Lipoabdominoplasty
What is Lipoabdominoplasty?
Lipoabdominoplasty is a modern cosmetic surgery that combines liposuction (fat removal) with abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). It removes stubborn fat, tightens abdominal muscles, and gets rid of excess skin, giving a flatter, more toned stomach.
Who is a candidate for Lipoabdominoplasty?
* People with stubborn belly fat that does not improve with diet or exercise.
* Individuals with loose or hanging abdominal skin after pregnancy or major weight loss.
* Those who want both fat reduction and skin tightening in one surgery.
How is the procedure done?
* Step 1: Liposuction removes extra fat from the abdomen and surrounding areas.
* Step 2: The surgeon tightens weakened abdominal muscles.
* Step 3: Excess skin is removed and the tummy is reshaped.
What are the benefits of Lipoabdominoplasty?
* Flatter, firmer, and more toned abdomen.
* Removal of both fat and loose skin at the same time.
* Improved body contour and confidence.
* Less tension on the skin compared to traditional tummy tuck, which means safer healing.
Is the procedure safe?
* When performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, it is generally safe.
* Like all surgeries, risks include infection, fluid collection, scarring, or delayed healing.
Proper patient selection and post-surgery care reduce risks significantly.
How long is the recovery period?
* Most patients can resume light activities within 2 weeks.
* Full recovery, including exercise and heavy lifting, usually takes 4–6 weeks.
* A special compression garment is often recommended to support healing.
Will there be scars?
* Yes, but the incision is usually made low on the abdomen (bikini line area) so that scars are less visible.
* Scars fade over time with proper care.
Are the results permanent?
* Results are long-lasting if patients maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
* Pregnancy or significant weight changes may affect the results.
Why choose a qualified plastic surgeon?
* Expertise ensures natural-looking results with minimal risks.
* Proper techniques provide both safety and long-term satisfaction.
* Patients achieve a smoother, flatter, and more confident body shape.
In summary: Lipoabdominoplasty is an advanced surgery that combines fat removal and tummy tuck in one procedure. It’s a safe and effective option for those who want a flat, toned stomach and long-lasting confidence.
