Liposuction

As with any other type of surgical procedure, a visit to the operating room will always carry some risks that must be considered. In principle, liposuction is not particularly aggressive, and the side effects are minimal.

The most common side effects involve numbness in the treated areas, as well as slight discomfort and swelling that will accompany this sensation. Depending on the patient’s circulation, bruising may appear on the surface of the skin. All these symptoms will disappear over the following weeks, so some patience is required.

Sometimes changes in skin color and sensation have been observed. Thermal burns can also occur, especially in liposuction procedures that are combined with laser and ultrasound.

There are no strict requirements for undergoing liposuction . In principle, any adult in stable health who does not smoke can benefit from this procedure.

If you meet these three criteria and believe your body accumulates fat in an unsightly way, liposculpture is your best option. With the help of our plastic surgeons, you can not only get rid of excess fat but also sculpt your figure in the most attractive way possible

It’s important to understand that fat removal is not a weight loss tool or a way to combat cellulite. You should also consider that skin gains elasticity over time, and removing fat tissue can leave your skin looking saggy and less attractive.

Before making a final decision, we invite you to speak with a professional at our aesthetic clinic in Malaga and discover if liposuction can give you what you’re looking for.

Establishing a standardized price for liposuction is practically impossible. This is because each case has different characteristics, and patients always have different needs and expectations.

At Clínica Estética Málaga, we will prepare a detailed quote for the services you require after our surgeons speak with you. This way, we can accurately determine everything your treatment requires and provide the best solution for your aesthetic needs.

The liposuction quote will include hospitalization costs, medical fees, anesthesia, and all postoperative check-ups with our surgeons.

It’s important to understand that these prices will vary between different centers and that often the cheapest option isn’t the best. In most cases, the price is determined by the quality of care offered by an aesthetic clinic and the safety with which the procedure will be carried out.

Depending on the number of areas the patient wishes to treat, liposuction can last between 1 and 4 hours. It is performed under general anesthesia, which prevents our patients from feeling pain and discomfort during the procedure.

The surgical procedure focuses on suctioning localized adipose tissue from previously agreed-upon areas. This process is carried out using needles or microcannulas that allow for the correct extraction of fat.

As the fatty material is removed from inside the body, our surgeons will aesthetically shape and sculpt each area. During liposuction, the medical staff will decide whether to use an extraction pump or perform the work with a syringe.

In either case, the quality of the results obtained will not vary, and you will be able to enjoy a fully satisfactory silhouette.

It is important to note that tuberous breasts will disappear immediately, and that you will then have to wait for the area to return to normal. This means that the local swelling will decrease and the tissues will fully adapt to the new internal structure

Of course, if the surgery is complemented with breast implants, the time needed to appreciate the final results will be even longer. This period can last for about 3 months or more, by which time the implant will have settled properly inside the breasts.

The duration of liposculpture results will vary depending on each patient’s genetics and lifestyle habits. It is important to note that, although the excess fat has been removed, it can reappear very easily.

This is why, to guarantee the full preservation of our results, some care must be taken regarding diet and exercise.

In any case, our specialist plastic surgeons will provide you with the necessary instructions on nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. This way, you can prevent the fat from reappearing and enjoy your results for much longer.

Currently, we can find several alternatives to liposuction. These work under the same logic of reducing internal body fat, although none of them require body surgery to achieve results.

One of the most revolutionary methods available today is CoolSculpting, which uses cold to combat fat deposits.

On the other hand, we also find different methods that employ massage and ultrasound to eliminate fat concentrations, helping the body itself to expel this adipose tissue.

In any case, liposuction remains one of the most effective due to the direct penetration of the microcannulas and the manual remodeling work performed by the surgeon during the process.

It is important to know that during the days following liposuction, the patient will feel pain in the treated areas. In addition to this, significant swelling will be noticeable, which will gradually disappear over the following weeks

In most cases, patients are advised to take about 7 days of rest before considering resuming their activities. To help make this process easier, our medical team will prescribe pain relievers and anti-inflammatories to reduce post-operative symptoms

It is estimated that by the end of the sixth week the swelling in the affected areas will begin to disappear completely, and the final results can be observed about six months after the liposuction.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that changes in the body and silhouette won’t be visible before this time, but rather that the body will be stable enough to evaluate the results at this point.

Liposuction is not a particularly painful surgery, but it can have significant drawbacks if you don’t take proper care of yourself. Rest is vital in the days following the procedure; otherwise, you are very likely to experience sharp pain in the treated areas.

Wearing a compression garment is essential for the proper recovery of your body and the optimal preservation of the results. The medical team in charge of the operation will likely prescribe antibiotics and analgesics depending on the patient’s progress.

Before resuming your routine and returning to work, the patient should rest for at least a week. The most important thing during the post-operative period is to attend all your follow-up appointments on time and strictly follow the instructions given by your surgeons.
