Liposuction for Patients from Sokoto

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 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.

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.

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. 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.

First 7 days — no physical effort or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks — compression garments and no bathhouse, sauna, pool or active sport. At least one month without alcohol and tanning beds. After surgery, your surgeon will give all individual recommendations.

We operate on patients aged 18+ with no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — the decision is made individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. Fat tissue is removed, but the skin structure that causes cellulite stays the same. Even so, its appearance is visibly reduced by the better contours.

After 7–10 days most patients are back to work and their usual routine. By weeks 4–5 swelling and bruising resolve. Once the tissues have fully adapted, in 3–6 months, the final result forms.

No strict diet, but nutrition does matter for the result to last. Fat cells that were removed don't come back, while the rest can grow with weight gain. We advise a balanced diet and regular physical activity for a lasting result.

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.

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.
