Liposuction of the abdomen and flanks is suitable for people who wish to eliminate localized fat deposits and improve their body contour. This procedure is not a weight-loss method, but a reshaping solution for difficult areas that do not respond to diet and physical exercise.
Liposuction involves inserting fine cannulas through small incisions in the skin to suction out excess fat from the abdomen and flanks. The procedure is performed with precise movements, in order to achieve a harmonious and natural contour. The suctioned fat is removed permanently, and the skin can gradually adapt to the new body shape.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the volume of fat and the patient’s preferences. The duration of the procedure is on average 1 to 3 hours, varying according to the complexity of the case.
Relative rest and wearing a compression garment are recommended to support the tissues and reduce edema. Bruising and moderate discomfort may occur, which can be managed with appropriate medication.
Most patients can resume light activities, avoiding intense physical effort. Swelling and bruising begin to diminish gradually.
A significant improvement in the appearance of the treated areas is noticed, and the patient can return to normal activities, including moderate physical exercise, according to the doctor’s instructions.
The final results generally become visible after 3-6 months, when the skin has fully adapted and the inflammation has resolved.
The risks are minimized through careful preoperative assessment, precise surgical technique and rigorous postoperative monitoring.
The volume of fat that can be extracted depends on the patient’s general condition and the doctor’s recommendations, but it is generally limited to avoid complications and to maintain an optimal recovery.
Skin elasticity varies from patient to patient. If the skin is sufficiently elastic, it will adapt after the reduction in volume. If the skin is very lax, an additional procedure may be necessary to correct it.
Light exercise can be resumed after approximately 1-2 weeks, and more intense effort after approximately 4 weeks, depending on individual progress and the doctor’s recommendations.
Liposuction permanently eliminates the fat cells from the treated areas, but maintaining your weight through a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent the accumulation of fat in other areas.
