There are even those who you would consider to be in top physical condition and who have very strong and developed abs who can’t get rid of those pounds around their middle.  It is just such situations that have driven many people to consider stomach liposuction to finally rid themselves of their spare tires.

Stomach liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure wherein fat deposits are removed from the abdomen by sucking them out with small vacuum tubes called cannulas.  Basically a cosmetic surgeon makes small incisions in the stomach and then uses the cannula to vacuum out the fat deposits underneath the skin.  Stomach liposuction is very popular because it gives good results and is very quick, typically taking only a few hours as outpatient surgery. When the procedure is successful the patient comes away with a flatter stomach and improved self-esteem thanks to their improved looks.  It’s not surprising that stomach liposuction is currently the most performed liposuction procedure in the United States.

While stomach liposuction is very safe there are some things to consider when first approaching liposuction surgery.  It is imperative that your surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon with a good reputation for successful stomach liposuction procedures.  You simply cannot be too careful when researching cosmetic surgeons; there are too many reports of poor liposuction that leads to scarring, disfigurement and in some cases death.

Look into your surgeon’s background and make sure there have been no complaints filed against them.  Look for board certified cosmetic surgeons and try to get referrals from past patients.  Find out how much experience the surgeon has had doing stomach liposuctions, the more experience the better as the surgeon will be very used to doing the procedure and will be prepared for most contingencies.  Visit the surgeons’ office and have him give you a tour so you can be sure that his standards of cleanliness are high and his staff is professional.

While your surgeon is responsible for the liposuction procedure, you are responsible for the recovery from your stomach liposuction.  The liposuction surgeon will give you a list of strict instructions after your stomach liposuction and following them without any deviation will mean a quick recovery and successful result.  Make sure you follow all dietary restrictions, the guidelines for physical activity after surgery and the steps to care for your wounds.  During your follow up visits your doctor will be able to tell easily if you haven’t been following their instructions.

If you take the time to choose the proper surgeon, have realistic expectations and follow through with proper post surgical care you will most certainly have a successful stomach liposuction experience.

Simply put, liposculpture is a more developed form of the traditional liposuction procedure.  The liposculpture is done with much smaller cannula’s which allow for much greater control and precision when removing the fat from your body.  It is like sculpting your body anew, hence the name.  Using these smaller instruments also allow for a quicker recovery as it is a less invasive procedure than traditional liposuction.

You’ll find that there are different kinds of Los Angeles liposculpture surgeries performed, and the most popular is the abdominal liposculpture procedure.  Of all the areas on the body, abdominal fat is typically the most resistant to removal by diet and exercise.  It is just not easy for most of us to shrink abdominal fat deposits.

Los Angeles liposculpture surgeons can remove that extra fat.  Once the procedure has been performed, the fat covering the abdominal muscles is reduced and this leads to a much improved look in the midsection.  Some patients will even be able to have the coveted six pack abs after their abdominal liposculpture.  In addition to making you look great, the abdominal liposculpture surgery also has additional health benefits.

We now know that when fat is deposited around the stomach, which is very common for men, a person will start to be at greater risk for numerous health problems.  By removing the abdominal fat, one can easily reduce the risk of diabetes, heart problems, and liver problems.  Typically the liposculpture procedure is quite quick, taking no more than a couple of hours to complete.  In addition, local anesthesia is used rather than a general anesthesia, which means you are at less risk and can usually return to your normal routine within 48 hours.

You should understand that liposculpture is a form of surgery and any surgery will carry risks.  Los Angeles liposculpture is performed to remove fat from your body and is basically done for the purpose of aesthetic appeal.  Naturally we all want to look our best.  By using liposculpture and other cosmetic surgery procedures, you can have your youthful looks back.  When liposculpture is done properly, the risks of scarring is very low.  To make sure the procedure is performed properly you should have the surgery done by an experienced cosmetic surgeon.  This will minimize your risks during the surgery as well as minimizing any risk of complications later.

Below are some of the more common complications that can occur with liposuction. Please be aware of them and bring them up to your doctor before you have liposuction done.

Swelling and Bruising: Swelling is normal and occurs in every liposuction patient. Bruising is also very common, depending on the area. Abdominal liposuction can lead to genital bruising due to the downward movement of the blood from gravity. Compression and massage can help with both bruising and swelling.

Wrinkling: This will vary depending on your skins elasticity. If you’re already prone to stretch marks and skin dimples you can expect to see some degree of dimpling after your liposuction. Again, massage can minimize this. Your Los Angeles liposuction doctor should discuss this with you and can recommend a good post operative massage therapist.

Changes in sensation: This happens to a majority of patients in the area that has been liposuctioned and can be either increased sensitivity (pain) or decreased sensitivity (numbness). In either case massage can help and usually everything goes back to normal within 2-4 months after your surgery.

Muscle spasms: These are very common for liposuction patients and usually disappear quickly.

Pain and discomfort: Another very common symptom after liposuction, it will feel similar to the soreness you experience after working out too hard. Easily managed by pain medications and usually disappears after a couple of weeks.

Fluid collection: This problem is common with Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (UAL), and is when there is a pooling of serum in areas where tissue has been removed. Your Los Angeles liposuction surgeon can remove this fluid through a simple in office procedure.

In addition to the more common post surgery complications above there can sometime be more severe complications such as infection, embolism, perforations, fluid imbalances and risks from anesthesia. All of these are rare, but should still be discussed with your cosmetic surgeon prior to surgery.

Overall, liposuction is a fairly safe and simple procedure. Thousands are performed and if you choose a good plastic surgeon your risks are very minimal. Discuss all of the possible complications with your Los Angeles liposuction doctor prior to surgery and you should feel safe and comfortable.
