Liposuction and Liposculpture in Madrid

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery operation that is performed to Reshape areas with localized fat accumulations.

It is not a weight loss treatment, but rather an intervention designed for those people whose body contour is affected by fat and who cannot eliminate it by following a diet, exercising or undergoing other aesthetic treatments.

To eliminate this accumulation of fat in our patients, Dr. Gustavo Sordo uses the technique called “tumescent liposuction with superficial technique”, which is characterized by having fewer side effects than other techniques using blunt-tip microcannulas. And how does it benefit?

Where side effects are minimal and recovery time is greatly reduced:

Less bruising occurs postoperatively due to tumescent infiltration.
Since there are no large incisions, drains are not usually used.
It gives us the possibility of using the extracted fat to augment other areas: chest, buttocks, etc.
More comfortable and shorter postoperative period

From preparation to recovery, we are with you every step of the way, providing you with all the information and care to make this change as positive and rewarding as possible, with a post-operative period that will allow you to return to your routine quickly, always maintaining a close and professional relationship.

Lipotransfer or lipofilling in Madrid

Lipofilling is a cosmetic surgery operation that allows you to give volume to parts of your body with your own body fatTo do this, it is necessary to extract this fat without damaging the cells, something that Dr. Sordo achieves by previously performing tumescent liposuction.

For both the extraction of fat and its introduction into the areas to be treated, Dr. Sordo uses some Atraumatic microcannulas to reduce incision size and bruisingIn addition, after the intervention, we will treat the scars with laser to reduce them by up to 30%.

And what are the advantages of this type of body operation?

Fewer side effects than other techniques used.
Less bruising occurs postoperatively due to tumescent infiltration.
Since there are no large incisions, drains are not usually used.
It gives us the possibility of using the extracted fat to augment other areas: chest, buttocks, etc.
More comfortable and shorter postoperative period

With lipofilling, fat is also treated on two levels: deep and shallow. Working on a superficial level allows the skin to retract and generate traction vectors that improve the result.

The results are visible quickly and we will be able to fully appreciate them one month after the intervention.

Abdominoplasty in Madrid

Abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgery operation thanks to which we can reshape your abdomen and waist, removing excess skin and fatIn addition, we eliminate flaccidity in the muscles.

We especially recommend it to those people who have suffered a major weight change (such as pregnancies) and who, despite diets or exercise, are unable to regain their figure.

During the first consultation, we will also assess whether it is necessary an umbilicoplasty (an operation to change the shape, size or position of the navel), or perform a flank liposuction to improve the silhouette.

In addition to the aesthetic advantages, we can correct other pathologies:

Abdominal hernia: Many patients associate umbilical or abdominal hernias, abdominoplasty is the perfect time to take advantage and correct them.
Rectus diastasis: The abdominal muscles separate after pregnancy, causing discomfort and abdominal bulging. This is corrected by closing the space between the muscles during surgery.
Back pain reduction: we compensate for the loss of muscle mass and improve abdominal support.
Postural improvement: By strengthening the abdominal muscles and relieving back pain, better spinal support is provided, which improves posture.

After the operation, we will cover the area with a Compression belt that protects the area from bumps and friction and helps reduce inflammation and that you will have to wear 24 hours a day for approximately four weeks (except during showers and cures).
The results of abdominoplasty are visible quickly and can be fully appreciated one month after the procedure.

But your recovery is faster is directly related to your physical condition and that you practice gentle exercise to reduce inflammation and prevent blood clots from forming.

Buttock augmentation in Madrid

Gluteoplasty or buttock augmentation is a cosmetic surgery operation that is performed to modify the contour or give volume to the buttocksDr. Sordo performs it using the patients' own fat, which is extracted from different areas with lipofilling or liposculpture.

As always, we begin with an initial consultation in which we will learn about your goals and study your anatomy to ensure a natural result that suits your body and meets your expectations, among other advantages:

We achieve excellent and immediate results, which are definitive after just one month.
The scars are minimal because fine suction cannulas are used.
The fat grafts are gradually deposited in the recipient area until that the desired volume is obtained.
There is no risk of prosthesis rejection, because they are not used.

After buttock surgery or gluteoplasty, we will cover the area with a compression girdle to protect the area from bumps and friction and help reduce inflammation. You will need to wear it 24 hours a day for approximately four weeks (except during showers and dressings).

