The Liposuction in Girona is the technique of Cosmetic surgery of the body A reference for definitively eliminating localised fat that doesn't disappear with diet or exercise, and for reshaping areas such as the abdomen, waist, saddlebags, thighs, arms or double chin. It is performed using fine cannulas connected to a suction system, guided by a Plastic surgeon, to sculpt the silhouette with precision. It is not a weight-loss technique: it is a way to reduce specific fat accumulations and harmonise the figure. Like any surgical intervention, it requires a Individual medical assessment that confirms the correct indication, technique, and type of anaesthesia.
Liposuction (also called lipoaspiration or liposculpture) is a Surgical technique which allows for the definitive removal of accumulated fat in specific areas of the body to achieve a more harmonious silhouette and improve body contour. Through Minimal incisions (usually a few millimetres, concealed in natural folds or lines) thin cannulae are inserted which, connected to a vacuum aspiration unit, suction and shape the fatty tissue. The aim is not just to "remove lumps", but to sculpt the figure respecting its proportion.
It is important to understand what No is liposuction: it is not a weight-loss treatment or a solution for obesity. It is intended for stubborn fat in patients with a weight close to their ideal weight, good skin quality and good muscle tone. It also does not correct cellulite or skin laxity on its own.
Liposuction techniques
Under the term "liposuction" several techniques coexist. On this page, we focus on classic surgical liposuction; the specific choice is determined by the surgeon according to the area, the volume to be removed, and the characteristics of your skin.
It is the surgical technique of vacuum-assisted aspiration. The cannula is moved manually to dislodge and suction fat. It is the most validated and versatile technique, with predictable results when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Surgical procedure · cannula and vacuum aspirationBefore suction, a solution (saline with local anaesthetic and vasoconstrictor) is infiltrated into the area, which swells the fatty tissue, reduces bleeding and makes extraction more homogeneous and safe.
Standard practice in modern liposuctionThere are variants that "prepare" the fat before aspiration using laser or ultrasound energy, to emulsify it and facilitate its extraction. When the objective is a high definition of muscle relief by means of ultrasound, the reference technique is the Vaser liposuction, which has its own page.
For definition and selective sculptingWhen fat is moderate and the aim is to avoid the operating theatre and anaesthesia, there is non-surgical liposuction, a cosmetic medicine approach with minimal recovery. It does not replace surgical liposuction, but can be an option for contour touch-ups.
Aesthetic medicine · non-surgicalIdeal candidate
Liposuction is indicated for people who, broadly speaking, meet these conditions. The definitive indication is confirmed by the plastic surgeon after an individual assessment.
They present localised fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise in specific areas.
It is not indicated for the treatment of overweight or obesity, but rather for contouring adjustments.

With skin elasticity and retractability and adequate muscle tone for a good result.
They have realistic expectations of what the technique can contribute in their specific case.

Liposuction can be used to treat practically any area with localised fat: abdomen (upper and lower) y belt; pencil cases and hips (flanks); Thighs (internal and external) and knees; arms; Back Michelin tyres; Double chin and neck; and buttocks and the flank area. In many cases, several areas are combined in the same procedure to harmonise the overall appearance. The extracted fat can, in selected cases, be reused through body lipofilling to add volume to other areas.
The intervention
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that is planned on a personalised basis depending on the number of areas and the volume of fat to be removed. The type of anaesthesia is chosen based on the complexity; the decision always rests with the medical-surgical team.
The Type of anaesthetic it depends on the areas and the volume to be treated: Local anaesthetic for small, localized areas (no entry); local with sedation For moderately sized areas (no income); Epidural for trunk or leg areas (without admission or with 24h); and General when treating multiple areas or a larger volume (with 24-hour entry).
The incisions are minimal and placed as discreetly as possible, frequently in folds or contour lines. The duration depends on the areas treated. At the end, a compression garment (girdle) which is part of the post-operative period.
As it is a surgery, it is performed in operating theatre. According to the anaesthetic and treated volume, it can be Outpatient (day case) to require a 24-hour access. The decision on anaesthesia and admission always lies with the medical-surgical team following assessment.
Risks and safety
Like any surgery, liposuction is not without its risks, although in the hands of a plastic surgeon and with appropriate patient selection, it is a safe procedure. Among the possible effects and risks are: Haematomas and inflammation (usual and temporary), Seromas (fluid build-up), temporary disturbances of sensation, Irregularities of the contour, asymmetries, infection or scarring at the incision sites, and anaesthetic risks. A rigorous preoperative assessment, the correct technique, and adherence to postoperative care minimise these risks. The medical team will inform you in detail through the consent form.
Results and permanence
The results are progressively seen as the inflammation subsides, and the Final result consolidates over a few months, when the skin retracts and the contour stabilises. Liposuction removes fat cells from the treated area, and those cells They do not regeneratein that sense, the reduction is definitive. However, if after the intervention there is a significant weight gain, the remaining fat can grow and alter the result. For this reason, maintaining healthy habits (balanced diet and physical activity) is essential to preserve the achieved silhouette.
