Visceral and Subcutaneous Fat: Which Can Liposuction Remove?

Статті 18.09.2026 #Vaser liposculpture

Subcutaneous fat lies between skin and muscle; visceral fat lies inside the abdomen around organs.

What matters

Liposuction works only in the subcutaneous layer. A firm abdomen caused by visceral fat cannot be suctioned safely and requires lifestyle and medical management.

How planning works

Tissues, proportions, previous procedures, expectations and long-term stability are assessed.

When to seek consultation

An individual plan is discussed during consultation. Related service: VASER body contouring.

FAQ

Can a photograph provide the answer?
