Lipoabdominoplasty focuses on removing excess fat while tightening the abdominal area using smaller incisions and less extensive tissue disruption.The lipoabdominoplasty treatment is designed for individuals who want noticeable improvement without undergoing a full, extensive abdominoplasty.

The Lipoabdominoplasty treatment process - Step-by-step guidance

At Elyzee Hospital, the lipoabdominoplasty treatment follows a structured and patient-focused approach:

Step 1 - Pre-procedure guidelines

Before MILA surgery, you go through a comprehensive evaluation, including a complete medical history, body contouring analysis, and laboratory or imaging tests. After evaluations, the surgeon will provide a detailed surgical plan. Follow these pre-procedure guidelines, 

• Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to surgery
• Take only medications that have been approved or prescribed by your care team
• Stop smoking for the period recommended before the procedure
• Avoid alcohol in the days before surgery
• Follow all fasting instructions carefully as directed
• Arrange for a trusted person to accompany you and assist you at home post-surgery
• Bathe or shower the evening before your scheduled procedure

Step 2 -  Anesthesia

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure you are fully comfortable throughout.

Step 3 - Liposuction

Surgeon targets the abdomen, flanks, and waist through precise liposuction. Using a thin, hollow cannula, small incisions are made to remove excess fat, providing an ideal sculpting before the skin-tightening phase. 

Step 4 - Minimally invasive abdominoplasty

Surgeons make discreet incisions, tighten loose abdominal skin, and repair the underlying muscles. In a few cases, the navel is repositioned to maintain a natural appearance. 

Step 5 - Closure

Incisions are closed with absorbable sutures, and a compression garment is fitted to support healing and help shape the final contour.

Procedure duration:

Approximately 2 to 3 hours

Hospital stay:

Typically outpatient or one-night admission, depending on individual circumstances

• Weeks 4–6:The compression garment is typically worn for around 4 weeks.
