Frequently Asked Questions About Body Surgery

We know that every decision regarding your health and appearance is important, which is why we have compiled the most common questions about our procedures to provide you with all the information you need.

If you have any additional questions or would like to know which treatment is right for you, please feel free to contact us to schedule a consultation.

Is body contouring surgery painful?

Body contouring surgeries such as liposuction, tummy tucks, and lipoabdominoplasty are performed under general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. During recovery, discomfort is managed with medication and tools like a pain pump, which provides a continuous supply of pain relief. Most patients describe the recovery as uncomfortable but manageable, with discomfort gradually decreasing over the first few weeks.

Can I lose weight with liposuction?

No, liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. Its goal is to remove localized fat deposits and contour the body in areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is ideal for patients who are close to their goal weight and are looking to improve their silhouette. For long-lasting results, it is essential to maintain healthy diet and exercise habits.

Can I have a tummy tuck if I plan to have more children?

It is possible, but not recommended. A subsequent pregnancy can affect the results of a tummy tuck, as it stretches the skin and abdominal muscles that were repaired during surgery once again. For this reason, we suggest having the procedure when you no longer plan to have children. If a pregnancy does occur afterward, it is possible to evaluate a second tummy tuck later on.

Can I have a mommy makeover?

Yes, a mommy makeover combines several procedures into a single intervention to restore your figure after pregnancy. The most frequent combinations include abdominoplasty with liposuction, breast augmentation or mastopexy. During the consultation, we evaluate your health, your goals, and define which combination is the safest and most effective for your case.

How do I know what type of breast surgery I need?

It depends on your goal. If you want more volume, breast augmentation is the option. If your breasts have lost firmness, a mastopexy. If you feel discomfort due to size, a reduction. If you want to remove implants, an explantation. Many patients come to the consultation unsure of what they need, and that is what we are here for. We evaluate your anatomy and guide you with complete honesty.

How do I decide if it's time to replace or remove my breast implants?

There is no expiration date for modern breast implants. However, it is advisable to consider explantation or replacement if you experience physical discomfort, complications like capsular contracture, changes in your aesthetic preferences, or if your implants are many years old and you prefer to update them. During the consultation, we evaluate the condition of your implants and guide you toward the best decision for your case.

Can I have a breast lift and reduction at the same time?

Yes, in fact, it is a common combination. Breast reduction includes a lifting component that repositions the breasts for a firmer cleavage. We can also combine a mastopexy with a partial reduction when the patient's goals require it. Each case is planned on an individual basis during the consultation.

Can I reduce my arms with liposuction?

It depends on your case. If the issue is localized fat in the arms with good skin elasticity, liposuction may be enough. If you also have excess hanging skin (common after significant weight loss), you will need a brachioplasty that removes both the fat and the excess skin. During the consultation, we evaluate the best option to achieve a more toned arm contour.

Can I rejuvenate my intimate area with surgery?

Yes, intimate female surgery includes procedures such as labiaplasty (reduction of the labia minora) and mons pubis treatment (liposuction, fat grafting, or lifting). You will be treated by an experienced female plastic surgeon in an environment of complete privacy and trust. These procedures improve physical comfort and intimate well-being.

How much does body contouring surgery cost in Bogotá?

The cost varies based on the type of procedure, the number of areas to be treated, the surgical time, and the technology used. Liposuction of one area does not cost the same as a full lipoabdominoplasty. During your consultation, we evaluate your case and provide a detailed, personalized quote. The consultation fee is applied toward your procedure.

How much does breast surgery cost in Bogotá?

The cost depends on the specific procedure, the surgical technique, the type of implant (if applicable), and the complexity of the case. A breast augmentation is not the same as an explant with mastopexy. During your consultation, we analyze your case, define the surgical plan, and provide you with a transparent quote. The consultation fee is applied toward your procedure.
