Body Contouring with Liposuction in Mombasa

Yes, standard practice. Few patients treat just a single area; most combine several problem zones — abdomen and flanks, for example, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, taking into account your health and desired result.

No. Liposuction won't make you lose weight. Its aim is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape your contours. If your weight is not stable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist beforehand.

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, skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always assessed by the surgeon. Healthy skin tightens by itself to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin beforehand.

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.

During the first 7 days, skip physical exertion and heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks wear compression garments and avoid bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Keep away from alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. Your surgeon gives every individual recommendation after surgery.

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. 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.

2 weeks after surgery the main swelling subsides and first changes show. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months, and the final contours take shape in 3–6 months.
