Plastic surgeon says celebrity blogger Perez Hilton had liposuction

Perez Hilton has made a name gossiping about celebrities and now is the subject of some rumors about his new physique. The blogger, who was once overweight, appeared at a recent red carpet event in a two piece suit with no shirt where he showed off his washboard abs, leaving many to wonder if he had liposuction or other cosmetic procedure.

California board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Semira Bayti told Threads online that Hilton has had liposuction on his abdomen to achieve the look of six-pack abs. For this procedure a plastic surgeon will remove excess fat under the skin of the abdomen in strategic areas to give the appearance of sculpted abdominal muscles. This look can be achieved without spending hours in the gym doing sit ups.

Although this abdominal liposculpture can make a person look like they have rock hard abs, the prospective patient must not be obese. Plastic surgeons want their patients to be at a healthy weight that they have been able to keep up for an extended period of time. Liposuction is intended to remove resilient pockets of fat that are hard to eliminate through dieting and regular exercise.

Any person considering liposuction should talk with their plastic surgeon about their expectations. While they may get the results they were looking for maintaining their new look will depend on their ability follow a sensible diet and regular exercise routine.
