Feminizing Liposculpture
When hormone therapy alone is not enough to feminize your figure, feminizing liposculpture takes fat from your abdomen and transfers it to your hips. Dr. Jesús Lago performs the operation at Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid, for patients from the UK, Ireland and beyond.

How Feminizing Liposculpture Works
We remove the fat with a vibrating cannula. The vibration opens up the spaces between pockets of fat, so the cannula glides through instead of forcing its way, which means less trauma and less bleeding. We then inject the fat into your hips to give them a rounder shape. Only your own fat is used, with no implants.

The price of feminizing liposculpture covers your preoperative assessment, the evaluation consultation, the operation and hospital stay, follow-up appointments and, if needed, a blood test and an ultrasound.
It is for trans women whose body contours have not feminized enough with hormone therapy alone, and for anyone who would like more defined hips and a flatter stomach.
The vibrating cannula finds its own way through the fatty tissue without forcing the surrounding tissue. There is less bleeding and swelling, and recovery is quicker than with conventional liposculpture.
Yes. Once it has taken, the transferred fat stays stable. It is your own tissue, not an implant that needs monitoring over the years.
Three things: the operating time, the type of cannulas used and the volume of fat removed. Together they account for most of the variation from one liposculpture to another.
Yes, a compression garment is essential after feminizing liposculpture. It reduces swelling and helps refine the final contour.
Yes, for a while. The treated areas may feel different at first, then sensation returns.
Liposuction removes fat from specific areas. Feminizing liposculpture goes further: it reshapes the body as a whole, moving the fat it removes to your hips rather than simply discarding it.
Yes, depending on where you are in your feminization journey. We can do both in a single operation or treat them separately.
