The abdomen is the most common area of the human body where liposuction is performed, both in women and men. The key factors that influence the success of abdominal liposuction include the amount of fat, history of weight loss or gain, pregnancy history, and the age of the individual. 

Two small incisions are made in appropriate areas of the abdomen, through which a thin cannula is inserted. Using laser or ultrasound, the fat is liquefied. At the same time, the production of collagen is stimulated by activating fibroblasts, resulting in skin tightening in the treated area. Finally, the fat is suctioned out with a special cannula, achieving the desired outcome. Before the procedure, you will need to stop any medications that increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin and oral contraceptives. Postoperatively, pain is very mild and can be managed with simple painkillers. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few hours, with only bruising remaining, which usually disappears within two weeks. Wearing a special compression garment for about two weeks significantly reduces swelling in the area. You may shower after a few days, but avoid exercise for approximately one month.

Results are visible almost immediately. The skin’s appearance and the body contour will gradually improve until the final result becomes apparent within around 3 months. A major advantage of liposuction is that its results are permanent—fat cells are completely destroyed, which significantly reduces their number. 

If the patient requires both a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and liposuction, the procedures can be performed either in sequence (starting with liposuction and then a tummy tuck) or the other way around, depending on the case.
