Liposuction in Malaga
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits that are naturally difficult to remove from various areas of the body, such as the arms, abdomen, legs, back, waist, and other areas of the body.
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that helps eliminate localized fat deposits that don’t disappear with diet or exercise. It can be applied to different areas of the body and is performed under local, epidural, or general anesthesia, depending on the needs of each case.
This procedure improves your silhouette by removing skin and fat cells that have accumulated in the genital area and thighs. This type of procedure is safe when performed by qualified professionals. This procedure will improve your external appearance.
It’s important to keep in mind that our liposuction clinic in Malaga performs this treatment, but we always remind our patients that it’s not a cure for obesity, but rather a cosmetic surgery that requires general anesthesia and allows for the removal of fatty tissue from unwanted areas. The procedure lasts approximately an hour and a half, requiring at least two nights of bed rest. Once the surgery is performed, you can return to your daily life in approximately three weeks, and resume physical activity in three months. This type of procedure will help you improve your physical activity and personal hygiene, thus avoiding possible infections and redness that may arise.
This type of technique can be accompanied by liposuction, which will allow you to improve your body by slimming down areas of your figure that could not be eliminated through diet or physical activity.

CANDIDATES FOR LIPOSUCTION
This treatment works best for people with a stable weight and good skin elasticity. If healthy habits are maintained after the procedure, the results can be sustained long-term.
An additional benefit is that the extracted fat isn’t always discarded. In many cases, it can be reused to shape other areas of the body, such as the buttocks or face, achieving a more natural body shape.
EThis procedure is performed for people who are in good health but have accumulated body fat and want to improve their daily lives so they can engage in normal physical activity and maintain better personal hygiene. After the procedure, the patient will have two drainage tubes in place for 48 hours to prevent fluid from accumulating under the skin of the abdomen.

Techniques applied in liposuction
Traditional liposuction is the most widely used technique in plastic surgery for safely and effectively removing localized fat. It involves injecting a saline solution with local anesthesia and vasoconstrictors into the treatment area. This mixture facilitates fat extraction, reduces bleeding, and minimizes postoperative pain.
Through small incisions, thin cannulas are inserted to suction out excess fat, allowing for reshaping of the body’s contours. It is especially effective in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and hips.
The Surgical Process
The procedure can take between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the area and amount of fat to be removed. During liposuction, fluid is lost along with the fat, so it’s important to replace it to avoid complications.
After surgery, a compression bandage is placed on the treated area to help the skin adapt to the new contours and reduce swelling.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
Recovery after liposuction is gradual and generally quite manageable. During the first few days, some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal, but these are easily controlled with prescribed medication.
EIt’s essential to wear a compression garment for several weeks and avoid strenuous physical activity, at least for the first month. While changes begin to be noticeable after a few weeks, the final result is seen between three and six months, when the swelling completely disappears.
Expected Results
The results of liposuction are visible once the swelling subsides, usually after 4 to 6 weeks. The improvement in body contour is long-lasting, provided a stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits are maintained.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does liposuction help you lose weight?
No, liposuction is used to remove fat from areas that are resistant to exercise and diet.
Does it leave visible scars?
No, the scars are usually minimal and almost imperceptible, since the incisions are usually small (3 mm) and are made in discreet areas.
Can multiple areas be treated at the same time?
Yes, liposuction can be performed on multiple areas of the body at the same time as long as the surgeon deems the operation safe.
What is the price of liposuction?
The price of liposuction depends on the areas treated, the extent of the procedure, and the most appropriate surgical technique for each case. To provide you with a personalized quote and answer any questions you may have, schedule a consultation with Dr. Francisco Giraldo.
Can the removed fat grow back?
The fat removed is permanent, as fat cells do not regenerate in the treated areas. However, if the patient gains significant weight, fat can accumulate in other parts of the body.
Are the results permanent?
Liposuction results can be long-lasting, but they are not considered completely permanent unless a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
Once removed, fat cells do not regenerate in the same area. However, if the patient gains weight after surgery, fat can accumulate in other areas of the body or even in the same treated area.
Therefore, to maintain long-term results, it is essential to maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
Is the treatment painful?
There is no pain during surgery as it is performed under local or general anesthesia. The postoperative period may cause discomfort similar to muscle soreness, but this is controlled with prescribed painkillers.
