What is Stomach Liposuction Surgery?

Refine your midsection and target stubborn belly fat with abdominal liposuction—also known as tummy lipo—at the Minor Surgery Clinic. This procedure is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with localised fat in the abdominal area that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.

At the Minor Surgery Clinic, tummy liposuction is performed under local anaesthetic, providing a comfortable, low-risk experience with minimal downtime and quicker recovery. The procedure typically lasts one to two hours. Small incisions are made in the abdomen, through which the VASER probe—an advanced ultrasound-assisted device—is inserted. This technology gently breaks down and liquefies fat, which is then carefully suctioned out, resulting in a smoother, more defined contour while preserving surrounding tissues.
Before and After Stomach Liposuction
After treatment, you’ll be advised to wear a compression garment for several weeks to support healing, minimise swelling, and promote skin retraction. Most patients resume light activities within a few days, while more strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2–3 weeks or as directed by your clinician.

While liposuction is generally safe in the hands of qualified professionals, potential side effects can include bruising, swelling, infection, and temporary numbness. In rare cases, minor contour irregularities or nerve sensitivity may occur.

Our experienced team at the Minor Surgery Clinic provides personalised consultations, expert care, and dedicated follow-up to ensure a smooth, safe, and satisfying experience. Reveal a flatter, more contoured abdomen—without the need for general anaesthesia.

What is the process?

Sculpt a flatter, more defined midsection with abdominal liposuction at the Minor Surgery Clinic. This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle but struggle with stubborn belly fat that doesn't respond to diet or exercise. We use the advanced VASER Liposuction technique, which targets and removes fat with high precision while preserving surrounding tissues. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, offering a more comfortable experience, reduced risk, and faster recovery time compared to traditional methods using general anaesthesia.

Once the treatment area is numbed, small incisions are made, and the VASER probe is inserted. This ultrasound-assisted device emits sound waves to gently break down and liquefy fat cells. The liquefied fat is then carefully suctioned out, with minimal trauma to nearby blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. In some cases, if loose or sagging skin remains, it may be trimmed for a smoother, more toned appearance. The incisions are closed with sutures or surgical tape.

The procedure usually takes between one and three hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed. Recovery is typically quick—most patients can return to light activities or work within a few days, with full recovery expected in a few weeks. A compression garment is recommended post-treatment to reduce swelling and support the healing process. At the Minor Surgery Clinic, our expert team focuses on delivering safe, effective results tailored to your goals. With personalised care and state-of-the-art technology, you can achieve a slimmer, more contoured abdominal area—without the need for general anaesthesia.

What is the aftercare process?

Swelling and Bruising: It’s normal to experience some swelling and bruising, which may last from several days to a few weeks as your body heals.

Pain and Discomfort: Mild pain or tenderness is common following the procedure, but it can usually be controlled with simple, over-the-counter pain medications.

Compression Garments: You’ll likely be advised to wear compression garments to help reduce swelling, support tissue recovery, and enhance your final shape.

Limited Physical Activity: Strenuous movements, exercise, and lifting should be avoided for several weeks to allow your body the time it needs to recover properly.

Post-Op Follow-Ups: Follow-up visits with your clinic are important to track progress, answer any questions, and ensure everything is healing as expected.

Gradual Recovery: Visible improvements will appear gradually, and it’s important to stick to your aftercare plan to get the best possible outcome.

Temporary Sensitivity: Temporary numbness, tingling, or sensitivity in the treated area is common and generally fades as the healing process continues.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Stomach Liposuction surgery
Am I a good candidate for abdominal liposuction?
Ideal candidates are individuals who are close to their ideal weight but have stubborn fat deposits in the abdominal area that do not respond to diet or exercise. Good skin elasticity and overall good health also contribute to better outcomes. A consultation at the Minor Surgery Clinic will help determine if this procedure is right for you.
What type of anaesthesia is used during the procedure?
At the Minor Surgery Clinic, abdominal liposuction is performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring the treatment area is fully numbed while you remain awake and at ease. This approach allows for a more comfortable experience, faster recovery, and fewer risks than procedures done under general anaesthesia.
How long does the abdominal liposuction procedure take?
The procedure usually takes between one and three hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed and the individual’s specific anatomy.
What is the expected recovery time and when can I resume normal activities?
Most patients can return to light activities or work within a few days. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about 2–3 weeks or as advised by your surgeon. Full recovery generally takes a few weeks, during which a compression garment is recommended to support healing.
Will I have visible scars after the procedure?
Incisions are very small and strategically placed for minimal visibility. Scars typically fade over time and can be concealed easily.
Are the results of abdominal liposuction permanent?
Most patients retain full or near-full sensation, but there is a small risk of temporary or permanent changes in nipple sensitivity. Your surgeon will discuss this with you in detail during your consultation.
