What is considered the upper abdomen for liposuction?

Anyone who offers the stomach as separate areas you should be very weary about.  The abdomen needs to be shaped and sculpted even if the lower or upper have pockets of fat that need to be removed.  It is very rare that I ever treat a single area on the stomach as it is more about shaping and contouring than just fat reduction.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Liposuction is never done on only the upper or only the lower abdomen. The full abdomen is from just under the breasts to just above the pubis area .

The upper abdomen typically refers to the area between the ribcage and the belly button. It's a common target area for liposuction procedures to remove excess fat and contour the abdominal region. Liposuction in this area can help achieve a flatter, more defined appearance. However, it's essential to consult with a skilled plastic surgeon to determine if liposuction is the right option for your specific goals and concerns.

The upper abdomen is usually the area above the umbilicus.  That said, treating one area in isolation will generally produce uneveness, asymmetry and an overall odd look.  The full abdomen needs to be treated to properly blend things in together and prevent sharp contrasts.  Best wishes.

Some of the more "corporate" liposuction clinics separate the upper and lower abdomen for marketing purposes.  I have never treated just the "upper" or "lower" abdomen in my surgical practice.  Seek multiple consultations before selecting your surgeon.  Make sure to include a Board-certified Plastic Surgeon.All the Best.
