Thank you for your question regarding your abdomen and love handles. Based on your pictures, I would suggest VASER HI-DEF liposuction of the abdomen. I believe your results would be spectacular! When considering your intra-abdominal wall, you and your chosen plastic surgeon need to decide how much definition you want to your inta-abdominal wall. Some women request just the fat to be removed. Some women request a small line in the middle; this is the upper portion of the linea alba. Some request more definition on the lateral border of the rectus muscle; this would create 3 vertical lines. Other female patients request even more definition to create a 6-pack. Either way, I believe you will get excellent results with whatever definition you decide on your abdomen. When you are seeking AB etching procedure make sure your chosen plastic surgeon is using the VASER. VASER hi DEF abdominal sculpting or etching is a technically difficult procedure. Your plastic surgeon must know his abdominal wall anatomy. When seeking initial or revision VASER HI-DEF abdominal etching, please seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the VASER HI-DEF procedure. Not all plastic surgeons own a VASER machine and most plastic surgeons do not perform the VASER HI-DEF procedure. Do your research. Make sure your selected plastic surgeon has performed at least 100 VASER HI-DEF abdominal etching surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. If you cannot find an experienced, VASER HI-DEF plastic surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling, if you must. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.
