This is a 32 year old woman with a BMI of 24 who underwent mid-body liposuction using ultrasound assisted liposuction.  She had borne one child and had a few stretch marks over her anterior abdomen.  Typically, such patients are better candidates for an abdominoplasty, but this woman's skin elasticity was fairly intact and her abominal wall muscles had not been overly stretched by the pregnancy either.  She very much wished to avoid any scarring over her abdomen.  She and I were both willing to accept a minor amount of skin looseness and so after much discussion, I proceeded with ultrasound

This 25 year old woman with a preoperative BMI of 31.8 underwent abdominoplasty along with circumferential liposuction.  This procedure treats the trunk or mid-section of the body as one unit all the way around.  I believe that this method results in a more harmonious result than treating just the front with an abdominoplasty or just the back with liposuction.  

This case depicts a 34 year old man who was concerned with the appearance of excess fat above his buttocks.

In both men and women, this area is sometimes referred to as "the love handles," and it is especially responsive to liposuction.  I tend to use ultrasound assisted liposuction in this area because it allows me to remove fat more evenly and more thoroughly.  The incisions are easy to hide in most swimwear and the results can have a profound effect upon the male physique.

This case depicts a 45 year old woman who had concerns with excess fat above the buttocks.

This area was deeply out of proportion with the rest of her trunk and negatively affected the way that her clothing fit.  In both men and women, this area is often referred to as the "love handles."

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction was utilized to harmonize the appearance of the lower back with that of the remainder of her torso. The post-operative photographs depict this woman's appearance approximately three months after surgery.
        

This case depicts a 33 year old woman who had concerns with excess fat above the buttocks, around the waist in the back and around the bra area. Liposuction in the back has been greatly facilitated in my practice with the advent of ultrasound assisted liposuction.

This specialized method of liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to break up fat cells so that they may be removed more thoroughly and more evenlly.

This case depicts a 41 year old woman who had borne one child via c-section. Because her skin had remained relatively undamaged by the distensing effects of pregnancy, she elected to undergo abdominal recontouring by liposuction, A previous pregnancy does not indicate that an individual is not a candidate for liposuction of the abdomen.

This case depicts a 33 year old woman who was fit, slender and had never been pregnant. She had, however, a genetic tendency to accumulate fat in the mid-body- front and back. Because she had excellent skin tone and skin elasticity, this type of individual was the optimal candidate for liposuction.

This case depicts a 51 year old woman who was delivered of two children by c-section. Both her abdominal skin and abdominal wall had been stretched during her pregnancy, giving her abdomen a less taught appearance. These post-partum changes are not typically response to diet or exercise.
