Can I have liposuction on my belly?

Liposuction can be performed on the abdomen, and this is also a common method of liposuction. The abdomen is the most likely place for fat to accumulate. In particular, many people do not like to exercise, which often leads to excessive subcutaneous fat. At this time, liposuction can be used to achieve the effect of weight loss. When liposuction is performed, it is important to understand the indications. The so-called beer belly is generally not suitable for liposuction. For women, abdominal fat can be appropriately liposuctioned, but it must be performed in a regular hospital.

Can I have liposuction on my belly?

1. Can I get liposuction for my beer belly?

Regarding the question of whether beer bellies can be liposuctioned, it cannot be answered in general terms, because the situations of beer bellies in men and women are different: 1. Men's potbellies and beer bellies cannot be liposuctioned because liposuction or liposuction weight loss surgery mainly targets the middle and upper layers of subcutaneous fat, and the reason why men's potbellies and beer bellies cannot be liposuctioned is that although the belly fat is thick, the fat in men's beer bellies is mostly in the abdominal cavity. After the fat in the abdominal cavity is sucked out, it is easy to cause adhesions between the intestines, liver, and fat, which can easily cause massive bleeding and even endanger life. Therefore, obesity in the waist and abdomen of men cannot generally be solved by liposuction.

2. Women's abdominal fat can be appropriately reduced through liposuction . Unlike men, women's abdominal fat can generally be reduced through liposuction. This is because women's abdominal fat is mainly under the skin and relatively less in the abdominal cavity; while men's waist and abdominal fat is distributed on the greater omentum and mesentery in the abdominal cavity.

The fat in the abdominal cavity cannot be sucked out randomly

During liposuction, the fat in the abdominal cavity cannot be sucked out casually. Because when we exercise normally, we rely on the fat in the abdominal cavity to isolate the intestines and liver, thereby protecting the internal organs. If the fat in the abdominal cavity is sucked out, it is easy for adhesions to form between the intestines, liver, and fat, which can easily cause heavy bleeding and even endanger life.

How to self-diagnose whether you have a beer belly or a general belly

Can you do liposuction if you have too much belly fat? First, you need to understand whether you have developed a beer belly. For example, if a man develops a beer belly or something more serious, he cannot reduce his belly through liposuction. In medicine, the waist-to-hip ratio is used as a measure of abdominal obesity, which is the ratio of waist circumference divided by hip circumference. A value greater than 0.9 is considered to indicate abdominal obesity. The larger the value, the more serious the problem of abdominal obesity and the greater the risk of developing related diseases. You can also judge abdominal obesity by self-measuring the thickness of your abdominal skin folds. The thickness of the skin folds on a normal male abdomen (the measurement point is 1 cm away from the navel on the right abdomen) is 5mm to 15mm. A thickness greater than 15mm is considered obese, and a thickness less than 5mm is considered thin.

Liposuction is not suitable for all obese people

1. People who are too obese are not suitable for liposuction. Liposuction surgery is to shape ideal body curves, but for the sake of physical health and surgical safety, it must be performed under the guidance of a professional doctor. Because the amount of liposuction per person must be controlled within [4000cc], it is incorrect for obese people to expect to become thin after liposuction once. Only by reducing weight in an appropriate way, that is, managing weight effectively and healthily, and then receiving professional liposuction to reshape the body, can the effect be doubled. What is considered as being too obese: Those whose actual weight exceeds the standard weight by more than 25% are considered too obese; those whose actual weight is less than the standard weight by more than 15% are considered too thin. Standard body weight calculation method: Standard body weight (kg) = height - (cm) 110. Percentage calculation method for exceeding and falling below the standard body weight: [actual body weight (kg) - standard body weight (kg)] ÷ standard body weight (kg) × 100%. 2. People who are obese all over are not suitable for liposuction. Liposuction mainly targets deep fat accumulated in certain areas, such as subcutaneous fat in the lower abdomen, waist, buttocks, outer thighs and other places. Liposuction in these areas can help you lose weight quickly and successfully. However, liposuction is not suitable for people with systemic obesity and does not have a significant impact on their body weight.
