What is abdomen liposuction?
Abdomen liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the abdominal area to improve body contour and enhance overall appearance. This procedure involves using a suction technique to eliminate fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Who is a good candidate for abdomen liposuction?
Good candidates for abdomen liposuction are individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but have stubborn fat deposits in the abdominal area. They should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the results. It is not recommended for those who are significantly overweight or have significant skin laxity.
 

How is the procedure performed?
The procedure typically involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which a cannula (a thin tube) is inserted. The cannula is used to break up and suction out the fat deposits. The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the liposuction.
 

What can I expect during recovery?
Recovery times can vary, but most patients can return to work within a week and resume normal activities within a few weeks. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common initially but should subside over time. Wearing a compression garment can help reduce swelling and support the new body contour.

Are the results of abdomen liposuction permanent?
The results can be long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. However, significant weight gain can cause new fat deposits to develop.

What are the risks and complications associated with abdomen liposuction?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and uneven contours. Rare complications can include blood clots and damage to surrounding tissues. It’s essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon.

How much does abdomen liposuction cost?
The cost can vary widely based on the surgeon’s experience, the extent of the procedure, and geographic location. On average, the cost can range from Rs. 1 lac to 3 lacs.

How do I prepare for abdomen liposuction?
Preparation includes a medical evaluation, stopping certain medications that can increase bleeding, and avoiding smoking. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions tailored to your individual needs.

Can abdomen liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes, abdomen liposuction is often combined with other procedures such as tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) or other body contouring surgeries to enhance overall results.
