Do you think 5 liters of fat removal will give me a small stomach? (Photo)

How flat the abdomen will be will depend upon how much fat is removed from the area as well as how you heal.  Liposuction will not improve the skin, but it can create a dramatic improvement in the way a person looks. It will not alter the underlying musculoskeletal anatomy or help with any amount of significant laxity. Plenty of conditions stem from environmental and lifestyle factors; they may interact with your genes, but the external factors are the real trigger.The board certified plastic surgeon you select should be capable of liposuctioning a great deal of fat for a dramatic result while keeping the liposuction precisely tuned to create a smooth result that does not look done, rippled, dented, or deformed.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thanks for your question. You have excess fat and skin in the abdomen as well as laxity of your abdominal wall.  These are best addressed through Tummy Tuck with liposuction to adjacent regions.Tummy tuck, also know as abdominoplasty, is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and to restore the weakened abdominal wall, giving a firmer and smoother appearance. We nearly always add liposuction to our tummy tucks to sculpt the body 360 degrees to achieve an ideal feminine figure. 
Both are very powerful techniques in the right hands, and can have dramatic results if done correctly. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in these procedures.

Liposuction suctions out fat but it doesn’t tighten muscle or skin. When evaluating your tummy one wants to assess the quality of the skin, tummy muscle and fat. Patients who have loose tummy skin may develop significant wrinkling if they undergo liposuction alone. If you have slightly loose skin you may be a a candidate for liposuction with j plasma. J Plasma is an exciting new technology that uses radio frequency to tighten skin (Please see the j Plasma videos on our page). If you have a lot of excess skin with poochy muscles you may need a skin tightening operation as well I.e. a tummy tuck. (Please see the Malibu tummy tuck video on our page). There are different techniques when performing liposuction. I’m very excited about a new high tech device called the Vibrastat. Please see the Vibrastat video on our page. You would need a physical exam by a board certified plastic surgeon in order to determine what’s best for you. I hope you find this information useful. Please watch the enclosed video.
