Liposuction and Liposculpture in Madrid
Discover the exceptional experience of liposuction and liposculpture in Madrid from the prestigious plastic surgeon, Dr. Gustavo Sordo. At our clinic, we stand out for our specialized approach to the superficial tumescent technique, which we masterfully employ to sculpt and define the desired figure of our patients.

The best liposuction technique is the " superficial tumescent " technique. It involves injecting a special solution into the treatment area, which facilitates the breakdown of fat cells and their subsequent removal . This advanced technique has become the preferred option for those who wish to improve their body appearance and regain their self-confidence.
In this way, we can precisely and effectively eliminate excess localized fat in specific areas of the body , such as the abdomen, thighs, hips or arms, sculpting the figure naturally and giving our patients a more defined and uniform appearance.
What is tumescent liposuction?
Advantages of tumescent liposuction
Tumescent infiltration liposuction is distinguished by having fewer side effects compared to other traditional techniques used.
This is due to the use of blunt-tipped microcannulas during liposuction operations performed by Dr. Gustavo Sordo.
These microcannulas allow for gentle insertion into the patient's body, reducing the risk of bruising in the treated area and shortening postoperative recovery time.
If you decide to undergo liposuction at Dr. Sordo's clinic, you will be choosing an advanced technique that offers multiple benefits compared to more traditional methods:
⇒ Fewer bruises in the postoperative period thanks to tumescent infiltration.
⇒ The need for drains is avoided due to the absence of large incisions.
⇒ Possibility of using the extracted fat to augment other areas of the body, such as the breasts or buttocks (lipofilling).
⇒ Very small scars , since the incisions are minuscule.
Today, the vast majority of our liposuction procedures involve reusing the extracted fat to shape and add volume to other areas of the body, which creates a noticeably improved result and a better sculpted figure, because uneven areas are filled in.
This approach would not be possible if the fat were destroyed using techniques such as lasers or ultrasound, which are not kind to the adipocyte or fat cell.

Although the change is aesthetic, we know that it is a deeper need. We always take into account your anatomy so that the result is proportionate, natural and beautiful. So that you look good and continue being you.
In what areas can liposuction be performed?
At Dr. Sordo's clinic in Madrid, liposuction can be performed on various areas of the body, including:
⇒ Abdomen: Liposuction can help define the abdominal contour by removing excess fat and sculpting a more defined waist.
⇒ Thighs: Liposuction can be performed on the inner and outer areas of the thighs to remove fat deposits and achieve a more streamlined and toned appearance.
⇒ Hips: Liposuction can eliminate bulges or "love handles" on the hips, commonly called "saddlebags", creating a smoother and more sculpted silhouette.
⇒ Arms: Liposuction can reduce excess fat in the arms, providing a more contoured and toned appearance. We can eliminate the so-called "bat wings" from your arms, that is, the sagging tissue in the triceps.
⇒ Back: Liposuction can be performed on the back to treat excess fat and improve the overall appearance of the upper body, thus sculpting a more defined back.
⇒ Chin and neck: Liposuction in this area can help define the jawline by removing excess fat and improving the contour of the chin and neck. We can eliminate the double chin that bothers some patients.
We will analyze your anatomy and discuss your expectations to decide which type of liposuction is the most suitable option for you.
It is essential to keep in mind that liposuction should be performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, so that the result is good and respectful of health.
Dr. Gustavo Sordo, with his vast experience and careful approach, offers exceptional service in the field of liposuction, seeking an aesthetic and safe result for each patient.
What do we take into account before liposuction in Madrid?
Before undergoing liposculpture in Madrid with Dr. Gustavo Sordo , we focus on several factors, always keeping in mind the most important thing, the patient's safety:
⇒ Candidate Evaluation: We conduct a thorough medical evaluation of each patient, considering their medical history, overall health, and any pre-existing conditions that may affect the procedure. Dr. Gustavo Sordo ensures that each patient is a suitable candidate for liposculpture and can undergo the procedure safely.
⇒ Discussion of expectations: We maintain open and transparent communication with our patients to understand their expectations and aesthetic goals. We will discuss in detail what results are realistic and achievable with liposculpture, ensuring that appropriate expectations are set before the body contouring procedure.
