How to Prepare for Abdominal Liposuction
One to two weeks before your liposuction procedure, you will need to stop taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. We strongly recommend that you quit smoking and avoid nicotine-containing products for at least four weeks before surgery and throughout the entire recovery period. Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of complications. You will need to arrange for someone you trust to drive you home and care for you for the first 24-48 hours for the best results. We also recommend that you prepare your meals ahead of time to prevent taking trips to the store while your body heals.
Abdominal Liposuction Procedure
Before your procedure, we will use the appropriate anesthesia to prepare you. After infiltrating the abdomen with tumescent fluid, a solution that contains saline, epinephrine, and the numbing agent lidocaine, your surgeon will make a small, discrete incision to insert the VASER probe. Tiny bubbles caused by the ultrasonic energy induce a cavitation process that dislodges and emulsifies the fat cells, making them easier to remove. They then use suction to remove fat for a slimmer appearance. If you are receiving VASER Hi-Def liposuction, your surgeon will strategically remove some fat deposits and leave others to create well-defined, natural-looking “six-pack” abs.
About Pro-Nox
We use Pro-Nox, a 50/50 nitrous oxide/oxygen pain reliever and anesthetic that relieves anxiety. It helps you stay awake but relaxed during your treatment, and you can inhale it for comfortable sedation. The safe and well-tolerated analgesic wears off quickly after the procedure so you can resume your daily routine without the lingering side effects of general anesthesia. (3)
Abdominal Liposuction Recovery
VASER liposuction has a shorter recovery time because it is gentler and easier on the body. You can return to your normal routine within a few days and we will provide detailed post-operative instructions to optimize your healing process, however, you should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least three weeks after surgery. It is essential to give your body time to heal properly and ensure optimal results.
Abdominal Liposuction Results
Patients can generally expect a well-defined appearance with enhanced muscle definition and improved body contours after abdominal liposuction. It is important to note that individual results may vary based on factors such as skin elasticity, underlying musculature, natural healing ability, exercise routine, and overall lifestyle. After a VASER abdominal liposuction procedure, you can enjoy a smooth, athletic contour for many years. Many patients also find that their clothes fit better and they feel more confident in their body.
Other Procedures
At Denver Liposuction Specialty Clinic, we understand that every patient has unique goals, which is why we offer a range of body contouring options beyond liposuction.
Tummy Tuck
Weight changes, particularly after pregnancy, can cause excess skin and a weakened core in the abdominal area. A tummy tuck eliminates excess skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles to help you get your old body back. During a tummy tuck, your surgeon will make a discrete horizontal incision along the bikini line that can be easily hidden beneath your clothing. The procedure has long-lasting results and will allow you to enjoy a more slender figure for many years to come.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Using the fat from your abdomen, we can perform a fat transfer to your buttocks to help you achieve volume and emphasize your curves. A BBL allows you to achieve a fuller, more voluptuous buttock appearance, creating an attractive and balanced body contour. By removing excess fat from undesirable areas and transferring it to the buttocks, a BBL helps create more proportionate body contours and a better-defined waistline.
