Abdominal Liposuction is the most effective solution to help customers get rid of fat around the waist and regain a slimmer, firmer abdomen.

What is Abdominal Liposuction? 

Liposuction plays a special role before the hourglass Abdominoplasty. Most customers who want to attain a slim waist or tighten the hourglass figure must undergo Liposuction (Sometimes, a combination of Liposuction of the waist, thighs, arms, etc.).

The goal of Abdominal Liposuction is to get rid of excess body fat. They not only help achieve harmony and balance with the body by improving the contour and shape of the abdomen, but they also help shape the toned waist in accordance with the desired needs that customers have set.

Abdominal Liposuction most frequently asked questions:

Question 1: Is it true that the more obese you are, the more harmful is Liposuction?

Answer: The success rate of the procedure is relatively high for those with average levels of excess fat. This procedure should not be employed in cases of extreme obesity.

No matter how many times the customer undergoes the procedure, the waistline is not visible if they have obesity syndrome. It is challenging to conduct the surgery since the fat cells have gathered into a tumor the size of an egg. Additionally, if successful, 1 liter of fat will contain 1/3 to 1/4 of blood. The more fat is sucked out, the more blood you'll lose, leading to injury, having fat cells enter the lungs, obstructing the arteries, and even lead to a high risk of death. Consequently, the instance of extreme obesity should not apply this method.

Question 2: Does Liposuction leave scars?

Answer: After Liposuction, customers can rest assured that the scar area will be covered with underwear under the groin, which will not affect the aesthetics. Customers must, however, take the doctor-recommended combination of anti-scarring and anti-inflammatory medications in order to get the desired effects. and allow the scar to scab over.

Question 3: Is Liposuction a painful procedure?

Answer: When the anesthesia wears off after Liposuction, customers will begin to experience discomfort, but after a week, this symptom will gradually disappear.

Question 4: How long must people who underwent Liposuction refrain from having sexual intercourse?

Answer: Although endoscopic Abdominal Liposuction is quick and safe, customers must still adhere to the doctor's postoperative care guidelines.

It is essential to refrain from sexual activity for the first month after Liposuction to ensure health and a stable recovery process.