⇒ Problem Area Assessment: We identify the specific areas of the body that the patient wishes to improve with liposculpture. Dr. Gustavo Sordo assesses the amount and distribution of fat, as well as the quality of the skin in these areas, to design a personalized treatment plan that addresses each patient's individual needs.
⇒ Skin analysis: We assess the elasticity and quality of the skin in the areas to be treated to predict how the skin will respond to the removal of localized fat. If necessary, complementary treatments may be recommended to improve the skin's appearance after liposculpture.
It is essential that each step is meticulously considered and adapted to the individual needs of each patient, so that the liposculpture performed by Dr. Gustavo Sordo in Madrid matches what has been discussed in the consultation.
Prices for liposculpture or liposuction in Madrid
At our clinic, we understand that each patient is unique and therefore all quotes are personalized. It is necessary to evaluate you individually in order to prepare an accurate and detailed quote.
The price of liposuction may vary depending on the complexity of the case and other factors, such as the existence of previous surgeries.
So the price of liposuction varies depending on the areas treated. It can range from €6.000 (for small areas of the body) to €9.000 (for larger areas).
This price includes all the elements necessary for the operation, ensuring a complete and safe procedure.
There are also other factors that can influence the final price of liposuction:
⇒ Location of the area to be treated: Some areas of the body may be more complicated to treat than others, which can affect the time and difficulty of the procedure, thus influencing the price.
⇒ Size of the area to be treated: The amount of fat that needs to be removed can vary significantly from patient to patient. The larger the area to be treated, the higher the price is likely to be due to the amount of work required.
⇒ Medical team fees: In addition to the surgeon's fees, there may be other medical professionals involved in the procedure, such as anesthesiologists and nurses, whose fees will also be added to the total price.
⇒ Doctor's experience: The experience and reputation of the plastic surgeon can influence the price of liposuction. More experienced and renowned surgeons may charge higher fees due to their skill, experience, and reputation.
Our goal is to provide you with a transparent and detailed budget that reflects your needs and aesthetic objectives, with no hidden costs.

The complete process of liposuction or liposculpture in Madrid
First consultation
The first consultation takes place at our clinic in Madrid. During this appointment, you will be seen directly by the doctor, without the intervention of commercial intermediaries.
Dr. Sordo will analyze your anatomy and listen carefully to your wishes and expectations regarding liposuction.
We will carry out a personalized aesthetic study to evaluate whether liposuction is the most appropriate option for your particular situation.
Dr. Sordo will discuss the details of the procedure with you, answer all of your questions, and provide you with a clear understanding of what liposuction entails and what results you can expect.
During this initial consultation, our goal is to establish open and transparent communication with you, ensuring we understand your needs and desires, and providing you with the guidance necessary to make an informed decision about your cosmetic procedure.
Preoperative liposuction
Once you have made the decision to proceed with the operation, we will book the surgery date with you.
A few days before the scheduled date, we will perform a preoperative study.
These tests help detect anything that increases the risk of the procedure in a timely manner, and are included in the budget.
At our clinic, we will provide you with a referral to go to our affiliated laboratory, where the tests will be performed and the results will be sent directly to Dr. Sordo's medical team, without you having to go and collect them.
Preoperative tests include:
- Analysis with coagulation tests.
- Electrocardiogram.
Our anesthesiologist will carefully review all of your test results to ensure that you are in optimal condition for surgery.
In addition, we will meet again in consultation before the operation to take photographs, review the details of the procedure with you, clarify any last-minute questions you may have, and provide you with all necessary documentation.
During this pre-operative stage, our goal is to have everything checked, providing you with the necessary care and support so that you feel prepared for the big day.
Day of liposuction or liposculpture operation
On the day of your operation, we ask that you arrive at the hospital in the morning. Our team will be waiting for you and everything will be ready for your arrival. We understand that it is natural to feel nervous, but we want to reassure you that you are in good hands and that there is nothing to worry about.
The most important thing to take the step is to have all the information and to decide on a clinic like ours, with all the guarantees. That is why we inform you of the entire process, step by step and down to the smallest detail. And we are always here to support you and resolve all your doubts.
— The hospital
All our operations are carried out at the Moncloa Hospital, a medical centre equipped with the latest technology and offering comprehensive, quality care.
