Love handles liposuction in Gender Medic Unit
About the clinic
Love handles liposuction at Clínica San Clemente in Zaragoza, Spain, helps remove stubborn fat deposits from the flanks. The procedure typically runs between $2,300 and $4,000 for a medium-sized zone. This treatment is led by specialists like Dra. Sonia Peña, who has over 20 years of experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Expert Surgical Team
The plastic surgery unit is led by Dra. Sonia Peña. She is a member of the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE) and has over 20 years of medical experience. Dr. Roberto Herrero also performs body contouring at the clinic. Dr. Herrero is a specialist in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery with a focus on personalized body sculpting. The clinic holds a 4.9 rating from nearly 300 patient reviews and has received the WhatClinic Patient Service Award.
Advanced Liposuction Techniques
Surgeons at the clinic use several methods to shape the waistline. Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a special fluid to reduce bleeding and bruising. The team also uses Microaire, which features a vibrating cannula to remove fat more gently. For patients seeking muscle definition, high-definition liposuction helps sculpt the natural lines of the body. These procedures usually take between 1 and 3 hours depending on the amount of fat removed.
Procedure and Recovery Details
Most patients undergo surgery under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia is an option for larger areas. The treatment is typically outpatient, so patients return home the same day. The price includes the surgery, anesthesia, and post-operative follow-up visits. Patients should plan to pay separately for pre-operative tests, compression garments, and medication. Recovery involves the following steps:
- Wearing a compression garment for several weeks to support the new body shape.
- Resuming light physical activity starting in the second week after surgery.
- Undergoing optional lymphatic drainage or polarized light therapy to help healing.
- Waiting 3 to 6 months to see the final, definitive results.
The clinic requires patients to stop smoking and complete blood tests before the procedure. You can request a consultation to get a personalized treatment plan through Bookimed.

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.
