Body Surgery

The body tells our story: pregnancies, weight variations, skin aging, genetics, or simply lifestyle choices can change its proportions, leading to tissue relaxation or localized fat deposits.

When diet and physical activity are not enough, body surgery offers effective tools to restore harmony, tone, and definition, helping to regain a form that is consistent with one’s image.

The goal is not only aesthetic: many procedures improve posture, physical comfort, and quality of life, reducing skin friction, discomfort, or movement difficulties.

Body surgery is a journey of balance and awareness, not an extreme transformation. It restores harmony, tonicity, and confidence, enhancing what already exists. In expert hands, modern surgical technology allows for lasting, proportional, and natural results, fully respecting the patient’s safety.

Pre-operative evaluation and planning

Each intervention starts with a thorough evaluation of the body, analyzing:

skin elasticity, fat distribution, and muscle tonicity;

weight history, pregnancies, general conditions, and lifestyle habits;

any medical contraindications (coagulation, varicose veins, metabolic disorders).

During the first visit, technique, anesthesia, recovery times, expected scars, and costs are explained, ensuring the decision is fully informed.

Safety and materials used

The procedures are performed in certified clinics, with the presence of an anesthesiologist and constant monitoring.

Liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent. Abdominoplasty and lifts require general anesthesia.

The duration varies from 1 to 4 hours. After the procedure, the patient is monitored and may return home the same day or after a short stay.

Anesthesia and post-operative recovery

After the procedure, it is normal to experience swelling, hardening, or bruising, which resolve progressively.

Compression garments are worn for 3-6 weeks, helping with skin retraction and reducing the risk of seromas.

Return to work occurs in about a weekfor minor procedures, and after 2-3 weeks for more extensive ones.

Sports activities can gradually resume after 4-6 weeks, following personalized guidelines.

Scars: location and treatment

Incisions are planned in hidden or easily concealable areas (abdominal fold, inguinal crease, or the inner arms).

The post-operative protocol includes daily care, sun protection, and the application of medical silicone tape to improve scar quality. Over time, the scars become thin and barely perceptible.

Results and long-term maintenance

The final result is visible after 3-6 months, when the tissues stabilize. The silhouette appears more harmonious and defined, but maintenance requires a balanced lifestyle: stable weight, regular physical activity, hydration, and no smoking.

The procedures do not prevent future pregnancies, but it is advisable to wait at least 12 months to preserve the quality of the results.