We are proud of the exceptional treatment our patients receive at this hospital.
For those seeking maximum discretion, our clinic offers the option of hiring an exclusive VIP service, which includes benefits such as direct access to a private room from the garage and additional care for your companions during your stay in the hospital.

— Anesthesia
In all our surgeries we use general anesthesia. We employ a technique called “TIVA” (Total Intravenous Anesthesia), an innovative alternative that does away with traditional anesthetic gases and provides a more comforting experience for our patients.
General anesthesia is chosen for its safety and because it facilitates both the operation and the recovery afterwards.
Throughout the entire procedure, our anesthesiologist, Dr. Bourgeois, will continuously monitor you throughout the intervention.
— Sleep depth monitoring with the BIS sensor
During the surgical procedure, we use the BIS sensor to monitor the patient's sleep depth in real time, and adjust the depth of anesthesia at all times.
What is the Bispectral Index (BIS)?
The Bispectral Index (BIS) is an advanced technological tool that provides a quantitative measure of the effect of anesthetic agents on the brain. It works by analyzing brain electrical activity (EEG) using a specialized algorithm and translating this information into a numerical value that reflects the patient's level of consciousness.
As measured?
The measurement is performed using a small sensor placed on the patient's forehead. This sensor continuously records the brain's electrical signal and transmits it to a monitor, which interprets the data using sophisticated algorithms to calculate the BIS index.
What is the BIS for?
The use of BIS during surgery allows:
- Precisely adjust the anesthesia dosage.
- Reduce the risk of intraoperative awareness.
- Promote a faster and safer postoperative recovery by avoiding the unnecessary administration of anesthetics.
Thanks to this technology, we ensure personalized, effective anesthesia with maximum control over patient safety.
— During the operation
Surgical procedure: Liposuction is performed in an operating room under general anesthesia using the Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) technique. During the surgery, small incisions are made in the areas to be treated, through which thin cannulas are inserted to aspirate the excess fat.
Fat removal: The surgeon uses precise movements to carefully suction out excess fat from specific areas of the body. The use of laser or ultrasound equipment is avoided, as these methods can damage fat cells.
Incision closure: Once the liposuction is complete, Dr. Sordo ensures that the areas where fat has been removed are even and closes the small incisions with sutures or surgical adhesives.
Thanks to the tumescent technique used by Dr. Sordo, no bandages or drains are needed, which contributes to a more comfortable and faster recovery for the patient.
— Admission night
After liposuction, you will be transferred to the recovery room, where you will remain for 1-2 hours before returning to your private room for the night.
This measure allows us to monitor you during the first few hours, which are the riskiest.
In addition, we offer you the option of having a companion spend the night with you for your peace of mind.
Postoperative of a liposuction
The recovery process after liposuction using the tumescent technique differs significantly from the post-operative period following traditional liposuction.
This technique allows you to leave the operating room with only a pressure therapy garment, without the need for drains or bandages.
Thanks to this, you will be able to return to your social life within 24 to 48 hours, with a recommended sick leave period of 4 to 7 days , depending on your activity and type of work.
The day after liposuction, Dr. Sordo will visit you personally to assess your condition, review preliminary results, and discharge you from the hospital.
At home, you should:
- Use a pressure therapy belt.
- Follow the recommended treatment for healing.
- Take pain relievers as prescribed.
- Take an antibiotic, if necessary.
With our tumescent liposuction technique, no additional dressings are necessary.
It is important to note that it is normal to experience swelling and some bruising in the treated area, which usually disappears within about ten days.
During the first 30 days postoperatively, you must wear the pressure therapy girdle continuously, only removing it to shower.
Moderate physical exercise, such as walking or riding a stationary bike, is recommended from day one.
Plus, you'll be able to drive again from day one.
Post-liposuction check-ups
To ensure that your recovery process progresses correctly, we will carry out detailed monitoring throughout the first year after liposuction.
We are available for you anytime you need us.
One week after liposuction:
It is normal to experience some swelling, which will gradually decrease over time.
Thanks to the use of the laser, your scars are likely to become less visible and less red compared to conventional methods. The stitches will have been completely absorbed at this time.
