Minimal Invasive Lipoabdominoplasty | MILA Surgery

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of the best lipoabdominoplasty surgeons in the country. During this appointment, you and your doctor will discuss your goals, medical history, lifestyle and habits to determine if minimal invasive lipoabdominoplasty (MILA) is the right choice for you.

You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and gain a clear understanding of the procedure and recovery process. Your surgeon will also take a look at the area that you are interested in treating and may take pictures and measurements of the area.

Please keep in mind that our number one priority is always your well-being. For this reason, your surgeon may delay your surgery if you are pregnant, suffer from certain conditions such as diabetes or heart issues, or are overweight beyond the healthy limit. The doctor will also recommend doing some lab tests before the surgery to avoid any complications.

As part of surgery prep, the doctor will also advise you to follow specific guidelines like maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine, stopping smoking at least three weeks before the surgery and strictly avoiding anti-inflammatory drugs or medicines, such as aspirin, in order to reduce the risk of excess bleeding during surgery.

Minimal invasive lipoabdominoplasty (MILA) is a surgical operation intended to shape the abdomen by removing excess fats through liposuction. It is an alternative to the classic but more invasive abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).

The lipoabdominoplasty procedure is performed in an outpatient setting under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery, and involves making small incisions in different parts of the abdomen and then inserting a cannula through these incisions to remove excessive fats after breaking them down with a special solution. In some cases, where it is needed, the surgeon may also perform skin tightening for small amounts of excess skin in the area. The MILA procedure generally takes between 1 to 2 hours to complete.

Recovery time will vary from one patient to another, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few weeks. Before you begin your recovery period, your doctor will guide you through all the necessary steps to follow to maintain optimal results and the fastest recovery time possible. Our team will also always be available to answer any questions you may have and will provide comprehensive guidance throughout your healing process.
