Liposuction in Monrovia: Areas and Price

Yes, it's routine. Only rarely is one area treated on its own — more often several problem zones are combined, e.g. abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation our surgeons will help set the optimal scope of surgery based on your health and the result you are after.

No. Liposuction won't make you lose weight. Its aim is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape your contours. If your weight is not stable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist beforehand.

Punctures only 3–7 mm across are all that is needed, usually with no stitches. The marks are barely visible after healing and fade completely with proper care during recovery.

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 — the procedure is performed under anesthesia, either local or general depending on the scope. Afterwards mild discomfort is possible and is relieved by doctor-prescribed painkillers.

During the first 7 days, skip physical exertion and heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks wear compression garments and avoid bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Keep away from alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. Your surgeon gives every individual recommendation after surgery.

We carry out the surgery for patients 18+ with no contraindications. An upper age limit does not exist — each case is decided individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. While liposuction removes fat tissue, it does not change the skin structure that causes cellulite. Improved body contours still visibly reduce its appearance.

Most patients return to work and everyday life in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising settle by weeks 4–5, while the final result forms over 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

A strict diet isn't needed, but your nutrition matters for maintaining the result. Removed fat cells are gone for good, but the remaining ones can grow with weight gain. For a lasting result, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. 7–10 days ahead of liposuction you stop smoking, alcohol and blood-clotting medications such as aspirin. You also need pre-op tests: blood tests, an ECG, ultrasound and consultations with a GP and an anesthesiologist. Full instructions come after your first consultation.

2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling subsides, first changes appear. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed. Final contours form in 3–6 months.
