People of all ages and genders consider their abdomen a “trouble spot.” It’s one of the most difficult parts of the body to sculpt, and the body can quickly build on a deposit of fat there. It may be aggravating, but it is unfortunately how the human body is equipped to survive. Abdominal fat acts as a fuel store and insulates and protects our internal organs. This was essential when we were living in caves, but the conveniences of modern life have made this more of an inconvenience than an evolutionary asset. But it’s more than an inconvenience. In fact, large amounts of fat around the abdomen is an indicator of the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. (1)

Before your liposuction procedure:
Making sure that your body is in prime condition before your surgery will ensure that your procedure and recovery go smoothly. You will need to discontinue certain medications and supplements and quit smoking several weeks before your procedure. Make sure to get plenty of rest and be well-hydrated the night before.
When you arrive for your liposuction, a few things will happen before Dr. Abramson begins:
Dr. Abramson will make small incisions that will allow him to access the areas where liposuction will be performed. He’ll then inject the areas with tumescent fluid. This fluid prevents excessive bleeding, delivers a long-lasting numbing effect, and allows the fat to be removed more easily. Once this solution has taken effect, Dr. Abramson will slide the long, slender tube of the cannula into the incision to begin sucking the fat away, and sculpting your new abdomen. Once he’s achieved a flat, smooth effect and the contours you’ve agreed on, your abdomen will be dressed with bandages and a compression garment, and your recovery will begin.
One of the advantages of tumescent liposuction is its extended numbing effect, so you should continue to be numb for the rest of the day after your procedure. In the days that follow, you’ll be able to take a pain medication that Dr. Abramson prescribes, along with your antibiotics, to relieve any discomfort. You’ll return to Dr. Abramson’s offices for follow-up appointments so that he can monitor your progress and examine how your incisions are healing. It’s normal to experience bruising and swelling after your procedure, but this will improve as you continue to recover. Movement will become easier, and you will be able to return to a sedentary job or other activities in about a week.ersonal consultation, Dr. Abramson will be able to give you an accurate estimate for your procedure. Financing options are available. Our staff is ready to answer any questions, and arrange your consultation.
