Comparison
Liposuction techniques
We use two liposuction techniques: tumescent (classic) and VASER (ultrasound). Compare the goal, the indications and the anaesthesia to choose the right technique together with your surgeon.
Tumescent liposuction
A special solution loosens fat for removal through a thin cannula
from $1,200
- Main goal
- Removal of local fat with minimal blood loss
- When it is done
- Abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, arms, chin
- Anaesthesia and stay
- Local or general anaesthesia, home the same day or after 1 day
VASER liposuction
Ultrasound breaks down fat cells before vacuum removal
Price at consultation
- Main goal
- Defined muscle relief and body contouring
- When it is done
- Athletic abs and delicate areas
- Anaesthesia and stay
- Local or general anaesthesia, 1–4 hours of surgery
The benefits and recovery times shown are averaged for each technique and given for guidance: the scope of correction and rehabilitation depend on your anatomy and individual features, and the surgeon confirms them at the consultation.
At the consultation the surgeon draws up a plan for your case and explains how your liposuction will go.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Book a consultationHow it works
From consultation —
to your new contour
An agreed treatment plan, careful monitoring after surgery and post-op check-ups.
1Consultation
and the surgical plan
The surgeon listens to your wishes, assesses the fat deposits and skin tone and rules out contraindications. A hormonal screening is also ordered — it helps predict the long-term result.
2Booking the date
of surgery
We reserve a surgery date for you: the deposit can be paid by card at the clinic or online by bank transfer. The terms are fixed in the contract for medical services
3Check-up before
surgery
Blood tests (complete count, coagulation panel, biochemistry, infections), an ECG, a chest X-ray and, if needed, a GP consultation. All tests can be done at the clinic with no waiting.
4Surgery
Marking the areas and fitting compression garments. Under local or general anaesthesia the surgeon removes fat through 3–5 mm micro-punctures — from 1 hour for small areas to 3–4 hours for a combined procedure.
5Waking up
and monitoring
With local anaesthesia you go home 3–4 hours after surgery; with general anaesthesia you stay one day in a comfortable ward under medical supervision.
6Recovery
Compression garments for 30–45 days. First changes show at 2 weeks, once swelling subsides; the final result forms in 3–6 months. Check-ups at 7 days, 3 and 6 months.
Recovery after liposuction
After tumescent liposuction, recovery is much shorter than after a conventional procedure. Most patients return to work within 7–10 days. In the first week, mild swelling and a raised temperature are possible — a normal response to surgery. Compression garments are worn for 30–45 days: they fix the new contours and speed up tissue recovery. In the first month, bathhouse, sauna, pool and intense sport are off-limits. For the best result and faster recovery we recommend lymphatic drainage massage, pressotherapy and a gradual return to activity. First visible changes show 2 weeks after surgery, when the main swelling subsides; the final result forms in 3–6 months.
Post-op check-ups
After 7 days, at 3 months and at 6 months. Until the end of the year, get a post-surgery consultation with your surgeon to review results and get more information, at the clinic's expense.
Advantages
What makes patients choose City Medical Centre
Just find out — you lose nothing
At the consultation we discuss your wishes and assess the fat deposits and skin tone. Before surgery an endocrinologist rules out hormonal causes of the fat deposits — this improves the long-term result.
We stay with you after surgery
The surgeon follows your recovery and the new body contour at check-ups after 7 days, 3 and 6 months. Check-ups, dressings and aftercare advice are already included in the price of surgery.
A beautiful contour that fits your figure
Tumescent and VASER techniques, micro-incisions of 3–5 mm and precise volume control. Our aim is a smooth contour that keeps the natural proportions of your body.
Your schedule is our priority
We respect your time: we work 24/7, with easy booking and a personal approach — we adapt to your pace.
Fixed prices
After the consultation the surgeon defines the areas and the scope of surgery, and you get a clear price fixed in the contract — no hidden extras.
Round-the-clock care after surgery
With general anaesthesia recovery starts in a comfortable hospital ward under round-the-clock nursing care. The stay and meals are already included in the price.
FAQ
We answer what
people ask before booking
Yes. Lipo is the short name for liposuction: the surgeon removes local fat deposits from chosen areas, such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs. It is not a weight loss method.
Yes, the abdomen and flanks are among the most common areas. Liposuction removes stubborn local fat that does not go with diet and exercise; the surgeon plans the areas with you at the consultation.
Yes, it is common practice. Patients seldom treat just one area; more often they combine several problem zones, for example abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will help you choose the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, based on your health and desired result.
No, liposuction is not a way to lose weight. It removes local fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise and reshapes body contours. With an unstable weight, you should first see a nutritionist or endocrinologist.
The surgery is done through punctures only 3–5 mm across — they usually need no stitches. Once healed, the marks are barely visible. With proper care during recovery they fade completely.
The surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor before surgery. Skin in good condition tightens on its own and follows the new contours. If tone is reduced or there are stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.
No — the procedure is done under anaesthesia (local or general, depending on the scope). After surgery mild discomfort is possible; it is relieved with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
No physical exertion or lifting heavy things for the first 7 days. Wear compression garments for 4–6 weeks and stay away from the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Avoid alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. After surgery your surgeon gives you all individual recommendations.
The surgery is for patients aged 18+ without contraindications. As for an upper limit, there is none: we decide individually after an examination and health check.
Not directly. Liposuction removes fat tissue but doesn't change the skin structure behind cellulite. Even so, better body contours visibly reduce how it looks.
Most patients are back to work and daily life in 7–10 days. By weeks 4–5 the swelling and bruising are gone. After 3–6 months, when the tissues fully adapt, the final result is formed.
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. You need to stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction, and pass pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. All instructions are provided after your first consultation.
First changes appear 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides. The interim result is evaluated at 1.5–2 months; final contours form within 3–6 months.

Liposuction from San Diego: what patients ask us
I have an event coming up. When should I have liposuction?
Plan the operation 4–6 weeks before the date at the latest: compression is worn for 4–6 weeks and swelling and bruising usually fade by weeks 4–5. The final shape takes 3–6 months.
Can I choose the date of my liposuction consultation from San Diego?
Yes. Write to us with the dates that suit you. You can start the free first consultation online, so you can do it from home: after the doctor reviews your photos, the clinic offers its nearest free dates for the consultation and for surgery.
What do I need to send to get a liposuction quote?
Clear photos of each area you want treated (front and side, no filters), your age, height and weight, and any previous surgeries or important health details. Without photos any figure would only be a guess, so the price is confirmed after the doctor has seen them.
When can I get back to work in San Diego after liposuction?
With local anaesthesia you usually go home 3–4 hours after surgery; with general anaesthesia you stay one day. Heavy lifting and exertion are off for the first 7 days, and the doctor sets the check-up date.
Can I get a liposuction consultation without leaving San Diego?
Yes. The first consultation is free and starts online: send photos of the areas on Telegram or WhatsApp, and the doctor reviews them and tells you which technique and how many areas make sense. You get an answer before anything is booked.
How many areas can be treated in one liposuction session?
Several areas are often treated in one operation, for example arms and inner thighs, or abdomen and flanks. The surgeon decides how many are reasonable for you after reviewing your photos and health. Each area is priced separately from $1,200, so two areas start from $2,400.
