Liposuction in Aleppo: Recovery and Results

Yes — combining is standard practice. Single-area treatment is rare; patients usually combine several problem zones, e.g. the abdomen and flanks or the inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will work out the optimal scope of surgery with you at the consultation, based on your health and goals.

No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method. Its purpose is to remove local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and to reshape body contours. If your weight is unstable, first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

The surgery is done through punctures only 3–7 mm across — they usually need no stitches. Once healed, the marks are barely visible. 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 is performed under anesthesia, either local or general depending on the scope. Afterwards mild discomfort is possible and is relieved by doctor-prescribed painkillers.

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 perform the surgery for 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. The skin structure that causes cellulite is not changed by liposuction, which removes fat tissue. Yet the improved contours visibly reduce its appearance.

In 7–10 days most patients return to work and their normal routine. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5, and the final result forms in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

You don't need a strict diet, but what you eat matters for keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, yet the remaining ones may grow with weight gain. We recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity for a lasting result.

Yes. 7–10 days before liposuction, stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). You also need pre-operative tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, and GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You'll receive all instructions after your first consultation.

2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling subsides, first changes appear. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed. Final contours form in 3–6 months.
