The amount of skin, tissue, and fat that can be safely removed during an abdominoplasty depends on individual patient characteristics, including size, weight, skin elasticity, and general health. Typically, the goal of the operation is to remove dry skin and fatty tissue, while maintaining the natural and balanced shape of the stomach.
For most patients, a safe amount to remove is between 2 and 3 kilograms, but this can vary. Patients with larger amounts of dry skin or those who have lost significant weight may be able to have more removed, while patients with less excess skin and fat usually won't need to have as much removed. The most important factor is that the skin and tissue remain healthy and that the patient's safety is not compromised.
In some cases, an open procedure, such as a panniculectomy (removal of excess skin and tissue) may be recommended. Vaš The surgeon will assess your unique situation and discuss the best approach with you.

I have loose skin on my stomach and am wondering if liposuction and skin removal are options. I've never had a flat stomach, even at my lowest weight, so I'm not worried about that.

I am 40 years old and after pregnancy I have fat deposits on my hips. Can liposuction be effective for my problem and is it safe for my age?

Good day! I started to notice fatty deposits around my stomach and waist that didn't disappear even after dieting and exercising. Is liposuction the right option for my problem? I forgot to mention that I am 49 years old.
