Abdominal skin laxity due to previous abdominal surgeries weight loss can be corrected by Abdominoplasty to obtain a smooth and firm .In this procedure the excess skin and fat from the abdomen are removed to give a good profile.
      
Abdominoplasty is ideal for persons who have lax abdominal skin and excess abdominal fat which does not respond to dieting or exercise. Abdominal muscles weakened by pregnancy or aging can be tightened during the procedure.

Liposuction is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure which removes fat which is resistant to diet and exercise. Liposuction is ideal for oversized hips, buttocks, thighs, abdomen and love handles as well as fat deposits on arms, calves, Knees, above the breasts and under the chin.
      
Liposuction is the procedure that removes excess through a suctioning process with specialized equipment. Conventional liposuction utilizes significant vacuum and mechanical disruption (by the force of moving the cannula) to break up fat lobules, which are then with vacuum. In women, the most frequently treated area with liposuction is outer thighs, followed by abdomen. Men usually have liposuction performed under the chin, around the waist or in the reduction of enlarged male breasts, condition known as Gynaecomastia.By removing unwanted deposits of excess fat; liposuction improves body appearance and smooth irregularities- Body Contouring.
      
After surgery a tight –fitting elastic dressing will be placed over the area, which will help your skin shrink and conform, smoothly to the shape of your under lying tissue .Sometimes, you may be up or around in a day or two after surgery but strenuous activities should be restricted during the first week or two.
      
Remember though, that liposuction is not a substitute for exercise or weight loss. The best candidates are at or near their ideal body weight. But if you have localized areas of fat that exercise and dieting cannot improve, liposuction may be the perfect way to get rid of the fat.
      
POWER ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION:     
This new technique has replaced UAL, due to the patient safety. This advanced method uses the power assisted suction cannula which delivers a standard negative pressure of one atmosphere and has a reciprocating movement which aids in the aspiration of fat .The Operative time, patient trauma and duration of hospital stay is greatly reduced.
      
The Dept of Plastic Surgery at BRS Hospital has installed recently the power Assisted Liposuction unit of Micro- Aire – USA.     
The results can be long lasting provided the person exercises regularly and follows a strict diet pattern. But the individual should have realistic expectation about the results and know the benefits and limitations of liposuction.
