Did Noemí Salazar have liposuction? Yes, and she explained why herself

Salazar explained her absence from social media in an Instagram post, and the Spanish daily 20minutos carried her words on 2 April 2024: “This has been the reason for my disappearance these days. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.” She said she had wanted for a long time to correct the diastasis in her abdomen and to have a liposuction, that she had not wanted to say anything “until everything went well”, and that not even her family knew.

Many women notice after pregnancy that the abdomen does not return to its old shape, however much they train. Salazar named the two separate problems behind that: the muscles that had moved apart, and the fat that would not go. She was also honest about the hard first week and the weeks of wound care, instead of showing only the final picture.

Liposuction removes localised fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise, most often from the abdomen, flanks, thighs or arms. A thin cannula breaks up and suctions out fat cells through small incisions. It is not a treatment for general weight loss. The operation takes from about an hour for small areas to 3–4 hours for a combined procedure, under local or general anaesthesia depending on the scope.

Liposuction suits people close to a stable weight who have specific areas of fat that do not change with training. After pregnancy, the surgeon also checks the skin and the abdominal wall, because loose skin or a diastasis may need a different approach.

With general anaesthesia the patient stays one day in hospital under observation; with local anaesthesia discharge is a few hours after surgery. The treated area is swollen and bruised for the first days, and a compression garment supports healing. Most patients return to work and their usual routine within 7–10 days, although swelling takes several weeks to settle.

City Medical Centre performs liposuction for international patients, with a free first consultation that can start online. The surgeon reviews the areas of concern, explains which approach fits and gives a final price, from $1,200 depending on the zones treated, which is then fixed in the contract.
