Liposuction in Mumbai: Recovery and Results

Yes, it is standard practice. Patients rarely have one area treated alone and more often combine several problem zones, such as abdomen and flanks or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, based on your health and the result you want.

No. It is not a weight-loss method. Liposuction removes local fat deposits that stay despite diet and exercise, reshaping body contours. When weight is unstable, a nutritionist or endocrinologist should be seen first.

The surgery is done through punctures only 3–7 mm across — they usually need no stitches. Once healed, the marks are barely visible. 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.

Avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting for the first 7 days. For 4–6 weeks you wear compression garments and skip the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Alcohol and tanning beds are ruled out for at least a month. The surgeon gives personal recommendations after the operation.

The surgery is for patients aged 18+ without contraindications. As for an upper limit, there is none: we decide individually after an examination and health check.

Not directly. Liposuction removes fat tissue but does not change the skin structure that causes cellulite. Still, improved body contours visibly reduce its appearance.

Most patients are back to work and daily life in 7–10 days. By weeks 4–5 the swelling and bruising are gone. After 3–6 months, when the tissues fully adapt, the final result is formed.

No strict diet is needed, yet nutrition plays a role in keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, but the ones left can grow if you gain weight. To make the result last, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. For 7–10 days before liposuction, no smoking, no alcohol and no medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). Pre-operative tests are required too — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You receive all instructions after the first consultation.

First changes show 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months. The final contours form in 3–6 months.
