Why are most doctors against liposuctioning the upper abdomen? I had my lower abdomen liposuctioned and now my upper abdomen sticks out further than my lower and I have consulted several plastic surgeons that don’t like to liposuction the upper abdomen and seem like they don’t like liposuctioning that area. I’ve have friends tell me the same thing when consulting about their upper abdomen? Why is this?

Answer: Why are most doctors against liposuctioning the upper abdomen? Hello @Teena14, thank you for your question. Liposuction of the upper abdomen can be performed safely and effectively if the surgeon has extensive experience and skill in the technique. As with any cosmetic procedure, a consultation is vital to establishing a surgical plan that meets your needs, meets your expectations, and takes into account what is possible. Best wishes!

Answer: Unless you liposuction the upper and lower abdomen together, it is not done right! You have to liposuction both the upper and lower abdomen together to really get a great result. Half a job is really only half a job. Liposuction under tumescent local with the micro canulas where you are stood up occasionally during the procedure to fine tune the results is by far the only way to go if you want the very best results in Liposculpting.
