Is "sitting for a long time" making you fat? Things to note after abdominal liposuction

In modern society, many men are engaged in jobs that require long periods of sitting, such as drivers, IT workers, etc. Long periods of sitting not only harm men's waist and neck, but also cause a lot of fat to accumulate in their abdomens. Sometimes, simple abdominal exercises alone cannot consume fat, so many men choose to undergo abdominal liposuction. So, how should we take care of ourselves after the operation?

Postoperative Care

1. Wear an elastic corset or elastic bandage immediately after surgery to reduce hematoma. Wear it for at least 3 to 6 months.

2. For some patients, the bandages will be soaked with exudate on the day of operation. In this case, the patient can put some absorbent items on the local area, and the soaked dressing does not need to be replaced.

3. On the third day after abdominal liposuction, the dressing can be removed and the incision or needle hole can be covered with a Band-Aid.

4. If the skin on the abdomen becomes dry, the patient can apply skin cream.

5. If the skin folds are uneven, you can massage them frequently. This will make the muscles and skin evenly smooth after liposuction. The skin will be smooth in about half a year.

6. You need to rest well for about a week after the operation to reduce postoperative bleeding.

Notes

1. General preparation before abdominal liposuction surgery

That is, disinfection and anesthesia, usually local anesthesia.

2. Making incisions during abdominal liposuction

During the operation, a small incision of 0.5 to 1 cm is made in a hidden area (mons pubis, umbilicus, skin on both sides of the anterior superior iliac spine, and the middle of the buttocks).

3. Negative pressure liposuction

A suction tube is inserted under the skin to suck out the fat.

4. Suturing the incision after abdominal liposuction surgery

The wound is sutured and fixed with pressure, and the operation is completed.
