Abdomen Liposuction
The abdomen is renowned for being a difficult area to remove loose skin on abdomen or stubborn areas of unwanted fat. Many patients often try various diets and procedure such as abdominoplasty, and spend hours doing exercise, but are still unable to shift these pockets of fat. Not only does this have a demoralising effect on continuing with the weight loss activities, but it can upset the harmony of the individual's physique.
What is Abdominal Liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical technique that uses negative pressure and a series of tubes to remove unwanted fat. The Liposuction procedure targets areas of fat in the lower abdomen, the upper abdomen, and the flanks.
Abdomen liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the removal of unwanted fat from the abdominal region. The procedure is carried out by making small incisions in the skin through which a thin tube or cannula is inserted. The cannula is then used to suction out the fat from the targeted area. Abdomen liposuction is an effective way to remove stubborn fat that cannot be eliminated through diet or exercise.
It is a procedure that is carried out under general anesthetic and less commonly local anesthetic to remove loose skin on abdomen. Most cases are day procedures, so patients can go home the same day. The incisions are typically 10-15mm and hidden discretely in the lower back and groin. Depending on the volume of fat removed, the procedure can last anywhere between 1-4 hours.
The maximum volume of liposuction permitted is 5 litres. This is due to biochemical changes in the fluid occurring for volumes greater than this.
Liposuction in Dubai is performed in association with a number of energy devices. Dr. Faisal will either use VASER®️ and Microaire ®️ to ensure that the results are smooth and recovery quick
The incisions will be closed with dissolvable sutures and glue
Who Should Undergo this Procedure?
Abdomen liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that is best suited for individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight but are struggling with stubborn pockets of fat in the abdominal area that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure and is not suitable for individuals who are significantly overweight or obese.
Ideal candidates for abdomen liposuction are:
1. Adults who are in good overall health
2. Individuals who have realistic expectations for the results of the procedure
3. Non-smokers or those who are willing to quit smoking prior to the procedure and during the recovery period
4. Individuals with good skin elasticity and muscle tone
5. Individuals who have excess fat in the abdominal area that has not responded to diet and exercise
The abdomen liposuction is not suitable for individuals who have loose or sagging skin in the abdominal area. In these cases, a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty may be a more appropriate procedure.
It is also important to have a consultation with Dr. Faisal an experienced plastic surgeon to discuss your individual needs, goals, and medical history. The surgeon will be able to evaluate your candidacy for the procedure and help you determine if abdomen liposuction is the best option for you.
How to Prepare for the Surgical Procedure?
It is important to adequately prepare before undergoing the procedure to ensure everything goes smoothly and you heal quickly:
1. The most obvious step is doing everything the doctor tells you. You’ll probably need to take some tests to ensure you’re healthy enough for the Liposuction procedure and other tests to help the doctor learn how to effectively go about removing your fat. Because everyone stores fat differently, these tests are necessary.
2. Keep away from extreme temperatures during the week leading up to the operation. Getting the flu or another common sickness will not bode well. Especially if you start coughing all the time. That’s why it is important to keep yourself healthy and immediately contact the doctor if you contract anything.
How Can I Go About Post Operation Care?
Recovery from abdomen liposuction typically takes several weeks. During this time, individuals will need to take special care to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
Some of the steps involved in the recovery process include:
1.Rest and Recovery: Following the procedure, individuals should rest and avoid strenuous activity for several days. They may also experience some discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with pain medication and ice packs.
2.Compression Garment: The compression garment should be worn at all times, except when showering, for the first few weeks following the procedure. This helps to reduce swelling and support the healing process.
3.Follow-up Appointments: Individuals will need to attend follow-up appointments with their surgeon to monitor their progress and ensure proper healing.
4.Diet and Exercise : To maintain the results of abdomen liposuction, individuals should maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly. This can also help to prevent the development of new fat deposits in the treated area.
5.Scarring: Scarring from abdomen liposuction is typically minimal and will fade over time. However, individuals should avoid exposing the scars to direct sunlight until they have fully healed.
Abdomen liposuction is a safe and effective way to remove excess fat from the abdominal area and achieve a more toned and shapely appearance. While there are risks and potential complications associated with the procedure, these can be minimized through proper preparation and post-operative care.
