Liposuction of Problem Areas in Kampala

Yes — combining is standard practice. Single-area treatment is rare; patients usually combine several problem zones, e.g. the abdomen and flanks or the inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will work out the optimal scope of surgery with you at the consultation, based on your health and goals.

No, liposuction is not a way to lose weight. It removes local fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise and reshapes body contours. With an unstable weight, you should first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

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.

The surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor before surgery. Skin in good condition tightens on its own and follows the new contours. If tone is reduced or there are stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No — anesthesia is used (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild discomfort after surgery is possible; the doctor prescribes painkillers to relieve it.

No exertion or heavy lifting during the first 7 days. Compression garments for 4–6 weeks, with the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport off the table. For at least a month, alcohol and tanning beds are off-limits. Individual recommendations are given by your surgeon after surgery.

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.

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

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

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.

Yes. Stop smoking, alcohol and medications affecting blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction. Pre-operative tests are also needed: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound and consultations with a GP and anesthesiologist. All instructions are given after your 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.
