Liposuction in Al Ain: Recovery and Results

Yes, it's routine. Only rarely is one area treated on its own — more often several problem zones are combined, e.g. abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation our surgeons will help set the optimal scope of surgery based on your health and the result you are after.

No, liposuction does not serve for weight loss. It removes local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and reshapes the body. If your weight fluctuates, first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

The surgery is done through punctures just 3–7 mm across, which usually need no stitches. Once healed, the marks are barely visible, and with proper care during recovery they fade completely.

Before surgery the surgeon always evaluates the skin's tone, elasticity and turgor. Good-quality skin tightens by itself to match the new contours. If tone is reduced or you have stretch marks, our specialists will advise preparatory treatments to improve the skin ahead of time.

No. The procedure takes place under anesthesia (local or general, according to the scope). Some mild discomfort may follow and is eased with painkillers the doctor prescribes.

In the first 7 days there should be no physical exertion or heavy lifting. Compression garments are worn for 4–6 weeks, and the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport are avoided. No alcohol or tanning beds for at least a month. Your surgeon provides all individual recommendations after surgery.

We operate on patients aged 18+ with no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — the decision is made individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. Liposuction removes fat tissue but doesn't change the skin structure behind cellulite. Even so, better body contours visibly reduce how it looks.

Most people resume their routine and work in 7–10 days. Bruising and swelling go by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, when the tissues have adapted fully.

There's no need for a strict diet, but nutrition is key to keeping the result. Removed fat cells stay gone; the remaining cells, however, can grow if you gain weight. For a long-lasting result, keep a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. You need to stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction, and pass pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. All instructions are provided after your first consultation.

When the main swelling subsides, 2 weeks after surgery, the first changes become visible. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months and the final contours form in 3–6 months.
