Abdominal liposuction is a serious cosmetic procedure. Still, it is not as invasive as a tummy tuck. Liposuction requires a shorter recovery period, which is why many patients wonder if they can achieve the results they desire with abdominal liposuction. Abdominal liposuction is extremely effective in eliminating stubborn fat deposits. During a liposuction procedure, a thin instrument called a cannula is inserted into small incisions around the treatment site. The cannula is moved in a back and forth motion, breaking up fat cells and suctioning them from the body.It’s always a good idea to consider alternative treatments that are best suited to your individual needs and cosmetic goals. At Advanced Aesthetics, Dr. Johnson recommends the most appropriate procedure based on his extensive experience and training. Not all patients will benefit from liposuction alone. For instance, a woman who has had multiple children, whose abdominal muscles need to be tightened, and whose skin has become stretched and redundant probably is best suited for a tummy tuck.
Abdominoplasty involves creating a horizontal incision between the hip bones (or extending beyond, depending on your needs). Separated abdominal muscles are tightened, and excess skin is trimmed away. Finally, the incisions are closed, tightening remaining skin. Patients can expect scars of several inches in length, but if you choose an experienced surgeon and take care of the incisions, these scars can fade significantly. Liposuction requires only very small incisions.
Poor skin elasticity is not a concern that can be addressed with liposuction. Tummy tuck surgery is typically more invasive as compared to liposuction. Tummy tuck is generally performed using general anesthesia, whereas liposuction can be performed with local anesthesia when less invasive techniques such as tumescent liposuction are used.
CoolScuplting is a revolutionary, non-surgical body contouring procedure that removes unwanted bulges by freezing the fat until it breaks down, so your body can eliminate it naturally while your skin, muscle, and other tissues stay unharmed and healthy. This procedure is FDA-cleared and comfortable, requiring no downtime. Patients immediately return to their normal activities, including strenuous exercise. Results may be noticeable three weeks after treatment, and final results are seen after one to three months.
Hoe Does the Extra Fat Accumulate? The abdomen remains one of the most problematic areas to tone. A toned stomach brings about some fantastic balance to the rest of your body, with the contours greatly enhancing your look. However, fat tends to accumulate in this region quite often regardless of gender. The other fat imbalances your physique and considerably limits your choice of clothing. With the extra padding, you are no longer in a position to wear those beautiful, close-fitting tops.
Many patients feel tired for a few days while the effects of the anesthesia wear off. Patients will not be able to engage in their usual everyday activities such as driving or light exercise for at least two weeks. Most patients require two weeks before they return to work. Healing is a gradual process, with full recovery potentially taking six weeks or longer.
VASER liposuction is minimally invasive. The procedure uses ultrasound frequency to shake fat cells loose before they are gently removed. Separating the fat cells ensures that the surrounding tissue is left intact, minimizing swelling and bruising, lessening discomfort, and shortening recovery time. This also makes VASER liposuction a great option for fat removal in delicate areas like the arms and back.
4200 to spend, is ok with 2 small scars (1/4 inch) in the lower abdomen and 1 in the belly button and is healthy enough to undergo a light anesthetic, she is a great candidate for liposuction of the abdomen. If you have a wide separation of the stomach muscles, a tummy tuck will pull those together and restore your “internal” girdle. Neither liposuction or noninvasive fat removal will do that. A tummy tuck takes 10-14 days of recovery before you can return to a desk job and 6 weeks before you can lift more than 10 pounds.
