Could I end up with a weird looking abdomen after liposuction for a BBL?

Question

Hello, I am considering to extract some fat from my abdomen for a bbl. I am concerned because a lot of pictures that I see of abdomen lipo even some celebrities such as Tara Reid, en up with a very weird looking stomach. May I know why is that cause? And why other parte of the body when doing lipo, end up looking fine and it seem the stomach it get a the worst lipo results?? Thank you for your time.

Good question. The abdomen is a finicky
area to treat with liposuction because the skin may not retract as you expect,
especially if you have had kids or you are not 20 years old. If the elasticity
is not there, it will dimple and wrinkle only to be fixed with a tummy tuck.
Having said that, if you are young and have good skin elasticity in your
abdomen, then you will do well with a skilled surgeon. Areas like the outer thighs, love handles and back are more forgiving.

I think that the chances of that are very small with an experienced surgeon.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Liposuction of the abdomen can create very nice results, but yes there are cases where some patients may be over treated.
