What is Liposuction?
Liposuction, also known as body sculpting or lipocontouring, is a surgical technique designed to remove localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Unlike weight-loss surgery, liposuction is not intended to reduce body mass, but rather to reshape and refine areas where fat accumulation distorts the body’s natural silhouette.
Dr. César López performs liposuction using thin cannulas inserted through small, strategically placed incisions. These cannulas break down and remove fat while preserving blood vessels, connective tissue, and nerves. Depending on the patient's needs, he may use traditional suction techniques, power-assisted liposuction, or ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
Liposuction is especially effective in treating areas such as the abdomen, waist, lower back, arms, bra line, inner and outer thighs, hips, flanks, chin, and neck. It is also used in the male chest as part of gynecomastia surgery.
The procedure lasts approximately 2.5 hours, is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, and typically requires an overnight hospital stay. Initial recovery takes about 10 days, and final results are generally visible after 3 months.
- Requirements: Complete blood count, coagulation times, blood chemistry. Cardiac evaluation is required for patients over 50.
- Postoperative care: A compression garment must be worn for 6 to 8 weeks. Light walking is encouraged from day one. Strenuous activities should be avoided during the first month. Post-surgical ultrasound therapy is also recommended to support recovery.

Benefits of Liposuction
Undergoing plastic surgery with Dr. César López means more than simply refining a feature: it's about restoring balance, regaining confidence, and achieving results that feel as good as they look. Each procedure is designed not only to improve specific areas of the face or body, but also to improve overall harmony, comfort and well-being.
Defined and proportionate body contours
Liposuction improves body shape by removing pockets of fat that create imbalance or heaviness. The result is a more elegant and refined silhouette, especially when combined with the artistic approach that Dr. López is known for.
Health-related improvements
Even moderate fat removal can help reduce cardiovascular risk, improve insulin sensitivity and alleviate physical symptoms related to excess fat, such as low back pain or discomfort caused by heavy breasts.
Cicatrices discretas y recuperación rápida
Thanks to the use of small cannulas and the well-planned placement of the incisions, the scars are practically invisible. Recovery is relatively quick, and most patients return to work and their daily routines within a week.
Mayor seguridad y satisfacción personal
Many patients report feeling more confident and in control of their appearance. The ability to wear tight clothing, swimwear, or simply look in the mirror without frustration is a powerful motivator.

Do you have any questions?
We're here to help. Send us your questions and our team will answer clearly and carefully. Your comfort, safety and peace of mind are important to us.
Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No. Liposuction is not designed for weight loss. It's a contouring procedure that targets specific fat deposits that don't respond to diet or exercise.
How much fat can be removed?
Up to 10 pounds (approximately 4.5 kg) can be safely removed in a single session, depending on your BMI, health status and treatment areas. The goal is shape, not mass reduction.
What's the difference between liposuction and laser lipo?
Laser liposuction uses energy to liquefy fat and tighten skin, making it ideal for small or delicate areas. Traditional liposuction is more mechanical and suitable for larger volumes.
Can I combine liposuction with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine it with a tummy tuck or breast surgery. Dr López will design a comprehensive plan if needed.
Are liposuction results permanent?
Yes. The fat cells removed during liposuction do not grow back in the treated areas. However, maintaining long-term results depends on keeping a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle. Significant weight fluctuations can affect your body shape over time.
