Liposuction is an effective procedure for removal of stubborn fat from different areas of the body and it is most commonly used in the abdominal area to remove belly fat. Liposuction is the best procedure for removal of subcutaneous fat that lies beneath your belly skin and on top of the abdominal muscles. The procedure will contour your tummy but not help you lose any significant amount of weight. If you wish to flatten and tone your belly, liposuction is usually combined with another procedure like abdominoplasty which removes excessive fat and skin.