In addition, you should avoid resting on the area where the fat has been injected, as it could be reabsorbed more than usual if the area is under pressure.

Gynecomastia in Madrid

Gynecomastia is a cosmetic surgery operation exclusive to men thanks to which We can reshape the breast and reduce its volume.

During your first consultation at our clinic in Madrid, Dr. Sordo performs a check-up and studies what your typology of gynecomastia, since there are two factors that influence breast growth in a man, so we have two ways to approach it:

Accumulation of fat in the chest: In this case we will perform tumescent liposuction to eliminate the fat cells responsible for breast volume.

In this gynecomastia operation we do not have glandular tissue.

Excessive growth of glandular tissue: For this pathology, in addition to liposuction, the glands must be removed, which are a fibrous tissue, harder and more difficult to eliminate.

In most cases, we will combine both treatments to achieve a better result.

After the operation, we will cover the area with a compressive and adaptable garment that protects the area from bumps and friction and helps reduce inflammation.

Once you are at home, you should lead an active life, but without overexertion, especially not doing exercises or activities involving the pectoral muscle. You may feel discomfort and bruises may appear, which will gradually disappear.

body contour

Body surgery focuses on improving physical appearance, correcting imperfections and reshaping various areas of the body to achieve a more harmonious figure in line with what our patients desire.

To reshape the body contour We apply techniques such as liposuction to different areas of the body to get rid of those fat deposits that They do not respond to diet or exercise: specific areas such as the flanks, saddlebags, and inner thighs and knees.

And lipofilling takes advantage of the fat extracted through tumescent liposuction to process it and re-inject it into areas that require more volume, such as the buttocks or the chest, thus facilitating a general aesthetic balance.

The expected results of these procedures include a more defined and harmonious silhouette, with less fat accumulation and an increase in the treated areas that needed more volume.

Patients can observe how their figure acquires softer and more natural curves, and how their body proportions are improved. The success of these interventions is measured not only by the aesthetic improvement, but also by the positive impact on the patient's self-esteem and confidence, helping them to feel better about themselves and their appearance.

Techniques used in body procedures

A body operation is a procedure that requires recovery time. Dr. Sordo always seeks to apply the latest technological advances to ensure that the techniques used in our clinic in Madrid are effective, which minimize side effects and recovery time. In addition, of course, we always customize treatments according to the specific needs of each patient.

The use of Blunt-tip microcannulas in tumescent liposuction, for example, and the Laser scar treatment in lipofilling These are examples of how we prioritize natural and safe aesthetic results, but also how we ensure that our patients return to their normal lives in the shortest possible time.

However, in other procedures such as abdominoplasty we cannot do without drains or compression girdles, and these are procedures whose complete recovery requires a few weeks. But we always provide you with all the necessary information so that you know What to expect every step of the way, from the first consultation until one year after your operation, which is when we will discharge you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Body Surgery

How long does recovery take after body cosmetic surgery?

It is difficult to give a single answer to this question.

Due to the number of different techniques we use in body plastic surgery, recovery time may vary slightly from one procedure to another. Your initial condition also has an influence.

Some require less time off work, such as liposuction, and others have a slower recovery time that can last up to four weeks to return to a normal life, as is the case with an abdominoplasty.

What are the risks and complications associated with body cosmetic surgery?

In principle, the same complications as in any other type of surgery (infection, hematoma, bleeding, etc.). However, the appearance of this type of complication is exceptional.

In interventions in which we use your own fat, it cannot be rejected as it is your own tissue, but the drawback is that the percentage of graft that remains can vary within a certain range.

How can I properly prepare for my body cosmetic surgery?

It may seem obvious, but the first thing you should do is make sure that the professional in question is duly qualified and accredited as a Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgeon and also that the center where you are going to have the surgery is officially registered.

Next, you need to establish a direct relationship with the surgeon.

Make sure that you have spoken and that he/she has clarified all the relevant aspects, that he/she has explained, diagnosed and personalized all kinds of details about the intervention. In addition, you will have to sign a series of informed consent documents and photos are usually taken.

Finally, you may need to change some habits in order to improve the conditions under which you will be operated on (quitting smoking, taking certain medications, regulating your body weight if it is excessive, taking care of your diet, etc.).

We generally use anti-hematoma guidelines 15 days before and 15 days after the intervention, but in addition, at Dr. Gustavo Sordo's office we will give you all the guidelines to follow for your body operation.

