Fat Removal Surgery in Onitsha

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. Liposuction is not for losing weight. Its purpose is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape the contours of the body. If your weight keeps changing, first consult a nutritionist or endocrinologist.

It is done through tiny punctures of 3–7 mm, which usually need no stitches. Once they heal, the marks are barely noticeable, and proper care in recovery lets them fade completely.

Skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always checked by the surgeon before surgery. Good skin tightens on its own and adapts to the new contours. If the tone is reduced or stretch marks are present, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments that improve the skin in advance.

No — the procedure is performed under anesthesia, either local or general depending on the scope. Afterwards mild discomfort is possible and is relieved by doctor-prescribed painkillers.

For the first 7 days — no physical exertion or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks wear compression garments and avoid bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Alcohol and tanning beds are off-limits for at least a month. Your surgeon gives all individual recommendations after surgery.

From 18+ and without contraindications, we perform the surgery. No upper age limit: the decision is individual and follows an examination and assessment of your health.

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

A return to work and the usual routine takes most patients 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5; the final result takes shape in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

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. 7–10 days ahead of liposuction you stop smoking, alcohol and blood-clotting medications such as aspirin. You also need pre-op tests: blood tests, an ECG, ultrasound and consultations with a GP and an anesthesiologist. Full instructions come after your first consultation.

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.
