Liposuction in Mexico
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes localised fat deposits with thin cannulas inserted through tiny (3–5 mm) skin incisions. It is one of the most performed cosmetic surgeries worldwide and a foundational tool of body contouring at Argaman Plastic Surgeries Mexico.
Modern liposuction is precise, safe and minimally invasive thanks to two technologies: tumescent infiltration (a saline + epinephrine + lidocaine solution that minimises bleeding and pain) and Advanced energy-assisted technology that selectively emulsifies fat while preserving connective tissue.
Who is a good candidate?
Adults with localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise, in good general health, non-smokers (or able to stop). Liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure — it is a contouring procedure for patients close to their target weight. Skin elasticity is essential; very loose skin requires excisional surgery instead of (or in addition to) liposuction.
Expected results
The treated zone is contoured. The silhouette is more proportionate. Patients typically lose 1–2 dress sizes in the operated areas. Result is most visible at 4 to 6 months once swelling resolves and skin retracts. Permanent provided weight remains stable.
Advanced & Tumescent Technique
Two technologies make modern liposuction safer and more precise than ever before.
1. Tumescent infiltration
Before fat removal, a large volume of dilute anesthetic + epinephrine solution is infiltrated into the target tissue. This minimises bleeding (less than 1% of removed volume), provides analgesia and facilitates fat extraction.
2. Advanced energy-assisted technology
An advanced probe selectively emulsifies fat cells while sparing nerves, vessels and connective tissue. Result: smoother contour, faster recovery, better skin retraction. Particularly effective in fibrous areas (back, male chest, secondary cases).
Areas Treated
Liposuction can address virtually any anatomical zone with localised fat. The most commonly treated areas at Argaman Plastic Surgeries Mexico are:
- Submental (double chin)
- Arms (upper)
- Male chest
- Abdomen & flanks
- Upper back & bra-line
- Lower back
- Thighs (inner, outer, posterior)
Abdomen & flanks
The most frequent indication, often combined with 360 treatment of the lower back.
Thighs (inner, outer, posterior)
To refine the silhouette and improve proportion.
Arms
Often combined with arm lift in patients with skin laxity.
Back & bra-line
Particularly effective here.
Submental (double chin)
Performed under local anesthesia — quick, effective.
Male chest (gynecomastia)
Liposuction is the gold standard for fatty gynecomastia.
