Lipoabdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that combines two treatments: liposuction and abdominoplasty, aimed at improving the shape of the abdomen and achieving a more contoured body. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have both excess skin and localized fat in the abdominal area.
This combination enhances the youthfulness and vitality of the eyes, offering a lifted and natural appearance.
Who is the ideal candidate?
The ideal candidate for lipoabdominoplasty is someone who:
- Has excess skin and fat in the abdomen, particularly after significant weight loss or childbirth.
- Wants to remove excess fat and reshape the abdomen.
- Leads a healthy lifestyle.
- Has realistic expectations and is well-informed about the procedure and recovery time.
Recovery Time
The recovery time for lipoabdominoplasty is longer than that for a mini abdominoplasty:
- Most patients can return to work after 2-3 weeks.
- Swelling and bruising will be present for a few weeks.
- Final results will be visible after 3-6 months.
. Is lipoabdominoplasty painful?
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so no pain is felt during the surgery. Post-operative pain can be managed with medications.
Will I have visible scars?
The incisions are carefully placed and usually follow the bikini lines, making them less visible after healing.
. Are the results permanent?
Yes, the results are long-lasting, but weight gain may affect the outcomes.
Can lipoabdominoplasty be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it can be combined with liposuction, skin tightening treatments, or other body contouring procedures for enhanced results.
