Fat Removal Surgery in Bloemfontein

Yes, that's standard. Treating only one area is rare — usually several problem zones are combined, like the abdomen with the flanks or the inner with the outer thighs. At the consultation, our surgeons define the optimal scope of surgery according to your health and the result you want.

No. It is not a weight-loss method. Liposuction removes local fat deposits that stay despite diet and exercise, reshaping body contours. When weight is unstable, a nutritionist or endocrinologist should be seen first.

Liposuction is performed through 3–7 mm punctures that usually require no stitches. The healed marks are barely visible and, with proper care during recovery, disappear completely.

Before surgery, skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always assessed by the surgeon. Healthy skin tightens by itself to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin beforehand.

No, it doesn't hurt: the procedure is under anesthesia (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild discomfort after surgery can occur and is relieved with painkillers the doctor prescribes.

First 7 days — no physical effort or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks — compression garments and no bathhouse, sauna, pool or active sport. At least one month without alcohol and tanning beds. After surgery, your surgeon will give all individual recommendations.

We perform it for patients 18+ who have no contraindications. No upper age limit exists — the decision is individual, following an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. Liposuction takes away fat, not the skin structure responsible for cellulite. However, the improved body contours visibly reduce its appearance.

Most patients return to their usual routine and work in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, once the tissues fully adapt.

A strict diet isn't needed, but your nutrition matters for maintaining the result. Removed fat cells are gone for good, but the remaining ones can grow with weight gain. For a lasting result, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

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

Changes start to show 2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling has gone. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed, and in 3–6 months the final contours form.
