What To Expect From Abdominal Liposuction

Consultation Pre-Op The Procedure Aftercare & Recovery
Consultation

The first step in the stomach Vaser liposuction process involves a comprehensive consultation with a medical professional. These appointments are an essential step where your medical history, current health status, and treatment goals will be thoroughly discussed.

A Levant Cosmetic Surgery doctor will assess whether you are a suitable candidate for Vaser liposuction and provide a detailed explanation of the procedure, including the potential risks, side effects, and complications. You will also able to discuss all of your questions and address any concerns you have about the treatment.

Pre-Op

Before the procedure, you’ll undergo essential medical checks to ensure you are fit for surgery. Detailed instructions regarding pre-operative care, such as fasting guidelines and medication management, will be provided. Following these pre-surgery instructions is critical for your safety and the success of the procedure.

The Procedure

On the day of your Vaser liposuction surgery, anaesthesia will be administered for your comfort. The procedure involves the use of ultrasound technology to target and liquefy fat cells in the lower and upper abdominal areas. A small incision is made to insert a probe, which aids in the removal of unwanted fat deposits from the stomach.

Undergoing a Vaser lipo procedure on the abdomen can last between an average of one to two hours, the total surgical time will vary based on each individual and if other areas on the body are also being treated.

Aftercare & Recovery

Getting home

You will be required to be collected by a responsible adult to stay with you for the remainder of the day and overnight. Even if you feel normal, your reaction time will be slower after receiving sedation medication.

Aftercare

  • After your procedure, you’ll receive comprehensive post-operative instructions for a smooth transition home.
  • We provide a 24/7 contact number for any post-surgery questions, ensuring you can always reach us.
  • Your post-surgery care will be overseen by your doctor, supported by our dedicated care team.

The Importance Of Choosing A Qualified Doctor

Opting for the least expensive option in cosmetic procedures is never wise. Lower costs may reflect compromises in quality, safety, and the longevity of results, potentially leading to extra expenses for corrective procedures.

Choosing a qualified doctor ensures higher standards of care, safety, and more satisfactory outcomes. Quality and expertise should be prioritised for effective results and patient satisfaction.

Other Areas Vaser Liposuction Targets

Vaser liposuction can be performed on various parts of the body to reduce excess fat. Some commonly treated areas can include:

FAQs

What are the risks of stomach Vaser liposuction?
While it is generally considered safe, potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.
How much fat can you remove in one go?
In Australia, you can safely take out up to five litres of fat in a single liposuction session. If you need more than that, you might need a few extra appointments.
Will my skin be loose after the procedure?
This depends a lot on how your skin is before the surgery. Some people’s skin tightens up nicely afterwards, while others might have a bit of looseness. Your doctor will give you an idea of what to expect based on your skin’s current elasticity.
Will there be scarring?
As with any surgery, scarring is a natural side effect. However, the scars from Vaser liposuction are usually small and can fade over time. As everyone is different, the visibility of the scars once healed will always vary.
Is this procedure okay if I’m obese?
Vaser liposuction isn’t a weight-loss surgery, so it’s not always suitable for people who are obese. However, if you’re looking to remove a lot of fat, we also offer Mega Liposuction, which you can discuss with your doctor during your consultation.
Are there options that don’t involve surgery?
If you’re not considering surgery, we also offer CoolSculpting, which is a non-surgical option to reduce fat in specific areas of the body. It’s only suitable for certain patients and to learn more about this treatment we offer complimentary consultations.
