ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION

During your consultation, our appropriately qualified health practitioner will assess whether the fat deposits in your stomach are under the muscles. If so, they can’t be treated with fat removal liposuction, and we’ll refer you to a plastic surgeon in that instance. If the fat is above the muscle then liposuction is a viable option. 

As every invasive procedure carries risks, it’s essential to thoroughly investigate all your options to establish if they can address your issues and help you achieve your tummy goals. Chat with our experts to find out if liposuction is the best course of action for your body sculpting goals.

Unfortunately, the lower abdomen can resist the changes usually brought about by a healthy diet and exercise. While the rest of your shape may slim down and tone up, the body fat in the abdomen may stubbornly refuse to respond to your efforts, making even the fittest and active individuals insecure about the appearance of this area. You may think a tummy tuck is your only course of action. However, there are other options available to you that are just as effective and avoid the need for costly surgical procedures. 

Liposuction is less invasive than a tummy tuck and can target the fat deposits above your muscles. Not all types of fat can be treated with liposuction though we can help assess the best course of action in your initial appointment.

After abdominal liposuction, compression garments are typically worn for 3-6 weeks. These garments help to reduce swelling and support the tissues as they heal. It is important to wear the garment as directed by our team.

Wearing it for less time than recommended may not allow for proper healing while wearing it for too long can lead to discomfort. During the first week after surgery, the compression garment should be worn at all times, except when showering. After the first week, you may be able to remove the garment for short periods, but be sure to put it back on as soon as possible. It’s always important to follow your cosmetic doctor’s instructions regarding compression garments. 

One of the things you’ll need to do after having abdominal liposuction is get plenty of rest. During recovery, you should lie down as much as possible and avoid strenuous activity. You may find it difficult to sleep in your usual position, so try lying on your back with a few pillows under your knees. Lying on pillows can help take the pressure off your lower back and make it easier to drift off to sleep. 

If you’re still struggling to get comfortable, try lying on your side with a pillow between your legs. This position can also help to alleviate any pain or discomfort you’re feeling. Whichever position you choose, wear loose-fitting clothing so that you don’t put unnecessary pressure on your incisions. With a little trial and error, you should be able to find a position that allows you to get the rest you need.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the amount of swelling you experience after liposuction will depend on several factors, including the type of procedure you had, the amount of fat removed, and your healing response. However, most people should expect to see some swelling for at least a few weeks after their procedure. In some cases, it may take several months for the swelling to resolve completely. As the swelling goes down, you should see your results revealed. If you have any concerns about the amount of swelling you’re experiencing, be sure to talk to your doctor.

Although liposuction results are typically long-lasting, stomach fat can return after the procedure. It’s important to note that fat cells are permanently removed meaning that the proportions obtained during lipo should be maintained despite weight gain. Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly are important post-liposuction to avoid stomach fat returning.

The tumescent technique involves injecting a large volume of saline solution and local anaesthetic into the treatment area which then becomes numb. This solution helps to swell the fat cells and make them easier to remove. The cosmetic doctor will then make small incisions in the skin and insert a thin tube, known as a cannula, into the fat tissue. The cannula is connected to a suction device, which is used to suck out the fat cells. Tumescent liposuction is considered a safe, effective and minimally-invasive way to achieve long-lasting results.
