Liposuction is the Number 2 procedure in the world (just following breast augmentation at Number1). It involves removing unwanted, excess fat within the body in areas, such as the stomach, buttocks, hips, thighs, arms or neck. This is a wonderful procedure for patients who have been struggling to get rid of fat on their own by dieting and exercising. The procedure is also referred to as ‘lipoplasty, or ‘lipolysis’.
How Does Liposuction Work?
With liposuction, the surgeon creates a tiny hole and inserts a cannula needle into the area of the body to remove fat using suction. This is usually performed with local anesthesia.
The Benefits of Liposuction Procedures
Improves Physical Mobility: Laser liposuction not only benefits a person’s aesthetic appearance; but this procedure can actually improve a person’s ability to move their body without pain and discomfort. This is because when a person is overweight; the excess fat will add pressure to joints, such as the legs and knees; making it difficult to walk, exercise and perform regular daily activities. After getting liposuction, problems with mobility will no longer be an issue.
Increases Confidence: When someone doesn’t feel positive about how they look; it will also impact how they feel overall. We’ve seen such a difference in the before and after of our patients who have received liposuction. Both men and women have demonstrated such a boost in confidence from this procedure. Many have confessed to a long battle with dieting and exercising and to have never achieved the results they were searching for. But after the liposuction procedure, were not only feeling better physically, they were flourishing in the way they perceived themselves.
Utilizing Fat from Liposuction to Improve Other Areas within the Body
Another amazing aspect of laser liposuction is that the excess fat that is removed from the body can be used to actually improve other areas within the body that cause patients to feel less confident. This procedure is referred to as a ‘fat transfer’, ‘fat grafting’, ‘liposculpture’, ‘lipostructure’, liposculpting,’ ‘lipo contouring’ ‘volume restoration’, ‘micro-lipoinjection’ and ‘fat injections’. Whatever you choose to call it, it literally works miracles to enhance features within the buttocks, breasts, calves, face, and even hands.
Dr. Constantino Mendieta has been rated as the best surgeon for liposuction in the USA. And his motto is, ‘Why waste the fat?’. He refers to a person’s excess fat as ‘liquid gold’. There is no better way to contour and reshape the body than by utilizing a patient’s own unwanted body fat from the buttocks, stomach, thighs and hips.
Not all patients have enough fat within their body to take advantage of a lipo fat transfer. Cosmetic dermal fillers are sometimes used for those patients instead of fat.

Are you struggling to lose weight? Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure to remove excess fat that stubbornly remains regardless of a healthy diet and exercise. While it may not be designed as a weight loss tool, this procedure can improve your health in a variety of ways.
Here are the three top health benefits you can receive through liposuction.
1. Improved Self Esteem
Excess weight can make you lose your self-esteem and confidence about your appearance. Liposuction can significantly alter your silhouette by eliminating unwanted fat from your biggest problem areas. These targeted areas typically include the stomach, thighs, neck, back and ankles. You will have more clothing options to help show off your new shape to others. These positive changes can create a boost in self-esteem and improve your overall quality of life.
2. Restore Mobility
Excess weight around your stomach and thighs can put additional pressure on your knees and legs. This may hamper your mobility when engaging in daily activities. Once the excess fat is removed through liposuction, full mobility can be restored. With better mobility, you will have more energy to be able to participate in daily activities to improve your health and well-being. Skin tightening is also available to help after significant weight loss.
3. Prevent Serious Health Conditions
Excess weight is associated with a wide range of serious health conditions. Liposuction can prevent these issues by assisting you in maintaining a healthy weight. This procedure reduces inflammatory cells that can cause cardiovascular disease. With liposuction, you may be able to prevent chronic pain; and the premature wearing of joints and tendons.
Are You Interested in Liposuction?
If you struggle with stubborn excess body fat, liposuction is an ideal plastic surgery procedure that you may strongly want to consider. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Mendieta, specializes in a wide range of liposuction techniques. These techniques can be combined with other plastic surgery procedures and are tailored to meet your aesthetic goals. The liposuction recovery time is minimal and you will see full results within approximately three months. With a healthy lifestyle, these results can be permanent.

