title: [Liposuction of the abdomen].
abstract: The abdomen is a difficult region for liposuction which can be responsible for serious systemic complications and local sequelae, which are difficult to correct. However, spectacular results can also be obtained in the abdomen, provided a very rigorous approach is observed at to each step: indications, technique, postoperative care. In most cases, when well conducted, abdominal liposuction can even avoid abdominoplasty, with all of the risks that it comprises.
