typically like to leave a compression
garment on for a month.

If you want a flat stomach immediately , VASER HI DEF can do that if you are the right candidate. It all depends on what your starting point is.  If you have a muscles underneith and tight skin you can get defined and shaped immediately.  This type of procedure can reduce size and tighten skin right away in the right patient.  Standard traditional approaches leave the area swollen for a long time and even then its hard to know the end result.  I suggest seeing an expert to see what you are a candidate for.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello dear, thanks for your question. Without picures is hard to tell if you are going to have a flat tummy or if you need a tummy tuck. liposuction slims and reshpaes specifics areas of your body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion. I suggest to make an appointment with a Bpard Certified Plastic Surgeon for a person evalaution and see what procedures is better for you. The time of using of the compression garment will depend on your surgeon as each doctor has their own protocol. After liposuction I recommend my patients to wear the compression garment for 6 months. Good luck :)

How flat your stomach is after liposuction is a function of your anatomy and the skill of your surgeon.  How long the compression garment is worn is a function of your surgeons post op protocol.  So see some experts and be evaluated and get informedDr Corbin