One month after liposuction:
Swelling should be minimal at this point, allowing you to appreciate the final result of your liposuction. Laser treatment will help improve the appearance of the scars, making them less visible. We will also assess whether it is necessary to continue wearing the compression garment.
3/6 months later:
We will conduct a follow-up consultation to assess your recovery progress and review the condition of the treated areas.
12 months after:
We will perform your last check-up of the year. During this consultation, we will take photographs so that you can compare the results before and after the procedure. After this check-up, you will be discharged.
However, you can come see us at the clinic whenever you like. Our team will be available to address any questions or concerns you may have throughout your recovery and beyond. Your trust and comfort are our priority.
Other body surgery operations
Although liposuction is one of the most popular and in-demand treatments at our clinic, Dr. Gustavo Sordo and his team are experts in a wide variety of body aesthetic procedures.
Each of these treatments is performed with the same precision and care that characterizes our approach to liposuction. Here are some other options available:
⇒ Lipofilling or fat transfer : An advanced technique that allows fat to be redistributed from areas where there is excess to other areas that may need more volume, such as the buttocks, breasts, or face, although some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed in the first few months. It consists of extracting fat from one part of the body and transferring it to another area to increase volume or improve contours.
⇒ Abdominoplasty : Ideal for patients who want a flatter, more toned abdomen, especially after significant weight changes or pregnancies. This procedure removes excess skin and fat and restores firmness to the abdominal muscles.
⇒ Buttock augmentation : We perform buttock augmentations using lipotransfer techniques for a more natural and harmonious result, or with implants, depending on the patient's needs and preferences.
⇒ Gynecomastia : We offer solutions for men facing an unwanted increase in breast tissue, helping them achieve a more masculine and defined chest contour.
Each of these procedures is performed with the utmost attention to detail and customization, ensuring that the results not only enhance your appearance, but also contribute to improving your quality of life and self-confidence.
Frequently asked questions about liposuction or liposculpture in Madrid
Yes. In liposuction, our goal is to redefine parts of your anatomy, which is why it is essential to seek proportion with the rest of your physiognomy. For this reason, we carry out a prior study until we find the liposuction that best suits your desires.
Yes. With the tumescent liposuction technique you will leave the operating room directly with a compression garment, without the need for drains or bandages, and you will be able to return to your basic daily activities within 24 hours. Although you will feel fine and lead a normal life, we recommend taking 4-7 days off work to ensure recovery and not subject the body to unnecessary stress. Our recommendation from day one is that you walk 30 minutes a day.
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 our own anaesthetist on our team for over 10 years.
Yes. We do this for greater security because this way we can monitor you in the hours that follow. The next morning Dr. Sordo will visit you to check on your progress and, if everything is okay, he will discharge you from the hospital.
Yes. We can perform liposuction in different areas of your body in the same operation. However, we recommend not exceeding a maximum volume of fat removed for your health. Dr. Sordo will evaluate your health and will recommend how many areas can be treated in the same operation so that you do not run any risks and the procedure is safe.
Dr. Sordo performs liposuction with tumescent infiltration.
This technique uses microcannulas (thin suction tubes) that, in addition to allowing atraumatic introduction into the patient's body, will leave minimal scars, 3-4 millimeters in diameter.
There are areas of the body that tend to accumulate fat that persists even when we are at our ideal weight.
Depending on whether the patient is a man or a woman, these areas will be one or the other, since the distribution of fat follows a hormonal pattern. Men tend to accumulate fat in the abdominal area and the flanks, while in women it is located in the inner and outer part of the thighs, saddlebags, the inner part of the knees, buttocks and abdomen.
All of these areas that we have named can be treated with liposuction.
You will be able to walk 30 minutes a day from day 1 post-operatively, the latter being highly recommended.
Three months after liposuction, you can introduce more exercises into your routine, such as running, swimming or cycling.
Cellulite cannot be eliminated, but it can be improved after liposuction.
We like to provide honest information to our patients so that they do not feel deceived with expectations that are not met.
The accumulation of fat in certain areas of the body is determined by the existence of fat cells. The greater accumulation of these cells in different areas of our body is determined by adolescence and the increase in hormones.
By performing tumescent liposuction we eliminate these fat cells, so if we gain weight after liposuction, the treated areas will gain weight at the same rate as the rest of the body.
