Liposuction in Kano: Recovery and Results

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 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.

Punctures of only 3–7 mm are used, and they usually don't need stitches. After healing the marks are hardly visible; with good aftercare during recovery they fade completely.

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.

No. Anesthesia — local or general depending on the scope — is used for the procedure. After surgery you might feel mild discomfort, which is relieved with painkillers prescribed by your doctor.

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 from age 18+, if there are no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — after an examination and health assessment, the decision is made individually.

Not directly. While liposuction removes fat tissue, it does not change the skin structure that causes cellulite. Improved body contours still visibly reduce its appearance.

Most patients return to work and everyday life in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising settle by weeks 4–5, while the final result forms over 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

You don't need a strict diet, but what you eat matters for keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, yet the remaining ones may grow with weight gain. We recommend a balanced diet 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.

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.
