Dr. Valdez's Advanced Lipo Techniques for Your Best Outcome

  • Precision Sculpting: Technologies like Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) with MicroAire allow for highly precise fat removal, minimizing tissue disruption and maximizing skin retraction. This enables comprehensive 360-degree body contouring and a more defined silhouette.
  • Reduced Discomfort & Recovery: Techniques such as Ultrasound-Assisted Liposculpture significantly reduce post-operative pain and swelling, contributing to a smoother recovery.
  • Enhanced Safety & Results: Protocols like SAFE Lipo (Separation, Equalization, Aspiration) improve the safety and effectiveness of fat removal.
  • Superior Fat Transfer (EVL): For procedures requiring fat grafting, our advanced methods enhance fat cell survival, allowing for greater volume and more successful augmentation in areas like the glutes and hips.

Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction in Cancun?

Dissatisfied With Your Body Contour

You’re bothered by specific areas of excess fat or disproportion that diet and exercise haven’t resolved.

You're Near Your Ideal Weight

Liposuction is for refining contours, not significant weight loss; you should be at or near your stable target weight.

You Have Localized Fat Pockets

This procedure targets specific, stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise in areas like the abdomen, hips, or thighs.

General Good Health

You should be in generally good health without conditions that could impair healing.

Realistic Expectations

Understand that liposuction sculpts and refines your body shape, rather than achieving dramatic weight reduction.

Non-Smoker

Smoking can impair wound healing, and increase the risk of complications.

Liposuction Procedure: What to Expect

Step 1—Anesthesia

The procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia and IV sedation to ensure your comfort.

Step 2—The Incision(s)

Small, discreet incisions are strategically placed in the treatment areas.

Step 3—The Procedure

Through these incisions, a thin cannula removes excess fat, meticulously sculpting your body contours.

Step 4—Closing the Incisions

Incisions are carefully closed, and compression garments are applied to the treated areas.

Step 5—Recovery Time

Expect initial swelling and bruising; most patients resume light activities in days to a week. You may be asked to wear a compression garment.
