Abdominal Liposuction
The abdomen is the most frequent part of the body to have liposuction performed for women and men alike. When the majority of people consider liposuction, they want to move belly fat.
Significant factors that have an effect on the outcome of abdominal liposuction include:
* Amount and location of abdominal fat
* History of weight gain and weight loss
* History of pregnancy
* Age and the sex of the patient
Some of the reasons tummy tuck liposuction is sought are:
Prior Pregnancy
Pregnancy causes the abdominal muscles to stretch and the lower abdomen to bulge a certain amount. This curve of the abdominal wall muscles affects the abdominal shape after liposuction. However, most women who have prior pregnancies are extremely pleased with results obtained by liposuction alone, and don’t have need of an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).
C-Section Bulge
The Pfannenstiel incision is the name for the incision across the lower abdomen that is normally made for Caesarian sections, or a hysterectomy. A frequent but adverse outcome of this incision is a protuberance of subcutaneous fat right over the incision. Liposuction can easily fix this frustrating distortion.
Abdominal Liposuction Factors
Location of Abdominal Fat
Most patients have more subcutaneous fat than intestinal fat. Consequently, the majority of patients will see an excellent aesthetic improvement with abdominal liposuction.
Upper abdomen skin may look somewhat wrinkled after liposuction. In older patients with less skin elasticity of the upper abdomen, there is a tendency for the skin to look somewhat wrinkled. However, the lower abdominal skin doesn’t appear to be susceptible to this.
Excessive fat removal from the abdomen can be a big mistake. The objective is not to get rid of large amounts of fat, but instead to create a result that is a cosmetic enhancement and looks natural.
Age
Age of the patient isn’t a significant issue in the success of liposuction. Many of the most satisfied patients are women who are older than 60. In a healthy older woman, liposuction can improve an obese abdomen with slight risk or discomfort.
Gender
Women have softer and less fibrous fat than men, and therefore liposuction on a woman is easier to perform. Even so, men experience gratifying results with liposuction and should not hesitate to request a consultation.
The Old-Fashioned Tummy-Tuck
Tumescent liposuction of the abdomen is so successful that hardly any patients need the more risky tummy-tuck. Patients who are overweight and have a pendulous lower abdomen frequently discover that tumescent liposuction will provide a superior aesthetic outcome than a tummy-tuck.
Post-Operative Healing
Pain after tumescent liposuction of the abdomen normally doesn’t involve any pain medications stronger than acetaminophen (Tylenol). The discomfort is comparable to the muscle soreness and burning experienced after having worked out too much.
