Liposuction of Problem Areas in Zaragoza

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. It is not a weight-loss method. Liposuction removes local fat deposits that stay despite diet and exercise, reshaping body contours. When weight is unstable, a nutritionist or endocrinologist should be seen 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.

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. It is done under local or general anesthesia, depending on the scope. You may feel mild discomfort afterwards, which painkillers prescribed by the doctor relieve.

For 7 days after surgery avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting. Keep compression garments on for 4–6 weeks and avoid the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sports. Alcohol and tanning beds are not allowed for at least a month. All individual advice is given by your surgeon after surgery.

Surgery is performed for patients 18+ without contraindications. There's no upper age limit: each decision is individual, after an examination and assessment of health.

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.

In 7–10 days most patients return to work and their normal routine. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5, and the final result forms in 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. 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.

You'll see the first changes 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides. The interim result is judged at 1.5–2 months; the final contours take 3–6 months to form.
