Body Contouring with Liposuction in Harare

Yes, it's standard practice. Treating a single area alone is rare — patients more often combine several problem zones, e.g. abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation, our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery based on your health and desired result.

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 the operation, the surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor. If the skin is in good condition, it tightens on its own around the new contours. For reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No, you are under anesthesia during the procedure — local or general, depending on the scope. After surgery there may be mild discomfort, relieved by painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

For 7 days after surgery avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting. Keep compression garments on for 4–6 weeks and avoid the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sports. Alcohol and tanning beds are not allowed for at least a month. All individual advice is given by your surgeon after surgery.

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. Fat tissue is removed, but the skin structure that causes cellulite stays the same. Even so, its appearance is visibly reduced by the better contours.

The majority of patients go back to work and their normal routine within 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising disappear by weeks 4–5, and it takes 3–6 months for the final result to form as tissues fully adapt.

A strict diet isn't necessary, though nutrition is important to maintain the result. The fat cells removed won't return, but those left can enlarge if you put on weight. A balanced diet and regular physical activity keep the result lasting.

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 are visible 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling goes down. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months, and the final contours form in 3–6 months.
