Abdomen liposuction, also known as stomach liposuction, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from the abdominal area, improving the contour and appearance of the body. This procedure is often sought by patients who have stubborn fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. It is a popular form of liposuction due to its effectiveness in targeting the abdomen area.
How is abdomen liposuction performed?
During abdomen liposuction, Dr. Meegan Gruber will make small incisions in the lower abdomen to remove excess fat. The procedure may involve power-assisted liposuction, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, or laser-assisted liposuction to contour the area further. Liposuction is performed using a cannula to suction fat from specific areas of the body. It can be performed under general anesthesia or awake with local anesthesia, depending on the patient's preference and the extent of the surgery.
Can I have an Awake Abdomen Surgery:
Yes, Dr. Meegan Gruber can perform awake abdomen liposuction using local anesthesia, allowing you to remain awake but comfortable throughout the procedure. This approach can be ideal for patients seeking a less invasive option. Awake liposuction doesn’t require the use of general anesthesia and offers a shorter recovery time.

Is abdomen liposuction right for me?
Abdomen liposuction may be ideal if you have excess fat on your abdomen that has not responded to diet and exercise. A consultation with Dr. Gruber will help determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure and the best approach for your specific needs. Stomach liposuction is not a weight loss solution but a body contouring procedure.
Can abdomen liposuction be done with other procedures?
Yes, abdomen liposuction can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as a Tummy Tuck, Arm Lift, Thigh Lift, Breast Lift, Lower Body Lift, and Upper Body Lift surgery to achieve comprehensive body contouring. These combinations can address multiple areas of the body to remove excess skin and fat, resulting in a more harmonious appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Gruber will discuss the types of body contouring procedures that may be suitable for you, ensuring that you achieve your aesthetic goals.
