Abdominal Liposuction in Gender Medic Unit
About the clinic
Abdominal liposuction at Clinic San Clemente in Zaragoza, Spain, helps reshape the midsection by removing stubborn fat deposits. The procedure may cost around $2,300 for a single zone, with care led by surgeons like Prof. Dr. Sonia Peña who has over 20 years of experience. This clinic is part of the Hospital HC Group and holds the WhatClinic Patient Service Award.
Advanced Liposuction Techniques
The surgical team uses several methods to achieve precise body contouring. These options include tumescent liposuction and Microaire Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL). They also provide VASER ultrasound technology and high-definition (HD) sculpting for more defined results. The choice of method depends on the patient's goals and the amount of fat being removed. The procedure typically takes between 1 to 3 hours to complete.
Surgical Team and Expertise
Prof. Dr. Sonia Peña leads the aesthetic surgery unit with over 20 years of experience in the field. She is a member of SECPRE and founded the Fundación Sigo Adelante. Dr. Roberto Herrero also works within the unit, specializing in plastic and gender reassignment surgery. Together, they create personalized treatment plans starting with a free initial consultation. The surgery uses small incisions of only 2 to 3 mm to minimize visible scarring.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients undergo the procedure as outpatients and return home the same day. The clinic provides a structured recovery program to help with healing. This includes manual lymphatic drainage, Indiba radiofrequency therapy, and polarized light treatments. Patients typically return to office work within 3 to 7 days. More physical work can begin after 3 to 4 weeks. Most people resume regular exercise after 4 weeks, while final body shapes appear within 3 to 6 months.
What to Expect
- Anesthesia: Surgeons use local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
- Preparation: Patients need a blood test and an electrocardiogram before the surgery.
- Post-op Care: You must wear a compression garment for several weeks to support the tissues.
- Pricing: The cost starts at around $2,300, though flights and lodging are not included.

Gender Medic Unit: more details about the clinic
Established in 2013, Clinic San Clemente is a private medical center in Zaragoza, Spain. The facility specializes in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, treating over 5,000 patients each year. It is affiliated with the Hernán Cortés hospital group and combines surgical precision with structured recovery protocols.
Accreditations and Humanitarian Achievements
The clinic received the WhatClinic Patient Service Award for its commitment to patient care. Beyond aesthetics, the facility supports reconstructive surgery through the Fundación Sigo Adelante. This foundation works in Pakistan, helping women affected by acid attacks and burns through complex reconstructive procedures and social reintegration programs.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Sonia Peña leads the surgical unit with over 20 years of experience. The clinic is a high-volume center for breast surgery, having completed more than 5,000 mammary interventions. Surgeons perform both cosmetic enhancements and reconstructive procedures, including breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
Facial surgery options include otoplasty, blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty. For nasal corrections, the clinic offers several methods:
- Open rhinoplasty for direct vision and structural control
- Closed rhinoplasty to avoid external scarring
- Non-surgical nasal reshaping (Rinomodelación) for three out of four aesthetic cases
Body contouring is another primary focus, led by specialists like Dr. Roberto Herrero. The team performs traditional liposuction and tumescent techniques. These use saline injections to aid fat removal. Most liposuction procedures are outpatient, though complex cases may require an overnight stay.
Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Regeneration
The aesthetic medicine department offers non-surgical treatments to improve skin texture and firmness. Specialists use the Nanopore Turbo-Roller for microneedling. This delivers vitamins and hyaluronic acid through controlled micropunctures. A typical program requires 3 to 4 sessions spaced three weeks apart.
Regenerative therapies include exosome therapy for anti-aging and skin repair. This protocol involves three sessions at 21-day intervals to stimulate natural collagen production. The clinic also treats hair loss with transplants and exosome-based stimulation to improve density.
Other non-surgical treatments include:
- Chemical peels and facial bio-stimulation
- Radiofrequency and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
- Botox for both wrinkles and bruxism
- LPG Endermologie for lymphatic drainage and volume reduction
For weight management, the clinic uses the Tanita body composition analyzer. This creates personalized diet programs based on body measurements.
Advanced Medical Technologies
The clinic uses specialized equipment to improve surgical outcomes and speed healing. Operating rooms have technology for ultrasonic rhinoplasty and advanced anesthesia monitoring. For post-operative care, the facility uses Indiba radiofrequency and Luz Polarizada (Polarized Light). These reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue recovery.
Support and Recovery Services
Every surgical patient receives a structured recovery plan. This combines physiotherapy with manual lymphatic drainage (DLM). The surgeon remains responsible for follow-up care for one year after the procedure. Patients also have direct phone access to their surgeon during the initial post-operative phase.
Breast surgery patients receive long-term monitoring through regular medical evaluations. These checks help identify early signs of implant wear or capsular contracture. Specialists provide close follow-up to confirm inflammation decreases properly and the final result meets expectations.
