Tumescent and VASER Liposuction in San Antonio

Yes, this is normal practice. A single area alone is rarely treated: patients more commonly combine problem zones, e.g. the abdomen and flanks, or the inner and outer thighs. At the consultation, our surgeons will help you settle on the optimal scope of surgery for your health and desired result.

No. Liposuction is not about weight loss. It removes stubborn local fat deposits that diet and exercise can't shift and reshapes body contours. If your weight is unstable, consult a nutritionist or endocrinologist first.

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.

Before surgery, skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always assessed by the surgeon. Healthy skin tightens by itself to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin beforehand.

No, it doesn't hurt: the procedure is under anesthesia (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild discomfort after surgery can occur and is relieved with painkillers the doctor prescribes.

For the first 7 days, no physical exertion or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks, wear compression garments and avoid the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Alcohol and tanning beds are off-limits for at least a month. Your surgeon gives all individual recommendations 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. Liposuction deals with fat tissue, not with the skin structure behind cellulite. Still, better body contours make it visibly less apparent.

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.

A strict diet is not required; still, nutrition matters if you want to keep the result. Removed fat cells never return, but remaining ones can expand when you gain weight. A balanced diet and regular physical activity are our recommendation for lasting results.

Yes. For 7–10 days before liposuction, no smoking, no alcohol and no medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). Pre-operative tests are required too — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You receive all instructions after the 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.
