Excess fat in the abdominal area can be particularly challenging to eliminate, even with a strict diet and regular exercise. At White Hill Clinic, we can assist with stomach liposuction in Sydney, offering a solution that may help improve abdominal contours.
Our experienced team ensures that each liposuction surgery is performed with the utmost care and precision, tailored to meet your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
What is Stomach Liposuction?
Stomach liposuction, also referred to as abdomen liposuction or tummy liposuction, is a liposuction surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from the abdominal area. This procedure targets stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise, helping to reshape and contour the midsection.
During the liposuction procedure, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to break up and suction out the unwanted fat deposits. The procedure is minimally invasive and focuses on enhancing the overall appearance of your stomach, creating a smoother and flatter profile.
Benefits of Stomach Liposuction
Undergoing a stomach liposuction procedure at White Hill Clinic offers several potential benefits, including:
- Improved body contour: Potentially enhancing the shape and definition of the abdominal area.
- Targeted fat removal: Focuses on localised fat deposits in the abdomen that are resistant to diet and exercise.
- Long-lasting results: Once the fat cells are removed, they do not return, provided a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
It’s important to note that results can vary and stomach liposuction should not be seen as a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Am I a Good Candidate for Stomach Liposuction?
You may be a good candidate for arm liposuction if you:
- Have localised fat deposits in the upper arms.
- Are at a stable weight but have stubborn fat that does not respond to diet or exercise.
- Have good skin elasticity to ensure optimal results.
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
- Have no significant health conditions
It is important to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure, understanding that results can vary from person to person.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do the results of stomach liposuction last?
The results of stomach liposuction are long-lasting, as the removed fat cells do not regenerate. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise is crucial to avoid weight gain, helping to preserve the results and preventing the remaining fat cells from expanding. If you gain weight significantly, it can affect other areas of the body and potentially alter the results of the procedure.
Will I have visible scars after stomach liposuction?
Stomach liposuction involves small incisions, and our surgeons take care to place them in discrete locations. While some scarring is possible, it typically fades over time and becomes less noticeable. The scars from liposuction surgery are generally minimal, thanks to the small size of the incisions.
Can stomach liposuction help with excess skin?
Stomach liposuction is designed to remove fat cells, not excess skin. If you have significant excess skin, you may require a different procedure to achieve the desired results. Abdominal liposuction primarily focuses on reducing stubborn fat deposits rather than tightening loose skin.
How soon can I exercise after stomach liposuction?
Light activities can typically be resumed within a week, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines based on your recovery progress. Proper care during recovery is essential to ensure that the liposuction performed achieves the best possible outcome.
Is stomach liposuction a weight loss solution?
No, stomach liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is designed to remove stubborn fat deposits and improve body contours. Candidates should be close to their ideal body weight before undergoing this surgical procedure. Liposuction procedures are meant to refine and sculpt specific areas rather than serve as a primary method for weight loss.
Can I combine stomach liposuction with other surgical procedures?
Yes, stomach liposuction can often be combined with other liposuction procedures or surgical treatments, such as breast augmentation, or thigh liposuction, to address multiple areas of the body in one surgery. Combining procedures can optimise your results and reduce overall recovery time, but this should be discussed with your surgeon to ensure safety and effectiveness.
