The abdomen is the area commonly treated by liposuction. Abdominal fats can be resistant to diets or exercise, which is why most men and women request abdominal liposuction for the reason that they wanted flatter tummies. Patients who usually undergo liposuction have already tried different exercises but the abdominal fats just don’t respond well unlike with other parts of the body. Fortunately, the abdomen responds well with abdominal liposuction that patients are most of time happy with the results. The latest breakthrough is the tumescent liposuction. In this type of abdominal liposuction recovery is faster.
With tumescent abdominal liposuction, only local anesthetic is used reducing cost as well as the risks brought about general anesthesia. In this technique trauma to the fat tissue and bleeding is considerably reduced. Because of this, recovery in this type of abdominal liposuction is fast. Patients can go back to work in 3 days or even less.
During the tumescent liposuction, a tumescent solution is spread on the area to be treated for anesthesia. Then, several small incisions are made and it serves as an entry point for the suction. Fat is then suctioned from all possible direction to ensure even and satisfactory results. Immediately after the procedure patient can already walk. Applied on the site treated are dressings and mild compression garment. Compression garments are like hose for the area treated. It helps reduce swelling and offer support. The patients are then given a detailed verbal and written instruction.
The cost of abdominal liposuction depends on several factors including the amount o fat to be removed. The cost of liposuction often includes facility fee, the compression garment used after surgery and all other tests performed before and after the procedure. During your consultation prior to a liposuction treatment, you should ask your cosmetic surgeon not only about the procedure and the after effects but the cost as well.
