Is a reduction of 4 liters of fat sufficient to create a noticeable change?

I'm contemplating undergoing liposuction for my abdomen and flanks next month, during which they plan to remove approximately 4 liters of fat. Based on my photos, would this amount be enough to produce a noticeable improvement in my appearance?

Hello and thanks for your question. Based on your photos, you are not good candidate for liposuction. You have skin excess and a separation in your abdominal muscle (rectus diastasis). Because of this I recommend a tummy tuck for you. In tummy tuck surgery, rectus diastasis can be repaired. Vaser liposuction can be done for your flanks and belt region to get more slimmer belt. In my opinion combination of tummy tuck and vaser liposuction (for flanks and belt region) give a better result for you. Best of lucks.
