Almost all the liposuction we perform is assisted by ultrasound, with Lipovaser technology (uses VASER ultrasound).

“Imagine that fat cells are like a bunch of grapes. The ultrasound makes them vibrate until they fall from the bunch. Then, with the liposuction cannula, these fat cells that have already been detached from their fibers are extracted, as easily as if they were butter. This provides security and makes the postoperative period easier, as it is a much less aggressive procedure.”

Older liposuction literally ripped fat cells out of the body. This caused a lot of pain, inflammation, bleeding, bruising and worse results.

The Bodytite It is a novel and effective body remodeling treatment that improves body flaccidity. It works with ablative radiofrequency. It is an energetic stimulation. It transmits energy to the tissues, heating them internally and activating the fibroblasts to form collagen again. This generates tissue retraction, it is as if it created ligaments that did not exist and makes the skin retract towards the muscle. The focus of Bodytite's work is not fat, but skin flaccidity. It allows the skin of a 40 or 50 year old person to respond to the result of liposuction as if they were 20 years old, that is, generating good retraction and not sagging.

We use it to extract more fat with liposuction and allow the skin retraction that we need. If we didn't do it, the skin would be flaccid, saggy and wrinkled. We will use it especially on skin that is already flaccid at the base, people over 40-50 years old, and also in areas where we already know that the skin tends to sag after liposuction, such as the skin above the navel, saddlebags, inner thighs, banana roll...

Radiofrequency applied with Bodytite is also the solution for patients who were previously recommended mini abdominoplasties, mini facelifts or mini thigh or arm lifts. Nowadays, we rarely perform these anymore, applying this treatment achieves better results and does not involve surgery with scars.

The fat that is removed does not come back. There are people who have had liposuction and gain weight again. This happens because they accumulate more calories than they expend. This accumulation of new fat will not only be preferential in the area where liposuction was performed. It will be distributed throughout all the fat cells in the rest of the body.

“Even if it gains weight again, it will do so in a more even and homogeneous way, but not concentrated in a specific area.”

We will carry out a specific study that analyses each patient to see where they accumulate the most fat.

Lipofilling (or lipoinjection) is a technique based on using subcutaneous fat from one part of the body and placing it in another. The fat extracted from the patient is cleaned, purified and injected into areas where it is needed. It is part of the liposculpture process.

Ultrasonic liposuction has revolutionized liposculpture. It is a minimally invasive body remodeling technique. The technology we use in this ultrasound-assisted liposuction allows us to selectively emulsify fat cells before their extraction. This allows for optimal control of the procedure and reduces the time of the intervention. In addition, there is also a lower risk of damaging organs with perforations, which is what happened with the documented case of Sara Gómez, the patient who died in Cartagena.

With our technique, since the fat cells are unhooked and emulsified, they can be removed easily and without aggressive procedures. In addition to safety and a better postoperative period, liposuction with VASER ultrasound allows for greater precision. If before, for abdominal marking, it was necessary to scrape the skin until it was completely empty, now it is not necessary to scrape. With the fat cells unhooked, it is much smoother and I can say exactly where I want to remove fat and do it in a homogeneous way.

"For example, if I do a "six-pack", all the lines will be much more even thanks to having previously treated the fatty tissue with VASER ultrasound, and there will be less irregularity," says Dr. Marc illa.

Comprehensive treatment of the silhouette

When we admire the beauty of a painting, a sculpture, music, or the human body itself, we do not focus on each of its individual components, but rather we observe it in an integral way, as a whole.

When planning a surgical intervention, it is important to take this aspect into account. But how do we apply it in body contouring surgery?

Patients come to the consultation with the initial idea of wanting to improve the appearance of their abdomen, but end up wanting to improve their overall body silhouette. Therefore, it is always advisable to carry out a comprehensive treatment by anatomical areas, not by individual components.

Therefore, in many cases, it is necessary to combine treatments applied to the flanks and even the back, such as liposuction, to achieve the desired result.

We can safely say that we have the latest generation of methods in terms of body surgery. This makes us different from other body surgery surgeons and also makes us excellent in this type of surgery. The secret is to use a combination of cutting-edge techniques and technologies. This allows us to approach the intervention taking into account the patient's overall silhouette and not isolated areas.

If you are looking for a clinic to undergo surgery to modify your body contour, you have found us. What makes us different is that we never carry out an intervention that is reduced to removing fat from a specific area, nothing more. The more areas are treated, the more natural the result.

“If liposuction is only performed below the navel, as the only area treated, it will be discordant with the rest of the belly. That is why we always treat complete anatomical areas.”

Dr. Marc Illa says.
