Dr. Li Qiang
The thickness of abdominal fat can be measured by pinching the skin with the hand, which directly determines the fat layer thickness. Alternatively, ultrasound tomography can also be used for assessment. Abdominal liposuction involves using a device to suction out fat from the abdomen, thereby improving abdominal obesity. After undergoing abdominal liposuction, it is necessary to wear compression garments for a period of time to aid shaping and recovery.
