Liposuction of Problem Areas in El Paso

Yes, standard practice. Few patients treat just a single area; most combine several problem zones — abdomen and flanks, for example, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, taking into account your health and desired result.

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.

The surgeon works through punctures only 3–7 mm across — usually no stitches needed. When they heal, the marks are barely visible, and proper care during recovery makes them fade completely.

The surgeon always assesses tone, elasticity and turgor of the skin before surgery. In good condition, the skin tightens on its own and follows the new contours. If there are stretch marks or reduced tone, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No, you are under anesthesia during the procedure — local or general, depending on the scope. After surgery there may be mild discomfort, relieved by painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

The first 7 days: no exertion and no heavy lifting. 4–6 weeks: compression garments, with no bathhouse, sauna, pool or active sport. At least a month without alcohol or tanning beds. All individual recommendations come from your surgeon after surgery.

From 18+ and without contraindications, we perform the surgery. No upper age limit: the decision is individual and follows an examination and assessment of your health.

Not directly. The skin structure that causes cellulite is not changed by liposuction, which removes fat tissue. Yet the improved contours visibly reduce its appearance.

Usual routine and work: for most patients, in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising: resolved by weeks 4–5. Final result: formed in 3–6 months, once the tissues fully adapt.

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 before liposuction, stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). You also need pre-operative tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, and GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You'll receive all instructions after your first consultation.

First changes show 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides. The interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months. The final contours form in 3–6 months.
