We all struggle with stubborn belly fat, and it can be really frustrating. Sometimes, no matter how much you diet and exercise, it just doesn’t seem to go away. But the good news is that you can now achieve a slimmer and well-shaped abdomen with abdominal liposuction. Factors such as aging, genetics, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, weight gain, poor diet, and stress can contribute to a “belly pooch” or a protruding tummy in women. Abdominal liposuction in NYC removes the excess fat and skin around the abdomen area and provides women with a slimmer, well-contoured abdomen. Plastic surgeons perform abdomen laser liposuction using the minimally invasive, laser-assisted Smartlipo Triplex lipolysis device.
With this FDA-approved workstation, the procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis. The device utilizes three laser wavelengths (1440nm, 1320 nm, and 1064 nm) to liquefy the fat cells and tighten the skin simultaneously safely and effectively. Its three intelligent delivery systems SmartSense™, ThermaView™, and ThermaGuide™, deliver the laser energy in the right proportion for precise body contouring and optimal skin tightening, while preventing overtreatment. A key advantage of this procedure is that the laser coagulates the small blood vessels to minimize bleeding.
Who Can Undergo Abdominal Liposuction in NYC?
Though abdominal laser liposuction is a minimally invasive contouring treatment, you need to be a good candidate to benefit from it. An ideal candidate for Smartlipo liposuction of the abdomen would meet the above-listed criteria.
Who Is Not a Good Candidate for Abdominal Liposuction?
You may not be a candidate for liposuction if you have any of the following conditions:
- Your skin is not very elastic.
- You are unfit or have health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.
- You’re overweight.
- You worry too much about the complications or risks.
The Procedure
The procedure begins with the surgeon marking the site and numbing it with local anesthesia. The small cannula of the device is then inserted under the skin through a small incision and laser energy is delivered to target the excess fat cells, causing them to liquefy. This liquefied fat is then suctioned out. Unlike traditional liposuction surgery, this procedure involves only minimal bleeding, swelling, bruising, scarring, pain, and discomfort.
Recovery from abdominal laser liposuction is quick and most patients are back to their normal activities in 24-48 hours. Some minor swelling and bruising can be expected, which will subside in a few days. To speed up the recovery process, patients need to take extra care and follow their surgeon’s instructions diligently. Candidates can expect to see initial results within 2 weeks and final results with optimal skin tightening effects within 6 months.
The benefits of abdomen liposuction are visible right away, but they become much more prominent over the course of a few weeks as the swelling goes down. After the treatment, the improved abdomen contour is usually fully visible three to six months later. After abdominal liposuction, the fat is permanently gone. However, it is not a weight loss solution, so gaining weight may make the fat cells in other parts of the body grow larger. Therefore, for long-term effects, adopting a healthy lifestyle is essential.
