The surgery

Liposuction or liposculpture in Mexico City

Liposculpture is another name for liposuction: it removes localized fat that diet and exercise cannot shift and shapes the figure. That same fat is often transferred to add volume elsewhere, such as the buttocks and hips (fat transfer).

Lipo 360 treats the abdomen, waist, flanks and back in the same surgery to refine the whole silhouette. High-definition liposculpture (Lipo 3D) also enhances the natural muscle contour of the abdomen.

The doctor performs fourth-generation ultrasonic liposculpture, which helps break down fat before it is removed with less bleeding, and complements it with professional intraoperative radiofrequency and other advanced skin-tightening technologies, which he also uses in surgery of the face, arms, hands and legs. It is an outpatient surgery with 3–4 mm incisions.

Liposuction is not a weight-loss treatment, and it does not remove skin or repair the abdominal muscles. If there is loose skin or muscle separation after pregnancy or weight changes, a tummy tuck or lipoabdominoplasty is better; and if you also want a defined abdomen, lipoabdominoescultura, a term created by Dr. José Daza. During your consultation the doctor recommends the right technique for your body.

I operate in certified hospitals with the highest safety standards, because a harmonious result starts with safe surgery. I have experience welcoming patients from other cities and countries: most can fly home 7 to 10 days after surgery.

Techniques

More than removing fat: sculpting

The doctor chooses the technique, or a combination, based on your body and the result you want.

High-definition liposculpture (Lipo 3D)

Besides removing fat, it enhances the natural muscle contour of the abdomen and waist for a more athletic figure. This is the basis of the Barbie package.

Ultrasound and radiofrequency

Fourth-generation ultrasonic liposculpture to break down fat before removing it, with less bleeding, and professional intraoperative radiofrequency for better skin retraction.

Fat transfer

The fat removed is used to add volume to the buttocks, hips or chest.

“I came for my rhinoplasty like my mom, because I loved hers. Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. I 100% recommend Dr. Daza and his team.”
Ayme P.
“I am very happy with all the care from the doctor and his whole team! I highly recommend the doctor.”
Alejandra R. · Translated from Spanish
“It has been 9 days since my Mommy Makeover with Dr. José Daza Flores. The nursing and spa team are wonderful: they made me feel calm the whole time. The massages are not the typical painful massage other people describe. Many thanks to Brenda, Imelda, Alberto, Rosario and Dr. Daza. 100% recommended! ❤️”
Alejandra F. · Translated from Spanish
“From the very beginning, Dr. José Daza took the time to listen to what was important to me and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. His attention to detail and calm, professional presence made a world of difference. His team was just as incredible: compassionate, attentive, and genuinely caring. Nurse Imelda stood out with her kindness and reachouts throughout the process, and a special thank you to Brenda for her exceptional post-op massages, which made my recovery more comfortable. Highly recommend!”
Maureena J.
“From the very beginning, Dr. Daza stood out not just for his professionalism, but for the kindness and genuine care he shows to every single patient. After a deeply disappointing experience with another doctor, Dr. Daza was honest with me from day one and helped restore my confidence too. I initially came for a rhinoplasty, and later returned to have him correct the previous work. From the nurses and assistants to the spa team, his entire staff creates an atmosphere that feels safe, warm, and supportive. Thank you, Dr. Daza, for everything you've done for me.”
Nadine P.
“3 months after my gluteal implant surgery. I spent almost a month looking for a surgeon with experience in gluteal implants, and I was lucky to find Dr. Daza: he did an amazing job, with just one incision between the glutes, so you don't see the scar at all. A great thing is that Dr. Daza operates in his own clinic, so you always know where to go. Big thank you to the front desk girls and all the nurses, especially Imelda and Brenda; I felt at home. Definitely recommend Dr. Daza and his team.”
Dmitry G.
“Always the best care from everyone: the nursing team always attentive, the reception staff always very kind, the massage therapist outstanding and very professional, very careful so you don't feel pain, and above all the doctor, excellent and very experienced; he always understands the results you are looking for without neglecting any detail to protect your health. I recommend them 1000% 🫶”
Beatriz M. · Translated from Spanish
“My experience with Dr. Daza and his whole team has been excellent. From the very first moment I felt incredible human warmth and professionalism. Every member of the team, in every area, is attentive, kind and very professional; they make you feel safe and supported at all times. I want to highlight the lovely care from Brenda, Zara and Alberto, wonderful and professional people. I recommend Dr. Daza 100%: he is an excellent surgeon, highly trained and a great leader, which shows in his great team.”
Brizeida M. · Translated from Spanish

FAQ

Liposuction questions

Is liposuction a weight-loss treatment?

No. It is not a treatment for obesity: it targets localized fat that does not respond to diet or exercise, such as the lower abdomen, flanks, outer thighs or inner knees.

Which areas can be treated?

Abdomen, waist, flanks, back, arms, thighs, knees, double chin and other areas with localized fat. Several can be treated in the same surgery.

What if I have loose skin or stretch marks?

If there is excess skin, for example after pregnancy or weight changes, a mini tummy tuck or a lipoabdominoplasty may be better. The doctor will recommend the right option during your consultation.

Liposuction, tummy tuck or lipoabdominoescultura?

Liposuction removes fat and shapes, but does not remove skin or repair muscles. A tummy tuck removes skin and closes the muscles (internal corset). Lipoabdominoescultura combines both plus 3D abdominal etching in a single surgery. We explain it in this article.

Will there be scars?

The incisions are 3–4 mm and fade over the following months.

Why are massages important?

Lymphatic massage and ultrasound help reduce swelling and help the skin adapt to your new shape.

I live outside Mexico. How long should I stay?

I have experience welcoming patients from other cities and countries. Most can fly home 7 to 10 days after surgery. During your consultation we will help you plan your travel dates.

Do you treat complications from liposuction or biopolymers?

Yes. The doctor has extensive experience correcting complications from liposuction done elsewhere and removing biopolymers (unauthorized filler substances). He explains it on his podcast, in the episodes on liposuction complications and biopolymers (in Spanish).

What is lipo 360?

It is liposuction of the whole torso, abdomen, waist, flanks and back, in the same surgery. It is often combined with fat transfer to the buttocks and hips, as in the Barbie package.

Do you offer laser liposuction?

The doctor performs fourth-generation ultrasonic liposculpture and uses professional intraoperative radiofrequency, technologies that, like laser, help break down fat before removing it and help the skin retract. He will explain which is best for you during your consultation.

How much does liposuction cost in Mexico City?

The cost depends on how many areas are treated, the technique (lipo 360, 3D high definition) and whether fat is transferred to the buttocks or hips. You receive a complete quote after your consultation.

Why choose a board-certified plastic surgeon?

Liposuction complications are often due to surgery performed by people without the specialty. Dr. Daza is a plastic surgeon with Board certification no. 1477, current (recertified in 2024). Always verify the certification of whoever will operate on you.

Where is the surgery performed?

In certified hospitals with the highest safety standards, because a harmonious result starts with safe surgery.
