Knee liposuction
Liposuction means surgical removal of excess subcutaneous fat from specific problem areas. It is not for losing weight and cannot stand in for diet and exercise. It is about targeted body contouring: saddlebags on the thighs, a sagging abdomen, fat deposits on the back, flanks, arms or chin.
The procedure is right for people with a normal weight and active lifestyle whose certain areas still store fat. Key fact: removed fat cells do not return to treated areas, so with a steady routine the result is long-lasting.

Free consultation before surgery
Several zones can be corrected in one operation — a saving in recovery time and budget
Abdomen and flanks
The most requested area for women and men, often combined with a tummy tuck
Thighs
(outer and inner)
Fat “traps” that resist exercise
Back and lower back
Back rolls that spoil the silhouette
Arms and shoulders
A cosmetic concern that shows in warm weather
Chin
and neck
Small volume, quick visible result
Knees
A delicate area that needs precise work
Chest
(for men)
Gynecomastia, pseudogynecomastia — the fat component

Tumescent (classic) liposuction
A special solution based on saline, with lidocaine, adrenaline and some other agents, is injected into the area first. It softens the fat tissue and constricts vessels, minimising blood loss and making removal gentle. After that, a thin cannula removes the fat emulsion by vacuum.
There is almost no swelling or bruising after surgery, and recovery is much easier than after a conventional procedure.

VASER liposuction (ultrasound)
Fat cells are broken down by ultrasound before vacuum removal. The method is ideal for defining pronounced muscle relief — athletic abs — and for body contouring.
It also suits delicate areas.

Surgeon consultation
At the visit the doctor listens to your goals, examines you, assesses the fat deposits and rules out contraindications. City Medical Centre adds a hormonal screening, which helps predict the long-term result.

Pre-operative tests
A chest X-ray, ECG and blood tests (complete count, coagulation panel, biochemistry, infections — HIV, hepatitis, syphilis), plus a GP consultation if needed.
All tests can be done at the clinic with no waiting.

Preparation
2 weeks before: stop medications that affect blood clotting. A week before: no alcohol and no smoking, so you heal faster. 8 hours before: your final meal.

Surgery day
You meet the surgeon, the areas are marked and compression garments are fitted. Anesthesia is local or general, depending on the scope.
Length of surgery: from 1 hour (small areas) to 3–4 hours (combined procedure).

Waking up and monitoring
Patients under general anesthesia stay one day in hospital for observation, while those under local anesthesia leave 3–4 hours after surgery.

Recovery
The compression period is 30–45 days. First results emerge in 3–4 weeks, once swelling is down, and the final result is assessed at 3 months when the skin has fully tightened.

Please check with a clinic doctor if you live with chronic conditions!

Recovery after tumescent liposuction is much shorter than after a conventional procedure. Most patients are back at work within 3–7 days. Mild swelling and a slightly raised temperature are possible in the first week — a normal response to surgery. Compression garments are worn for 30–45 days to fix the new contours and speed up tissue recovery. For the first month, bathhouse, sauna, pool and intense sport are off-limits. For the best result and quicker recovery we recommend lymphatic drainage massage, pressotherapy and a gradual return to activity. First visible changes come in 3–4 weeks, the final result at 3 months.

Hormonal approach, where an endocrinologist excludes hormonal causes of obesity before surgery and so improves the long-term result

Modern equipment
We use the tumescent and VASER techniques and closed fat-harvesting systems with precise control of volume

Minimally invasive approach
Only micro-incisions of 3–5 mm: little blood loss and hardly visible post-op marks

Combined surgeries
Combining liposuction with other procedures, or treating several areas at once, is possible

Support until the result
During recovery the surgeon stays in touch. The price in the contract is fixed, with no hidden extras
The final price is calculated individually after an examination. Interest-free instalments available

Can liposuction be done on several areas in one operation?
Yes, it is common practice. Patients seldom treat just one area; more often they combine several problem zones, for example abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will help you choose the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, based on your health and desired result.
Is liposuction a way to lose weight?
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.
Will there be scars after surgery?
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.
How will the skin behave — won't it sag?
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.
Is the surgery painful?
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.
What should be avoided after liposuction?
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.
At what age can liposuction be done, and is there an upper limit?
We carry out the surgery for patients 18+ with no contraindications. An upper age limit does not exist — each case is decided individually after an examination and health assessment.
Does liposuction help with cellulite?
Not directly. It removes fat but leaves unchanged the skin structure causing cellulite. Nevertheless, improved body contours visibly lessen its appearance.
How long does recovery take?
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.
Do I need a diet after surgery, and what if I gain weight?
A strict diet isn't required, but nutrition matters for keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't come back, but the remaining ones can grow if you gain weight. For a lasting result we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
Do I need to prepare for surgery?
Yes. You need to stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction, and pass pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. All instructions are provided after your first consultation.
When will the result be visible?
You'll see the first changes 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides. The interim result is judged at 1.5–2 months; the final contours take 3–6 months to form.
Liposuction is not only a women's procedure. The abdomen and flanks are the top request for both sexes, and in men the chest is a separate case: the fat component of gynecomastia or pseudogynecomastia can be removed surgically. VASER, with ultrasound breakdown of fat, helps define pronounced muscle relief. Men in Ile-Ife can discuss which technique suits their goals at the consultation.
Recovery after tumescent liposuction is much shorter than after a conventional procedure. Most patients return to work within 3–7 days. Mild swelling and a raised temperature in the first week are a normal response. Compression garments are worn for 30–45 days to fix the new contours. For those in Ile-Ife, lymphatic drainage massage and pressotherapy are recommended to speed things up.
How much is liposuction in Ile-Ife? Prices start at $1,200, depending on the zone and the scope of surgery. Treating several areas in one operation often saves both recovery time and budget. The exact cost is confirmed once the surgeon has examined you, and it is then fixed in the contract. Start with a free consultation by sending a request or messaging us.
