Benefits of Liposuction in Colombia with Dr. Fulvio Correa
Enhance Your Figure. Liposuction is a procedure that allows you to sculpt your body by removing fat deposits that could not be eliminated through diet or exercise. It also enables us to shape specific areas of the body, achieving a better figure and proportion.
Ideal for Men and Women. Liposuction in Colombia is ideal for both men and women, as it allows us to shape the figure regardless of whether it is male or female. Most men seek to eliminate fat deposits from the chest, abdomen, and waist, while women desire more pronounced curves and a flatter abdomen. With a liposuction procedure, we can achieve this.
Combination with Other Procedures. When you undergo a liposuction procedure in Colombia with Dr. Fulvio Correa, you can combine it with other procedures such as breast augmentation, lifting, or reduction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, ear surgery, or even as part of a Mommy Makeover.
Cutting-Edge Technology. At Fulvio Correa Plastic Surgery, we use cutting-edge technology to optimize our patients' results. In liposuction procedures, we utilize Retraction technology, which helps prevent sagging after the procedure, and Liposurg, a Swiss technology that integrates three techniques resulting in vibroliposuction. This method allows for better definition and significantly reduces pain during the recovery phase. Learn more about these technologies here.
Recovery. One of our patients' greatest fears is not having enough time to undergo their procedure and recover. That’s why at Fulvio Correa Plastic Surger, we have designed an All-Inclusive plan so that you can have your procedure and recover in a short period of time at our Recovery House, a space specifically designed for optimal recovery.

Important Information
Learn more about liposuction in Colombia
Liposuction is a procedure that has evolved significantly, and today there are various techniques that allow for more precise and safe results. Among the most common techniques is traditional liposuction, which uses a cannula to suction out localized fat. However, there are also more advanced methods that offer additional benefits, such as Retraction technology and the use of Liposurg.
Retraction is a modern technique that not only removes fat but also stimulates skin contraction, helping to prevent sagging and achieving a firmer, more defined contour. This technology is ideal for patients seeking aesthetic improvement with more natural and long-lasting results.
On the other hand, Liposurg is an advanced device that combines fat suction with ultrasound assistance, allowing for more precise fat removal and reducing recovery time. This technique is especially useful in areas where the fat is denser or more difficult to treat.

What to expect from the procedure and recovery
Liposuction surgery is a procedure designed to remove unwanted fat deposits and improve body contour. During the surgery, small incisions are made in the skin through which a cannula is inserted to suction fat from specific areas such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, or back. The procedure can be performed under different types of anesthesia, depending on the extent of the liposuction and the patient's preferences.
There are two main options for anesthesia during liposuction. The first is local anesthesia, used for small areas or minor procedures. With this option, the patient remains awake, sedated, but feels no pain in the treated area. The second option is general anesthesia, used for more extensive procedures or when multiple areas of the body are treated. With general anesthesia, the patient is completely asleep throughout the surgery.
After liposuction, the recovery time varies based on the amount of fat removed and the areas treated. Generally, patients can return to their normal activities within one to two weeks, although it is recommended to avoid intense exercise for at least a month. It is important to wear a compression garment during the recovery period, which helps reduce swelling and allows the skin to adjust to the new contour.
The initial results of liposuction may be visible within a few weeks, but the final result is usually seen between three and six months after the procedure, once the swelling has fully subsided.
