Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or body contouring, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body. It is an effective way to reshape and sculpt the body, creating a smoother, more contoured silhouette. Liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but rather a treatment for localized fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise. At Nairobi Sculpt Aesthetic Centre, our expert surgeons utilize advanced liposuction techniques to help you achieve a more refined body shape.
Despite a healthy lifestyle, many individuals struggle with stubborn fat in certain areas. Liposuction can effectively treat various parts of the body, including:
During your comprehensive consultation, our surgeon will assess your body contours, discuss your specific areas of concern, and determine if liposuction is the right procedure for you. We will tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs, aiming for natural-looking results that enhance your overall body proportions.
Liposuction involves making small, inconspicuous incisions in the target areas. A thin, hollow tube called a cannula is inserted through these incisions. The surgeon then moves the cannula back and forth to dislodge the fat cells, which are then suctioned out using a surgical vacuum or syringe. Different techniques may be used, such as tumescent liposuction (where a solution is injected to make fat removal easier and reduce bleeding) or ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), which uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy fat cells before removal.
The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the area being treated. The duration of the surgery varies based on the number and size of areas. After liposuction, you will typically wear a compression garment for several weeks to help reduce swelling and support your new contours. You may experience some bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort, which usually subside within a few weeks. Most patients can return to light daily activities within a few days, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2-4 weeks. The full results of liposuction become visible as swelling resolves, which can take several months.
