Liposuction in Ebute Ikorodu: Recovery and Results

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 a weight-loss method; it targets local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and reshapes the body's contours. First see a nutritionist or endocrinologist if your weight is unstable.

Only 3–7 mm punctures are made, usually without stitches. After healing you can barely see the marks, and they fade completely with proper care during recovery.

Skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always checked by the surgeon before surgery. Good skin tightens on its own and adapts to the new contours. If the tone is reduced or stretch marks are present, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments that improve the skin in advance.

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.

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.

Patients aged 18+ with no contraindications can have the surgery. There is no upper age limit; we decide 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.

Most patients are back to work and daily life in 7–10 days. By weeks 4–5 the swelling and bruising are gone. After 3–6 months, when the tissues fully adapt, the final result is formed.

You won't need a strict diet, but nutrition is important for keeping your result. The removed fat cells do not come back; the remaining ones, though, can grow if weight increases. We recommend balanced eating and regular physical activity for a lasting result.

Yes. 7–10 days before the liposuction, stop smoking and alcohol, as well as medications affecting blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). Pre-operative tests are needed: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, plus GP and anesthesiologist consultations. After your first consultation you'll get all the instructions.

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.
