Stubborn belly fat can be especially difficult to eliminate, even with consistent diet and exercise, leading many individuals to consider stomach liposuction as a way to achieve a more sculpted midsection. At our cosmetic surgery center in Springfield, MO, patients seek this procedure to address various concerns, such as a persistent “pooch,” post-pregnancy changes, or uneven body contours that affect confidence and clothing fit.
Using advanced VASER technology, our team offers a precise and minimally invasive approach that targets fat while preserving surrounding tissues, allowing for smoother results and improved definition. For those who feel their efforts have plateaued, stomach liposuction provides an opportunity to refine their silhouette and restore self-assurance.
Consultation for stomach liposuction typically begins with a detailed discussion of medical history, lifestyle, and specific body areas of concern. Our board-certified specialist, Dr. Bailey, evaluates abdominal contours and assesses skin tone and fat distribution to determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Patients are often advised to avoid certain medications, including blood thinners, to reduce the risk of complications during surgery. Preoperative instructions may also include recommendations on nutrition, hydration, and maintaining a stable weight. Clear guidance is provided to ensure readiness for the procedure and to support optimal surgical planning.
Arm liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in the upper arms that are resistant to diet and exercise. The procedure uses small incisions to remove excess fat and improve arm contour, creating a slimmer and more toned appearance. It is commonly sought by individuals looking to refine the shape of their upper arms for a balanced overall look.
The cost of stomach liposuction in Springfield ranges from $4,000 to $8,000, depending on the extent of the procedure and the specific treatment areas. Bailey Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Centre offers a variety of payment options to help patients manage the investment in their cosmetic goals. Final pricing is determined during the consultation based on individual needs and the surgical plan.
Patients can support a smoother recovery by carefully following postoperative instructions, such as wearing a compression garment, taking prescribed pain medication as needed, and avoiding strenuous exercise until cleared by Dr. Bailey. Gentle movement and short walks can help reduce swelling and prevent blood clots, while attending follow-up appointments ensures proper monitoring of the healing process.
Stomach liposuction is generally recommended for patients who are close to their normal weight rather than those with significant excess body weight. The procedure is most effective for refining specific areas and removing stubborn fat that does not respond to diet or exercise, rather than serving as a primary weight loss method. Our medspa offers medical weight loss programs for patients who need to shed extra pounds.
Selecting a board-certified specialist ensures that the doctor has undergone extensive training and met rigorous standards in cosmetic surgery. Dr. Bailey is a board-certified specialist in cosmetic surgery and vein care, providing patients with professionalism, precision, and a focus on safety and natural-looking results.
VASER liposuction is designed to target specific areas with precision, using ultrasound energy to break up fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues. This can make it more effective than power-assisted liposuction in sculpting detailed contours and achieving smoother results in areas that require careful shaping.