How long do the results of body cosmetic surgery last?

Some cosmetic surgeries offer temporary or changing results, but this doesn't mean they are short-lived; in fact, they can last for years, even decades, with proper care.

For example, if you are wondering about liposuction, its lasting effect will depend on maintaining a stable weight post-intervention; the treated areas will not accumulate fat as easily as before, as long as you take care of your figure.

Abdominoplasty also stands out for its results, which can be permanent if significant weight fluctuations are avoided.

As for breast surgeries such as breast augmentation, their longevity is remarkable, although it may be conditioned by the need to replace the implants at some point, given their useful life and the variations in breast tissue.

It is essential to recognize that maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight stability are key factors to prolong the benefits of any body aesthetic procedure.

At Dr. Sordo's clinic we are at your disposal to guide you on how to maximize and maintain long-term results. Do not hesitate to contact us so we can give you more information and personalized advice.

Is it possible to combine several cosmetic body surgery procedures in a single intervention?

Of course. In fact, not only is it possible, but many of the surgeries we perform at Dr. Gustavo Sordo's clinic are combinations of several techniques.

For example, for lipofilling, we will first perform tumescent liposuction and then reintroduce the extracted fatty tissue to volumize those areas of your body that require filling.

It is very common in our clinic to combine ultrasonic rhinoplasty with breast augmentation, since these are the two surgeries in which we are most specialized.

In addition, it is usually a comprehensive solution, more affordable and with a shorter recovery time than if you were to perform the operations separately, but we always need Dr. Gustavo Sordo to diagnose you first to decide if you can undergo several techniques to improve your figure.

Do you use general anesthesia? Is it safe?

Yes. We use “TIVA” (Total Intravenous Anesthesia), a new technique that does not use anesthetic gases and will not cause headaches, vomiting, or nausea.

It is the safest anaesthetic technique currently available, with which you will be fully monitored and controlled. In addition, we have had Dr. Bourgeois, our own anaesthetist, on our team for over 15 years. You can read more about TIVA anaesthesia in this article.

What is the difference between liposuction and abdominoplasty?

Liposuction and abdominoplasty are two cosmetic body surgery techniques that can be complementary.

Liposuction is perfect for those looking to eliminate localized fat in specific areas of the body, especially when it no longer responds to exercise or diet. In addition, it can be performed on any area of the body where we have excess fat.

Abdominoplasty is a technique that addresses excess skin following a major weight change (e.g. pregnancy) and muscle laxity or even separation of the abdominal muscles.

With an abdominoplasty we manage to tighten the muscles and the skin, and it is a technique that we can combine with liposuction to, in the same intervention, also extract the excess subcutaneous fat from both the abdomen and flanks, thus completing the abdominoplasty and further enhancing the figure and the result of the operation.

What guarantees and post-operative services does the clinic offer?

Each body surgery technique has a different postoperative period, but one of the things that most characterizes us at Dr. Gustavo Sordo's clinic is making almost all postoperative periods an easy path with a quick recovery, which allows patients to return to their social and work lives in a short time.

After any surgery, you must follow the medication guidelines and postoperative advice that we give you: how to care for your scar, taking painkillers and antibiotics, etc.

In many cases, you will need a compression garment or girdle that you will need to wear for a month (and only take it off when showering). In addition, we recommend that you do some light physical activity (especially walking) from the first day.

We do postoperative follow-up for one year to ensure that everything is going correctly.

A week after the intervention, we carry out the first treatment. After a month we will be able to see the result, although it will not be definitive (we will have to wait a year) and we will decide if you need to continue wearing your pressure therapy garment.

We see you again at 6 months, and finally at 12 months, when we do a before and after photo comparison, and conclude the follow-up.

When will I be able to see the final results of my body cosmetic surgery?

Generally, after a month you will be able to see a result of your surgery very similar to the final one, although you may still have some swelling that will continue to decrease over the months as the improvement continues to increase.

At our clinic in Madrid we monitor you for a full year, to ensure that everything is going as it should: a week after the operation, we do the first dressing and check-up, making sure that everything is fine. After a month we will be able to see the result quite clearly and we will decide if you need to continue wearing your pressure therapy garment.

We will see you again at 6 months, and finally at 12 months, when we will do a before and after photo comparison, and conclude the follow-up.
