Liposuction upper abdominal area after 2 pregnancies

Thank you for your inquiry! Liposuction is an option, but an abdominoplasty would correct the muscle that usually separates during pregnancies. We would love to sit down with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options.

Hi Witty245956!
Yes, liposuction to the upper abdomen can be a beneficial option for improving the contour of your abdomen after pregnancies, however, there are important factors to consider in order to choose the treatment plan that will yield the results you are looking for:1. Do you have significant separation of the abdominal muscles after your pregnancies (rectus diastasis)? If so, an abdominoplasty may be required to yield the abdominal contour that you want.2. Is there a reason that you would not consider liposuction to the lower abdomen as well? In most instances, there is usually excess abdominal fat in this region as well that may need to be addressed.
Certainly, a consultation and examination with a qualified surgeon can help to understand your specific aesthetic goals and guide you to the appropriate treatment approach.
Sincerely,
Dr. Smith'

Hello and thank you for your question! Unfortunately we don't have enough information to make a personalized recommendation. In my opinion, liposuction of the abdomen is typically best done to the entire abdomen/flanks area since it is one cohesive unit. We also look at the back as well and may recommend lipo 360 for best results on the entire trunk. Liposuction in general is best for patients of stabe weight with good skin tone (no excess laxity, stretch marks, overhang, which can all potentially worsen after aggressive liposuction). Pregnancy usually stretches the skin and also results in spread of the abdominal/rectus muscles (diastasis). Liposuction can only remove fat and not skin, and cannot fix the position of the muscles in the same way an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can. An in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon will be able to guide you to the appropriate plan for you!
