At our Monterrey, Mexico practice, liposuction consistently ranks among the most preferred treatments we offer. If you’re looking for an effective way to reduce stubborn, localized fat deposits, fat removal is an excellent option.

Dr. Lara Ontiveros uses various liposuction techniques to address fat affecting one or more areas of the body. The procedure enhances and reshapes the body, leading to a slimmer, more proportional physique.

GOOD LIPOSUCTION CANDIDATES

Fat removal is not a weight loss treatment and is therefore most appropriate for patients who are close to their ideal weight, but have a hard time slimming down troublesome areas.

In addition, skin quality is extremely important to the outcome of the procedure as firm, elastic skin shrinks easier for tight and refined results. In general, patients undergoing lipoplasty should be in good overall health, and they should not be more than 20 pounds overweight.

In general, liposuction involves Dr. Lara Ontiveros making small incisions (about a quarter-inch long) and then inserting a cannula, a thin tube used to break up and suction fat from under the skin. Fat removal surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the size of the treatment area, the amount of fat to be extracted and the liposuction technique used.
