Advances in liposuction techniques and technology allow plastic surgeons to reshape the body into a more pleasing contour. 
Some patients benefit from fat transfer from one area to another (for example from the hips and thighs to the buttocks) to achieve better form. Surgeons utilize liposculpture techniques to improve the appearance of cellulite and dimples. In patients who maintain a stable weight, liposuction results can be permanent.
For patients with excess skin in the abdomen and loss of abdominal muscle tone due to pregnancy or weight loss, plastic surgeons perform the abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedure. Tummy tuck outcomes can be improved by incorporating liposuction in order to restore the natural curves of the body. Placement of the scar can be modified based on patients’ fashion preferences.
The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar, which, depending on the extent of the original problem and the surgery required to correct it, can extend from hip to hip.
