Introduction
Liposuction primarily removes excess body fat through negative pressure suction or ultrasound techniques, achieving weight loss and body contouring effects. The reference price for liposuction generally ranges from 2,000 to 25,000 yuan. Noticeable improvement is usually seen within 3 to 6 months. This procedure carries risks such as infection and bleeding. Liposuction generally cannot completely resolve a large abdomen, but it can provide a certain degree of improvement.

Liposuction mainly uses techniques such as vacuum aspiration or ultrasound to remove excess body fat, achieving weight loss and body contouring effects. The reference price for liposuction generally ranges from 2,000 to 25,000 yuan. Noticeable improvements are usually seen within 3 to 6 months. Possible risks of the surgery include infection and bleeding. Liposuction generally cannot completely resolve a protruding abdomen (large belly), but it can offer some improvement. Postoperative care is important to maintain surgical results.

Liposuction can precisely remove fat accumulated in the abdominal area, rapidly reducing fat volume and helping to improve the abdominal appearance. It is particularly effective for a protruding abdomen caused by fat accumulation, significantly improving abdominal contours and enhancing body shape, especially when the patient's health condition permits surgery. However, liposuction cannot completely and permanently resolve the issue of a large belly.

A protruding abdomen may also be related to internal organ abnormalities and muscle laxity, in addition to fat accumulation. Liposuction only targets the fat layer and cannot address problems related to internal organs. Moreover, if unhealthy lifestyle habits persist after surgery, such as consuming a high-calorie diet and lacking physical exercise, the remaining fat cells may enlarge again, leading to renewed fat accumulation in the abdominal area.

Liposuction places a significant burden on the body and carries certain risks; it is not a permanent solution. After surgery, it is important to wear compression garments, actively control diet, and engage in appropriate physical exercise, all of which help maintain a healthy body shape.
