Abdominal Liposuction In Hyannis & Plymouth Massachusetts
Liposuction of the Abdomen is a very different procedure when compared to an abdominoplasty (also known as a Tummy Tuck). Liposuction is the surgical removal of localized fat deposits in the abdomen. It does not include the removal of excess skin.
In some cases, we recommend a combination of abdominal liposuction with a Tummy Tuck for more dramatic results. Our offices also offer BodyTite, a minimally-invasive alternative to traditional liposuction. Figuring out what treatment or treatment plan is right for your body is as simple as setting up a consultation with one of our Board-Certified plastic surgeons.
What Are My Options For Abdominal Body Contouring?
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty, is frequently referred to as a Tummy Tuck. It is the surgical process of removing excess fat and skin. This procedure is frequently combined with other treatments. For example, some patients might receive abdominoplasty as one part of a mommy makeover. Other patients might combine abdominoplasty with abdominal liposuction or liposuction around other areas of the body.
Abdominal Liposcution
Abdominal liposuction is a common body contouring treatment that is recommended for patients who are within 30% of their ideal weight and who have good muscle tone and skin elasticity. Because liposuction only removes fat and not fat and skin, it is sometimes combined with an abdominoplasty for patients who have excess skin. Liposuction can also be done around other areas of the body.
BodyTite
Traditional liposuction is a surgical procedure that is done in a hospital setting. However, new technology like BodyTite allow us to perform a minimally invasive liposuction treatment in our facilities. BodyTite is a radiofrequency assisted liposuction treatment that has less downtime and leaves minimal scars if any.
Non-Surgical Contouring
We provide a variety of non-surgical treatment options as well. While the most dramatic results tend to come from surgical procedures, non-surgical procedures are extremely effective in making small but noticeable adjustments. Some procedures that fit within this category include CoolSculpting & EMSCULPT.

What's The Difference Between Liposuction & Abdominoplasty
Liposuction of the abdomen does not reduce or eliminate stretch marks on the abdomen. If an abdominoplasty patient has stretch marks on her abdomen and they happen to be in the area that is removed, then the patient receives a secondary benefit from the abdominoplasty.
Our surgeons, Dr. Jones and Dr. Loffredo, have both completed cosmetic surgery fellowships in body contouring and have a very special interest in liposuction and abdominoplasty. Liposuction alone is often an ideal surgery for recontouring the abdomen, other times it is combined with a full abdominoplasty.
Post-Care For Abdominal Liposuction
Liposuction of the abdomen surgery does not usually result in much post-operative discomfort, although Dr. Loffredo and Dr. Jones will still provide these patients with a strong narcotic post-operatively.
Our surgeons require that all liposuction of the abdomen patients take two weeks week off from work.*
