Liposuction in Calabar: Price and Techniques

Yes, it's standard practice. It is rare to treat a single area alone; patients tend to combine problem zones such as abdomen and flanks or inner and outer thighs. Based on your health and desired result, our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation.

No. Liposuction is not for losing weight. Its purpose is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape the contours of the body. If your weight keeps changing, first consult a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

The operation uses punctures just 3–7 mm across that normally need no stitches. Healed marks are barely visible; with proper recovery care they fade fully.

Assessing skin tone, elasticity and turgor before surgery is something the surgeon always does. Skin in good condition tightens naturally to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin beforehand.

No. It is done under local or general anesthesia, depending on the scope. You may feel mild discomfort afterwards, which painkillers prescribed by the doctor relieve.

No physical exertion or lifting heavy things for the first 7 days. Wear compression garments for 4–6 weeks and stay away from the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Avoid alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. After surgery your surgeon gives you all individual recommendations.

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. It removes fat tissue without changing the skin structure that causes cellulite. Still, improved contours make cellulite visibly less noticeable.

A return to work and the usual routine takes most patients 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5; the final result takes shape in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

No strict diet is needed, yet nutrition plays a role in keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, but the ones left can grow if you gain weight. To make the result last, 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.

First changes show 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months. The final contours form in 3–6 months.
