Lipoabdominoplasty is an innovative procedure combining liposuction's fat removal advantages with the aesthetic enhancements of abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck. This procedure aims to sculpt the abdomen by eliminating persistent fat deposits and tightening the abdominal muscles, resulting in a more toned and contoured midsection. By opting for this procedure, individuals can simultaneously address excess fat and sagging skin, leading to a flatter and smoother abdomen.
REVOLUTIONIZING BODY CONTOURING AND TUMMY TUCK RESULTS
When performed by a skilled surgeon, lipoabdominoplasty can produce a natural-looking enhancement, avoiding an exaggerated appearance while achieving a harmonious balance with the overall physique. Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, who are board-certified specialists in this field, have conducted numerous liposuctions and provided top-quality care using the latest technology. They strongly believe in the transformative potential of lipoabdominoplasty, establishing a reputation for exceptional outcomes and high patient satisfaction in Northern Virginia, catering to both local and out-of-town patients.
WHAT IS LIPOABDOMINOPLASTY?
Lipoabdominoplasty is an advanced surgical technique tailored to sculpt the abdominal area. It effectively combines liposuction with abdominoplasty to optimize body contouring, refining the abdominal shape by eliminating excess fat and skin while tightening muscles. Lipoabdominoplasty offers a more comprehensive approach than traditional abdominoplasty, including liposuction to remove fatty deposits from the abdomen, the waist, and surrounding areas.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIPOABDOMINOPLASTY?
Lipoabdominoplasty may be a suitable choice if you seek to enhance the contour and shape of your abdomen. However, it is important to note that this intricate surgery may not be appropriate for everyone.
Crucial considerations include the following:
- Overall Health: It is important to be in good physical health without chronic medical conditions that could impede healing or increase the risks associated with surgery.
- Weight Stability: Ideal candidates maintain a stable weight close to their desired goal, as significant weight fluctuations could impact the results.
- Nonsmoking: Given that smoking can impede the healing process, nonsmokers are preferred candidates.
- Realistic Expectations: Having a clear understanding of the achievable results is crucial for ensuring satisfaction after the procedure.
A thorough consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons is essential to determine whether you are an ideal candidate. Drs. Sundin will evaluate your medical history, current physical condition, and aesthetic objectives to ensure that lipoabdominoplasty is a safe and suitable option for you.
LIPOABDOMINOPLASTY PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY
In Richmond, we have developed an innovative procedure known as LITTLE Lipoabdominoplasty, which can transform your body without the need for general anesthesia. To ensure comfort and safety, we provide a range of sedation and anesthesia options, including conscious sedation, awake local anesthesia, and general anesthesia.
Here's what you should know about LITTLE Lipoabdominoplasty:
- Many patients can undergo LITTLE Lipoabdominoplasty as an outpatient procedure, allowing them to return home on the same day and resume work after a long weekend with minimal recovery time. This minimally invasive procedure involves small incisions and instruments, resulting in a recovery period of approximately 48-72 hours.
- LITTLE Lipoabdominoplasty targets problem areas using only local tumescent anesthetic and anti-anxiety medication, allowing you to remain awake and comfortable throughout the procedure. The treatment is carried out by board-certified plastic surgeons at the Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery, ensuring expertise and personalized care.
- LITTLE Lipoabdominoplasty can be combined with other body contouring techniques and provides a more comfortable experience with a shorter recovery period than traditional liposuction. Drs. Burton and Reps Sundin specialize in this procedure, prioritizing safety and effectiveness.
The procedure involves mild oral sedation and the use of a local tumescent anesthetic to numb the area and facilitate fat removal. A thin, hollow tube known as a cannula is used to break up and remove fat cells, and external radiofrequency treatments are utilized to reduce swelling and tighten the skin for optimal results.
