What is Stomach Liposuction?

Stomach liposuction, also known as abdomen liposuction, is an invasive fat-removal procedure. The goal of this procedure is to achieve a more contoured, thinner appearance. Stomach liposuction involves numbing the target area, making incisions in the body, and removing the fat through the incisions. Some procedures use non-traditional approaches, such as using ultrasonic energy to soften the fat before removal, or laser liposuction, which burns the fat before removal. No matter which type of liposuction procedure you choose, all have the same common goal: remove the fat from your body's target area.

The Truth About Stomach Liposuction

For those seeking a smoother, more contoured appearance, especially around their abdomen, stomach liposuction can prove to be tantalizing. This buzzworthy procedure is a household term, and just about everyone seems to have an opinion on stomach liposuction. Celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian, Jamie Lee Curtis, and even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, are the first to boast about liposuction's wonders. However, is this procedure really all it seems? The truth is this: stomach liposuction has some intense disadvantages that many seem to ignore.

Stomach liposuction often involves general anesthesia. Many forget that anesthesia has a laundry list of side effects, including but not limited to dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, twitching muscles, and more. A dangerous yet rare side effect of anesthesia is lidocaine toxicity, a syndrome that causes central nervous system and heart problems. Further, general anesthetics only serve to increase the cost of the procedure. This means that when calculating the price of your fat removal, you also have to factor in hidden fees.

Stomach liposuction is an incredibly invasive procedure. Due to the invasiveness of the process, liposuction candidates will experience trauma in the target areas. Soreness, bruising, and swelling should be expected and anticipated with this abrasive procedure.

Stomach liposuction has extensive downtime. Stomach liposuction is not for those who do not have time to spare in downtime. Due to the abrasiveness of the procedure, candidates should restrict activities until they are fully healed.
