Liposuction
Removal of localized fat that resists diet and exercise, refining the contour.
IndicationPeople with healthy habits and stable weight who have localized fat deposits that persist.
Body contouring
Body contouring: skin, fat and the abdominal wall call for different corrections
An abdomen that bothers you can have excess skin, localized fat, diastasis, or all three together. The right surgery changes entirely depending on the answer.
01 · Overview
A defined abdomen, in proportion with your body
Techniques to treat localized fat, sagging and body proportions, with individual indication.
Resistant localized fat, in someone with good skin elasticity and a stable weight, is treated with liposuction. Excess skin, with or without separated abdominal muscles, is treated with a tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck.
Confusing these cases is the most common mistake: isolated liposuction in someone with excess skin tends to worsen sagging, because it removes the volume that was filling out the skin envelope without treating the skin itself.
In practice: liposuction treats localised fat; a tummy tuck removes excess skin and corrects diastasis; a mini tummy tuck handles more limited cases; and liposculpture redistributes your own fat to shape the contour. The right combination comes from the clinical exam.

Tummy tuck + liposculpture, with fat grafting to the buttocks
A tummy tuck is the surgery performed to correct diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles and treat abdominal skin sagging in the supra- and infraumbilical regions. During the procedure, liposuction was also performed to remove localized fat, and the aspirated fat was then used as a graft in the gluteal region, aiming to increase volume, improve body contour and correct any irregularities and imperfections in the area.

What's the difference between liposuction and a tummy tuck?
Liposuction treats localized fat in someone with good skin elasticity. A tummy tuck treats excess skin and, when present, diastasis. They are different problems, with different corrections, and often indicated together.
Does liposuction help you lose weight?
No. It's not a treatment for obesity and doesn't replace lifestyle changes. It reshapes contour in someone who already has a stable weight; weight stability is actually a prerequisite.
When is a mini tummy tuck used instead of a full tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck is indicated when excess skin is restricted to the area below the navel. In that case, there is no umbilical repositioning and the scar is smaller. If there is excess above the navel, a full tummy tuck is indicated. Both surgeries correct diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles, when present.
Is HD lipo suitable for everyone?
No. It requires good skin quality, an appropriate fat percentage and a regular training routine. Without those factors the definition doesn't hold and the result tends to be irregular.
Does Renuvion replace skin removal?
No. It improves mild to moderate sagging and enhances the result, but when there is true excess skin, surgical resection remains the indication.
How long do I need to wear a compression garment?
The period is defined by the extent of the procedure, generally a few weeks of continuous use. Compression directly influences the final contour.
Does the fat come back after liposuction?
The removed cells do not return, but the remaining ones can increase in volume with weight gain. Keeping a stable weight is part of the result.
Can I get pregnant after a tummy tuck?
It's possible, but pregnancy tends to undo the abdominal wall correction. If you're planning a pregnancy in the near term, it's usually best to postpone the surgery.
