Liposuction
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction uses a thin tube (cannula) connected to a vacuum to break up and remove fat from targeted areas including the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, neck, and chin. It is a contouring procedure, not a weight loss surgery, and works best in patients near their goal weight with good skin elasticity.
Multiple areas can be treated in a single session. Volume and target zones are planned based on safety limits, body proportions, and your aesthetic goals. Liposuction is also the first stage of a Brazilian Butt Lift — the harvested fat is processed and transferred to the buttocks.
Liposuction in Tijuana, Mexico at Russald Medical Center provides skilled plastic surgery outcomes at 60–75% less than US clinics. Targeted areas, technique selection, and volume goals are reviewed during consultation to set realistic expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Liposuction in Tijuana — Common Questions
How much does liposuction cost in Tijuana, Mexico?
Liposuction pricing at Russald Medical Center depends on the number of areas treated. It is significantly less expensive than US plastic surgery centers. Contact our team for a personalized quote.
Is liposuction a weight loss procedure?
No. Liposuction is a body contouring procedure that removes localized fat in specific areas. It is best suited for patients already near their target weight with stubborn fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise.
How many areas can be treated in one session?
Multiple areas can be treated in a single session. The number of areas and total volume removed are planned based on safety limits and your specific anatomy. Your surgeon will define the plan during consultation.
Will the fat come back after liposuction?
Fat cells removed by liposuction do not return. However, remaining fat cells in other areas can enlarge with significant weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight preserves your liposuction results.
Can liposuction be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Liposuction is commonly combined with tummy tuck, mommy makeover, or BBL (where harvested fat is transferred to the buttocks). Your surgeon evaluates the combination based on surgical time and your health profile.
Is it safe to get liposuction in Tijuana, Mexico?
Liposuction safety depends on the surgical team and the facility, not the destination. At Russald Medical Center, liposuction is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons in an accredited surgical suite with anesthesiology on site. Tijuana sits about 20 minutes from the San Diego border, which keeps in-person follow-up accessible for U.S. patients. A pre-operative evaluation is required before any procedure is approved — candidacy and expected results are assessed individually, and, as with any surgery, the risks are reviewed with you beforehand. An English-speaking coordinator manages your case from first contact through post-operative follow-up.
