Are you struggling with stubborn fat around your abdomen that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise? If so, you’re not alone. Many individuals experience localized fat deposits, especially in the abdominal area, which can be frustrating and hard to eliminate. Fortunately, Abdominal Liposuction offers a safe, effective solution to contour the stomach and achieve a slimmer, more toned appearance.
At Iowa Breast Reduction in Coralville, IA, Dr. Kahlil Andrews provides expert liposuction services to help patients enhance their body contours. Whether performed on its own or as part of a simultaneous procedure, abdominal liposuction can help you achieve the body you’ve always desired.
What Is Abdominal Liposuction?
Abdominal liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from the abdomen to improve the shape and appearance of your midsection. This procedure targets areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, offering more permanent results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
During the procedure, Dr. Kahlil Andrews uses a thin tube (cannula) to break up and remove excess fat. The process is minimally invasive, and the fat is suctioned out through small incisions, leaving you with a smoother, more contoured abdomen.

Why Choose Abdominal Liposuction?
Many people experience trouble spots in their abdomen that seem to persist despite consistent workouts and healthy eating habits. Abdominal liposuction can provide targeted fat removal in areas such as:
- The lower abdomen (belly pooch)
- The upper abdomen (love handles or muffin top)
- The sides and flanks (love handles)
- Post-pregnancy fat (mommy tummy)
This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who are at or near their ideal weight but have localized fat pockets that make them feel self-conscious about their appearance.
What Are the Benefits of Abdominal Liposuction?
There are numerous advantages to undergoing abdominal liposuction:
- Targeted Fat Removal: Liposuction can address specific areas of fat, leading to a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
- Improved Body Contours: The procedure can help balance proportions by eliminating excess fat and creating a more defined silhouette.
- Minimally Invasive: With small incisions and a relatively short recovery period, liposuction requires much less downtime than traditional abdominal surgery.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once fat cells are removed, they don’t return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to avoid gaining fat in other areas.
- Boosted Confidence: The improvement in body shape often leads to increased self-esteem and a more positive body image.
Is Abdominal Liposuction Right for You?
If you’re considering abdominal liposuction, it’s essential to be in good overall health. Ideal candidates include those who:
- Are frustrated by localized fat that doesn’t respond to exercise or diet
- Have realistic expectations about the procedure and results
- Are at or near their ideal body weight
- Have good skin elasticity
During your consultation, Dr. Kahlil Andrews will assess your concerns and determine whether you’re a good candidate for abdominal liposuction. He’ll also explain what you can expect during recovery and how the procedure will help you achieve your goals.
Combining Abdominal Liposuction with Other Procedures
For patients looking to enhance multiple areas at once, abdominal liposuction can be combined with other body contouring procedures, such as breast reduction or a tummy tuck, to achieve a more comprehensive transformation. This approach can help save time and provide more dramatic, all-encompassing results.
Dr. Andrews is known for creating personalized treatment plans that address each patient’s unique needs and goals. Whether you’re looking to combine abdominal liposuction with another procedure or focus solely on liposuction, he will design a plan that helps you achieve the results you desire.
What to Expect After Abdominal Liposuction
Abdominal liposuction is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can typically return home the same day. While you’ll experience some swelling and bruising in the treatment area, these side effects generally resolve within a few weeks.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Dr. Andrews will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
