Abdominal Liposuction
Removes excess fat from the abdomen, sculpting a flatter, more contoured waistline.
What it is
Abdominal liposuction removes excess fat from the tummy and waist using a thin tube called a cannula. It aims to improve the contour of the abdomen in areas that resist diet and exercise.
Who it’s for
- Adults with stubborn abdominal fat despite a healthy lifestyle
- People close to a stable, healthy weight
- Those with good skin elasticity and without much loose skin
- People in good general health with realistic expectations
How it’s done
-
Step 01
The procedure is usually done under general anaesthesia, or local anaesthesia with sedation.
-
Step 02
The areas to treat are marked before surgery.
-
Step 03
A fluid is injected to reduce bleeding and discomfort.
-
Step 04
A cannula is moved through small incisions to remove fat evenly.
-
Step 05
Incisions are closed or dressed and a compression garment is worn.
Recovery time
Most people return to desk work in about 1–2 weeks, with a compression garment usually worn for several weeks. Your surgeon will advise based on your assessment.
Results
The abdomen may look flatter as swelling settles over about 3–6 months. Liposuction does not tighten loose skin or muscle, and results depend on maintaining a stable weight.
Results vary from person to person.