If you are considering liposuction for the first time, you likely have a lot of questions. You may feel anxious or unsure. Hesitation is a natural part of preparing for plastic surgery. One of the questions you may have is whether liposuction is painful.
Having realistic expectations (and learning about pain management and the best ways to expedite your liposuction recovery) can make you as comfortable and confident as possible before and after the procedure.
Does Liposuction Require General Anesthesia?
Yes, it is. You will be under general or local anesthesia throughout the procedure. Your doctor will help you decide if you want to be asleep throughout the process; or awake and aware of the proceedings (and if it is safe to do so).
Whether you are awake or not, your board-certified plastic surgeon will have administered enough anesthesia to numb the pain. This will allow you to be comfortable and relaxed the entire time.
What Type of Anesthesia Does Liposuction Use?
As mentioned earlier, you will be under local or general anesthesia. General anesthesia means the doctor numbs the whole body, which induces a temporary state of unconsciousness.
When local anesthesia is administered, you will only feel numbness in the particular places the doctor is working on. You may also be sedated; meaning that you will be in a very relaxed state and will likely not remember what happened during the time you were under.
Generally, liposuction under local anesthesia results in less post-operative pain when administered by a surgeon that is specially trained to do so. Your doctor should advise on the best type of anesthesia to be used for your particular procedure.
Does Liposuction Hurt?
Liposuction is not particularly painful. Because you are under anesthesia, you will not feel any pain during the procedure. However, mild discomfort after liposuction is normal and likely inevitable.
How Long Does Liposuction Pain Last?
After liposuction, you will likely experience bruising, swelling, soreness, and numbness, which will be uncomfortable and sometimes painful.
As the effects of anesthesia continue to wear off, you will experience more discomfort, but your board-certified surgeon will prescribe suitable painkillers. You will also be advised to wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and bruising and quicken the healing process. Dr. Mendieta strongly suggests that his patients consider adding Exparel to their surgical procedure. This will be an added cost. However, it will reduce the pain during and after surgery up to 80%. An exparel injection must be administered during the surgical procedure.
How to Relieve Pain after Liposuction?
One way to manage your liposuction recovery pain is to take the pain medication prescribed by your doctor and wear the compression garment for as long as you are advised to. Secondly, minimize physical activity and relax as much as possible for the first week or longer, depending on your needs.
More importantly, following all the post-operative instructions provided by your plastic surgeon will significantly help manage any pain or discomfort you feel.

What You Need to Know about Liposuction with Dr. Mendieta
Dr. Mendieta understands that people have different views of beauty. And he tailors his butt enhancement procedures to meet each patient’s individual desires.* During an initial consultation, Dr. Mendieta evaluates the patient to determine the most appropriate technique for their condition that will meet their enhancement goals.*
With his technique, Dr. Mendieta strategically injects the liposuctioned fat into the buttocks to enhance the size and shape in relation to the rest of the body.* Dr. Mendieta can combine this method with his other techniques to further improve the contours of the butt to achieve the ideal shape and size.*
Miami Thong lift*
This technique deals with the inner portion of the buttocks along the crease and where the buttocks meet the legs (known as the inner gluteal fold). The ideal buttocks and legs do not have fullness at the gluteal fold; and unite upward into a 45-degree A-shaped angle between the cheeks. As the fullness at the gluteal fold increases, the angle between the buttocks and the legs becomes more horizontal (90 degrees). And the aesthetics of the buttocks begins to decrease. As more fat builds up and the butt sags down, the 45 degree angle inverses and a V-shaped angle develops (also known as the “dirty diaper look).”
The technique to correct these conditions is called the Miami Thong Lift because it hides the incisions along the inside of the crease between the buttocks where a thong would go.* Patients with the simplest degree of sagging (those close to the 90 degree angle) can benefit from liposuction through a tiny incision to remove the fullness that exists.*
Those with a greater degree of sagging and fullness at the gluteal crease will require longer incisions for liposuction.* For more extensive conditions, Dr. Mendieta can also create a suture suspension that will lift the buttocks.*

La étnica para corregir este problema se le conoce como el Levantamiento de la Tanga estilo Miami, porque esconde las incisiones en el pliegue del interior de los glúteos y en donde la tanga debe ir.* Pacientes con glúteos caídos a un grado simple de un ángulo de (90 grados) se podrían beneficiar de la liposucción a través de una pequeña incisión para remover el volumen que provoca la caída de los glúteos.
