Liposuction or liposculpture
Liposuction is a procedure that allows you to sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck.
Over the last decade, liposuction has benefited from new advances and has also been given several different names such as lipolaser or vaser.
Lipolaser or vaser: is a liposuction method that reduces postoperative bruising, swelling, and pain. Because blood loss is minimized during tumescent liposuction, the use of this technique reduces the possibility of needing a blood transfusion.
These techniques help plastic surgeons provide selected patients with better results and faster recovery periods.
Liposuction is designed to shape your silhouette and reduce volume, not weight. Liposuction can remove areas of fat that do not respond to traditional methods.
Careful evaluation of your body is paramount so that you can get the best results. Elastic skin types respond better to reshaping after liposuction than less elastic skin types, where excess skin may arise after excessive liposuction.

Liposuction candidates
Careful evaluation of your body is paramount so that you can get the best results:
- Elastic skin types respond better to reshaping after liposuction than less elastic skin types, where excess skin may arise after excessive liposuction.
It is important to understand what liposuction can do for you. - The best candidates for liposuction are those with firm, elastic skin who have certain localized areas of excess fat, and who are very close to their normal body weight.
When the purpose of liposuction is to obtain fat for fat grafting, the procedure is called Lipotransfer.
Our liposuction procedures incorporate treatment for scars using PRP, and growth factors. We also offer the possibility of applying a laser treatment on the scars of the liposuction operation one week and one month after the intervention.
The combination of these two treatments improves the quality and healing time of scars.
We carry out this intervention in Palma de Mallorca.
The price of the intervention is delivered after consulting with Dr. García Ceballos.
During the consultation you will be able to see before and after photos of cases similar to yours.
If you travel or consult us from anywhere in Spain, UK or Europe you can request your telematic consultation via Skype.
It is convenient to put yourself in the hands of a specialist in Plastic cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to carry out this type of intervention.

Lipotransfer or Fat Grafting
A lipotransfer is a liposuction for fat grafting, or lipofilling.
Depending on the areas where the fat is targeted, the amount of fat to be extracted may vary. For a fat graft to be performed, there must be sufficient fat deposits.
Anesthesia: This intervention can be performed under local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the amount of fat to be extracted and the area of fat grafting.
Result: after fat transfer or fat grafting, there is an increase in volume in the grafted area that may decrease with the passage of time. Residual grease will be permanent. (*See chart)
Lipotransfer or Fat Grafting
- Liposuction: when the purpose of liposuction is to obtain fat for fat grafting, the procedure is performed with cannulas usually of a thinner diameter.
- Fat processing: once the fat has been extracted, it is purified in a closed circuit in order to reduce the risk of infection and exposure of the fat to the air. Once the clean fat is obtained, it is distributed in syringes of an adequate volume so that, later, by means of a gun, it can be deposited in different layers in the areas to be grafted.
- Fat grafting: the fat extracted in liposuction can be used as a filler by processing and injecting it; this is called lipofilling or fat grafting. Thus it can be used for breast augmentation with own fat or buttock augmentation (BBL).
The areas where fat grafts can be applied, among the most common are:
- Facial lipofilling for facial rejuvenation exclusively or combined with facelift
- For facial fillers, cheekbones, lips and/or nasolabial folds
- Lipofilling of the back of the hands
- Breast Lipofilling
- Correction of anomalies such as rippling, defects of portions of breast tissue in breast cancer, correction of irregularities after liposuction, correction of sunken eyes.
How fat grafting or lipofilling behaves:
- Fat grafting or lipofilling increases the volume of the treated areas by improving the quality of the skin.
- After grafting, there is an increase in volume that will be maintained for a period of time, after which there may be a decrease in volume. (See graphic)
BEHAVIOR OF A FAT GRAFT / NANOFAT
Once the content is stabilized, it is permanent and will vary according to the weight changes of each person.
If more volume is desired, the procedure can be repeated. the effect of this second fat grafting is cumulative, i.e. the volume obtained during the first intervention is increased again.
Our lipotransfer procedures incorporate a treatment for scars by means of PRP, growth factors. We also offer the possibility of applying a laser treatment on the scars of the lipotransfer operation one week and one month after the intervention.
The combination of these two treatments improves the quality and healing time of scars.

Liposuction is a surgical technique by which subcutaneous fat is extracted through the use of suction cannulas.
Depending on the amount of fat removed, the weight lost after liposuction can vary. It should be taken into account that fat is an insulating tissue for the organism that allows it not to lose heat. As an insulator, it weighs relatively less than it takes up.
In short, if you are overweight and you are thinking of having liposuction to lose kilos, you will not achieve a great loss.
The results of liposuction are permanent. If you gain weight after liposuction, the liposuctioned areas will gain less weight than the untreated areas.
Liposuction is a unique procedure although there are auxiliary techniques to perform it, among them we find variable ultrasound liposuction (VASER), laser assisted liposuction, water assisted liposuction (WAL).
Laser liposuction is laser-assisted liposuction. During this procedure, the fat is dissolved by means of a laser light fiber. Once the fat has been diluted, it is extracted using traditional liposuction cannulas. In some cases, where the amount of fat is minimal, extraction by traditional cannula can be avoided.
Proponents of laser liposuction defend it by explaining that it produces greater skin retraction and less trauma to the liposuctioned area. Scientific studies have not been able to prove that this effect is real*. It should be noted that a traditional liposuction is also necessary for the definition of laser-assisted liposuction.
Laser-assisted liposuction takes a longer surgical time, since the laser cannula must be passed first and then the removal is performed in the traditional way.

The number of liposuctions that can be performed in one area will depend on the residual fat.
The fat from liposuction is usually discarded although in those cases where the patient is a candidate for fat grafting it can be used. Thus we can perform lipofilling on the face, breasts, buttocks and back of the hands on a more regular basis.
A lipotransfer is liposuction for fat grafting, or lipofilling.
Before having a lipoblastoplasty you should know that you need to have sufficient fat deposits so that it can be extracted and used.
After fat grafting, there is an increase in volume in the grafted area that may decrease over time. Residual grease will be permanent.
The best way to obtain a good result after liposuction is to have your procedure performed in a cautious manner by a qualified professional.after liposuction is beneficial to apply a lymphatic drainage with radiofrequency that will facilitate the postoperative edemaIgualmente compression during this period is important by means of an orthopedic girdle.
Although there is no defined maximum amount of fat to be removed in liposuction, it is advisable not to undergo large liposuction procedures (above 2 liters) as this increases the overall complications of the procedure.
The results of liposuction can be perceived immediately, although the definitive results will appear from the sixth or seventh month after the intervention.
