This is a 34 year old African-Amercian male from Columbus, Ohio who wanted plastic surgery (liposuction) to the abdomen (belly) and the sides (love handles). The plastic surgeon, Dr. Bivik Shah, at the Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery discussed all of the ways to do liposuction. This included Smartlipo ®, VASER ® liposuction, and classic liposuction. He chose classic liposuction, for the tiny micro-incisions, and fast recovery. During the liposuction, the plastic surgeon removed 2500 cc of pure fat, which is about 6 pounds of fat. The pictures are 4 months after surgery, so there is still some swelling after the liposuction and he will continue to get smaller for another 2 months.
