WHAT IS ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION?
Abdominal liposuction is an advanced cosmetic procedure to quickly remove excess fat in the abdomen area from the body. This method is often applied when other conventional fat reduction methods are not effective or for those who need to lose fat quickly.
WHEN WILL WE RECOVER AND BECOME BEAUTIFUL AFTER ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION?
The recovery process after undergoing abdominal liposuction depends on each person’s health condition and the cosmetic facility. Surely, the recovery process of each customer patient will also be different. But there are still a few exceptions, such as at Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital – we use High-tech Lipo Ultrasound Liposuction technology without invasiveness to the body so that the incision can be healed just a few days later.
Generally, after abdominal liposuction, the recovery process can be specifically explained through the following stages:
About 1-3 days later, during this time, you will know whether the abdominal liposuction is safe or not. The shape of the abdomen has basically improved greatly – but the wound has not yet completely healed. Therefore, you should rest as well as mind your movements. Strong shocks should be avoided. You also need to limit bathing and prevent water from getting into the wound area.
If you do not do research in advance, you may get confused when you encounter symptoms such as swollen skin, fluid, and numbness in the surgical areas. Worry not, because that is just a normal reaction of the body after undergoing surgery. These symptoms will quickly disappear after a few days.
After 5-7 days, the abdomen may still be slightly swollen, but the feeling of numbness has subsided a lot. According to Dr. Park Sung Yong (Doctor Korean – working at Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital), during this time, it is necessary to continue to wear a latex corset so as not to lose the shape of the abdomen. At first, when you are not used to it, you may feel discomfort, but when your stomach gradually gets into the form, everything will become normal.
After 10-20 days, you can almost return to normal activities. The feeling of pain and numbness has disappeared and the abdomen shape becomes sharper. You must not forget your doctor’s follow-up appointment. This is very important in helping you get the best liposuction result as well as ensuring your health.
After 1-3 months, congratulations – because you have almost achieved the body shape you want. Now you can confidently show off your attractive and healthy body!

HOW TO REDUCE SWELLING AFTER ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION?
1. Proper hygiene and medications as instructed by the doctor
To treat the pain after liposuction, besides the quality of the applied liposuction technology, machine, doctor’s qualifications, etc., self-care at home is equally essential. Accordingly, you need:
- Use the right dose of medicines, and clean the wounds with cotton swabs exactly as your doctor prescribes.
- Regularly change the bandage and use cotton swabs to soak the discharge so that the surgical areas are always clean. When there is no more discharge, you should wear a compression bandage for the wound to heal quickly as well as fix the abdomen shape.
- Meet the doctor immediately if you have any worries or concerns.
2. Apply hot, cold compresses
According to Dr. Park Sung Yong: A very effective way to deal with swelling and pain after surgery is applying cold compresses. After 3-4 days of plastic surgery, you should apply cold compresses to treat the swelling quickly.
At the same time, you can also apply hot compresses, which will help blood flow easily and make the damaged tissues recover quickly.
3. Drink more water and avoid using stimulants such as cigarettes
You should drink at least 2 liters of water per day. Frequent urination will help you quickly eliminate waste products in the body, which also helps promote the kidneys to work more smoothly.
Because sodium concentration has a direct effect on edema, during this time, you need to choose for yourself a diet with a mild taste.
Avoid using tobacco because it can cause blood vessels to constrict, disrupt circulation and slow down the healing process of the incision.
In fact, reducing swelling and pain after abdominal liposuction can determine how long you can become beautiful after abdominal liposuction. Because only when your body is no longer damaged, the abdomen can start to become smooth, tight, and beautiful.
