The most requested surgeries
Intended to reshape the body contour is liposuction.
liposuction is the surgery performed to eliminate the accumulation of localized fat in different parts of our body, thus reshaping the figure. With liposuction, the localized fat foci are aspirated which, after being processed, can be implanted in another part of the body, achieving reshaping the body figure l. This second technique that includes a prior liposuction is known as liposculpture .
Am I a candidate for liposuction or liposculpture?
Liposculpture is surgery that aims to remove localized accumulations of fat or fat that does not respond to diet or physical exercise by performing liposuction. It is not a method of weight loss in itself but a way to reshape the figure .
Therefore, the ideal candidates are those who have a normal weight but have accumulations of fat in localized areas.
The pattern of distribution of body fat differs in each sex, so if you are a man and have fat accumulation in
- legs, flanks, stomach, abdomen, or arms
- you want to remove it and perhaps gain volume from another body area
YOU ARE A GOOD CANDIDATE !!

At Guadalupe González Clinic we offer you the highest medical quality at the best price. We take care of everything so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. All these services are included in the price of liposuction or liposculpture:
- Preoperative study (surgery, nursing, anesthesia consultation and all complementary tests included).
- Operating room and hospitalization expenses if necessary.
- Postoperative medical check-ups until discharge including pain management for greater comfort.
Preoperative
In order for you to be able to do a liposculpture with total safety, we must assess your general condition based on your possible drug and environmental allergies, personal and family pathological history, habitual and past medication, possible previous surgical interventions, toxic habits (tobacco), etc.
It is also necessary to have a general analysis, chest x-ray and electrocardiogram. With this study you will be visited by an anesthesiologist who will verify the results, as well as solve your doubts.
At Guadalupe González Clinic we will also take preoperative photographs, which will help us before, during and after liposuction or liposculpture.
Surgical technique
We perform the surgery in the operating room, under local anesthesia, local with sedation or general anesthesia according to your needs.
The intervention usually lasts between 1 and 4 hours.
Initially, the areas to be treated are marked. The cannulas are introduced through small incisions that will help us to infiltrate the local anesthesia tissues with adrenaline to achieve a vasoconstrictor effect. Later we proceed to the extraction of the fat thanks to some cannulas connected to a suction device, in this way we can extract the fatty accumulations.
This technique can also be performed with the help of a laser, called lipolaser. This allows the surgeon to melt the fat before removing it.
The fat obtained can be processed in order to give volume in those areas with little tissue. This is known as a fat autograft, called liposculpture.
In all cases, after the procedure, compression garments are placed that control inflammation and minimize the appearance of bruises.
POSTOPERATIVE
If you choose to perform the surgery on an outpatient basis, a few hours after the procedure you can return to your usual home, being accompanied, with compression garments and following the prescribed medical recommendations.
If hospital admission has been decided for the first 24 hours, you will appear at the clinic with the relevant bandage, receiving intravenous analgesic and antibiotic treatment. The next day, you can be discharged from the hospital with oral medication and following the surgeon’s instructions.
It is normal for inflammation, a sensation of pain, occasional stinging and tingling to appear, which you can calm with medication and postoperative treatment as well as cryotherapy.
Between the fourth or sixth day, we do the control in the consultation where we will remove the girdle and begin neural therapy for your greater comfort. We recommend the use of a special bandage.
You will be able to incorporate relatively quickly into daily and work life, always following the specialist’s instructions, limiting strong physical activities for a few weeks, until you recover from the intervention.
The sutures are removed between 7 – 10 days after the operation and the aesthetic treatment of the scars is started so that in the future they are as imperceptible as possible, as well as the lymphatic drains.
Swelling may be present at first. As this is decreasing and the tissues are giving way, they will be placed in their natural position, so you must wear the girdle the first month.
FAQ’s
About liposuction or liposculpture
1.
When do the results appear?
The results can be appreciated from the first moment, since the fat is eliminated during the surgery. The definitive result is appreciated from the fourth month once the inflammation has diminished. The results of liposuction are permanent as long as you take care of your diet and exercise.
2.
Fat removed, can it reappear?
No, since by performing liposuction or liposculpture we are eliminating fat cells that do not have the capacity to regenerate, so that where they have been eliminated they will not be able to appear again. The remaining fat cells do have the ability to grow (increasing their volume) so if, after surgery, we gain weight, this fat will accumulate in the remaining fat cells, which can make us increase the volume. In other words, the fat cells that remain can increase or decrease the volume if we gain or lose weight.
3.
These fat cells, can they appear elsewhere?
Eliminating fat cells through liposuction does not imply that fat cells will appear elsewhere. The distribution of fatty tissue follows a hormonal pattern in such a way that these accumulate during periods of hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy, menopause, etc …
