The abdominal wall consists of skin, subcutaneous fat, abdominal muscles, and peritoneum. When suctioning the subcutaneous fat layer, extreme caution must be exercised to avoid accidental injury to the peritoneum, particularly in cases of loose abdominal wall tissue. Liposuction for waist and abdominal fat removal directly extracts enlarged fat cells, thinning the local fat layer and reducing waist circumference.Since fat cells are removed, the physical basis for weight rebound is eliminated, preventing future weight gain. Between 800-4000ml of abdominal fat can be extracted per session. Results are less noticeable below 800ml, while exceeding 4000ml requires extended recovery time.
Human skin possesses remarkable elasticity. For instance, a first-time mother's significantly enlarged waist circumference typically returns to its pre-pregnancy state within one month postpartum. During liposuction, some small subcutaneous nutrient vessels are damaged, temporarily reducing skin nourishment. The excess skin must retract, and over time, the skin in the treated area will surprisingly achieve a well-balanced firmness.The procedure is best performed under epidural anesthesia, which offers greater safety and thoroughness compared to local anesthesia.
Expert reminder: Although liposuction is considered a minor procedure, inadequate surgical technique can lead to significant complications. Therefore, it is essential to choose a reputable hospital for the surgery.
