Lipoabdominoplasty is technique that was pioneered in Brazil.
With a lipoabdominoplasty, the doctor uses internal liposuction first to get rid of the fat. This way, they can get to the tissue easier, which means more control over shape and contouring, a smaller incision, less blood and a shorter recovery time. The surgeon continues with the muscle tightening, performs the tummy tuck and finishes with liposuction to the sides or flanks if necessary.
This is the removal of skin from below the belly button only and includes muscle tightening. It is ideally suitable for men/women with small areas of loose skin or for the removal of stretch marks below the belly button.
