5'3, 130lbs, what is this roll called & can it be liposuctioned? (Photo)

Thank you for your question regarding what this roll is called and if it can be liposuctioned. Your role in your picture is a roll of upper abdominal fat. Even though it is above your belly button, it is still considered the abdomen. To be clear, the stomach is on the inside; the stomach is where your food is digested and at the end of the esophagus. It connects the esophagus to your small intestine. However, the stomach is on the inside, and the abdomen is on the inside and extends from just underneath your breath to your pubic regions and both hips. Therefore this is still considered your abdomen. This area can be liposuctioned, which is the treatment I would recommend for you. You appear to be young and somewhat slender. So therefore, I would assume that liposuction is the best option. If you have rolls of skin elsewhere significantly above the pubic region. You may do better with a tummy tuck. Therefore, I highly suggest you have liposuction in this area if it bothers you. Thank you for your question regarding what this roll is called and if it can be liposuctioned.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Thanks for your question. It's hard to provide a proper evaluation with this picture. I suggest you upload pictures of your front, side and back (in either a bikini or undergarments) for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Your upper abdomen can be liposuctioned to remove excess fat. If there is excess skin in addition to fat you may be a better candidate for a tummy tuck. I've included a video I hope you find helpful. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
