What is Abdominal Fat? 

Stomach fat (at times also referred to as belly fat), is the excess fat that accumulates around the midsection of the body – on both the lower abdomen and upper abdomen. Fat on the stomach can feel malleable and superficial, sitting just under the skin, this is called subcutaneous fat which is suitable for treatment with Vaser lipo. If the fat is deeper surrounding your internal organs, this is called visceral fat and it is unable to be treated with liposuction.

What Causes Stomach Fat? 

The accumulation of fat on the lower and upper abdomen can be attributed to various factors including:

  • Genetics
  • Diet
  • Lifestyle
  • Age

Eating high-calorie, low-nutrition foods, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, and hormonal changes are common contributors to the development of excess abdominal fat.

How to Reduce of Stomach Fat

Reducing fat in the lower and upper abdomen often involves a combination of regular exercise, particularly cardiovascular and strength training exercises, and a balanced diet. It’s also important to manage stress levels and get adequate sleep as these lifestyle factors can also influence weight gain. However, if you’ve attempted a diet and lifestyle change, have had your hormones/stress levels checked, and are still unable to get rid of your stomach fat, you might be a suitable candidate for Vaser liposuction. 

About Abdominal Liposuction

Abdominal liposuction is a cosmetic procedure designed to target and remove stubborn stomach fat using Vaser liposuction. This surgical technique uses ultrasound technology to liquefy unwanted fat in the treatment area before these excess fat cells are removed via suction. Suitable candidates have the option to discuss combining abdominal liposuction with other areas of concern, including flanks liposuction, arm liposuction, or thigh liposuction during the consultation process with the doctor.

Stomach Liposuction FAQs

How to get rid of stomach fat quickly?
Quick fixes are often not sustainable or healthy. The safest and most effective way to lose belly fat is through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. However, for those who struggle with stubborn fat, Vaser liposuction could be considered.
What causes excess stomach fat in females?
In females, factors like hormonal changes (especially during menopause), genetics, lifestyle, and diet play significant roles in the accumulation of abdominal fat.
Is stomach liposuction safe?
Like any surgical procedure, Vaser liposuction carries risks. It's crucial to discuss these with a qualified healthcare professional to understand if the procedure is safe and suitable for your specific health and body type.
Am I a suitable candidate for stomach liposuction?
Suitability for abdominal liposuction varies depending on individual factors such as overall health, body type, and medical history. Consultation with a specialised doctor is necessary for a personalised assessment.
How much fat can liposuction remove?
In Australia, there's a maximum limit of five litres of fat that can be safely removed in one liposuction procedure. If more fat needs to be addressed, multiple sessions may be required, which can be discussed during your consultations.
Is Vaser liposuction suitable for obese individuals?
Vaser liposuction is not intended for treating obesity; it is not a weight loss surgery. However, we do offer Mega Liposuction for those looking to remove a significant amount of fat.
Are there non-surgical alternatives for abdominal fat removal?
For non-surgical fat reduction on the stomach, we provide CoolSculpting treatments, suitable for specific areas of the body. These procedures offer a non-invasive alternative to surgery.
