ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION in NYC

Abdominal liposuction, also known as stomach liposuction, removes excess subcutaneous and visceral fat from the abdomen that has proved resistant to stringent workouts and months of dieting. This cosmetic surgery is a popular option for both men and women who want a contoured abdomen and a more proportional body shape. Thanks to the latest advancements in cosmetic surgery, you have the option to undergo abdominal liposuction in NYC.

Dr. Spero Theodorou and Dr. Christopher T Chia are plastic surgeons at bodySCULPT® who have extensive experience in this field. They have delivered exceptional results for their patients by incorporating customized treatment plans.

This is basically a body contouring procedure and not meant for weight loss. This means that plastic surgeons focus on the following primary aspects:

  • target and eliminate hard-to-lose belly fat
  • create a well-shaped, sculpted mid-section
  • provide results that boost your self-confidence

What Exactly Does Minimally Invasive Abdominal Liposuction Entail?

The patient is administered local anesthesia as abdominal liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure. Plastic surgeons focus on removing excess or unwanted fat deposits around the abdominal area by inserting a cannula which is a small, thin tube under the skin. Depending on the technology used, the stubborn fat is selectively targeted using ultrasound-assisted or radiofrequency energy. This makes it easy to vacuum out the melted fat without causing discomfort or pain to the patient.

Techniques Used for Precision-based Stomach Fat Removal

At bodySCULPT®, plastic surgeons rely on two of the most tried and tested techniques for precision-based stomach fat removal:

VASERlipo: This ultrasound-assisted lipo modality is FDA-approved and has demonstrated spectacular results in abdominal contouring. VASERlipo has a specially designed cannula along with a wide array of probes, diameters and groove patterns. When it comes to customized treatment, the device is a forerunner because of its capabilities in targeting pockets of stubborn fat and skin tightening.

BodyTite: It is one of the latest body contouring workstations from InMode. The FDA-cleared BodyTite device uses patented RFAL™ (radiofrequency assisted liposuction) technology that offers multifold advantages. Apart from liquefying subcutaneous fat and coagulating blood vessels, it also tightens the skin for smooth, flawless results.

Our plastic surgeons will discuss and suggest the best suited technique for each patient. This helps ensure a safe, gentle and effective body contouring experience.

Combining Tummy Tuck for Enhanced Aesthetic Results

In certain cases, our plastic surgeons may recommend undergoing tummy tuck or abdominoplasty along with abdominal liposuction. This helps remove excess loose abdominal skin and tighten the stomach muscles for enhanced aesthetic results.

Multifold Benefits of Undergoing Abdominal Liposuction in NYC

  • Minimally invasive procedure: The risk of complications is greatly reduced as this minimally invasive procedure requires only local anesthesia.

  • Reduced surgical trauma: The small incisions made for fat removal heal quickly and without causing much discomfort.

  • Short-time procedure: The technologically advanced workstations used for abdominal liposuction make it easier for plastic surgeons to target and remove fat with ease and precision.

  • Quick recovery: Patients make speedy recovery and are able to get back to work in a relatively short time span.
  • Personalized care and committed follow-up: bodySCULPT® plastic surgeons and staff offer comprehensive care to their patients from the time of visit till recovery. Moreover, regular follow-ups ensure that patients experience a smooth, comfortable healing process.

  • Virtual consultation facility: Patients can take advantage for our new virtual consultation facility. They can consult our plastic surgeons from the comfort of their home or office.

  • Use of 3D simulation technologies: bodySCULPT® helps patients make an informed decision by offering 3D simulation technology that enables them to envision their post body contouring results on screen.

Post-operative Recovery & Scarring

Most patients opting for abdominal liposuction are able to return to work in 48 hours. Whereas, tummy tuck being a more complex procedure may take up to 2 weeks for recovery.

In minimally invasive abdominal liposuction, scarring maybe smaller or hardly visible.

Due to the nature of surgery involved in tummy tuck, the scars may be evident. However, our plastic surgeons will try their best to conceal scars without compromising the aesthetics of the body.

Evaluating the Patient to Determine the Right Approach

There are various factors that determine the candidacy for a patient opting abdomen liposuction or tummy tuck. Apart from age, general health condition and medications, skin laxity, quantity of fat, condition of the stomach muscles and the patient’s expectations are taken into consideration and discussed at length before finalizing on the right procedure. This is done to ensure the best surgical results and minimize complications.
