38 year old female 115 pounds and 5 feet tall was concerned about localized fat about the abdominal region. There is also an adherent midline scar from abdominal surgery 4 years prior. She has never been pregnant.
Women can collect fat in the lower abdominal region.
This fat was outside of the abdominal wall. Liposuction was done in Dr. Bermant's office operating room under sedation using the tumescent technique . 400 ccs of fat were removed. Liposuction cannula were used to free the scared skin from the muscle wall. Tissues will continue to evolve for several months.
