"Three-dimensional tumescent liposculpture" of the abdomen, waist, and flanks.
Treating the entire area as a cosmetic unit is the best approach to tumescent liposculpture of the abdomen, waist, and flanks. This "Three-Dimensional Tumescent Liposculpture" procedure is performed under tumescent local anesthesia with optional intraoperative external ultrasound. Areas treated are the abdomen, waist, flanks, and infrascapular fat pad if indicated. Postoperatively, patients show a flatter abdomen, a smaller and better-defined waist (the "Cook waist"), reduction of unsightly bulges, and a smoother, better proportioned and more attractive overall contour. Patient recovery is rapid with minimal complications.
