Upper arm liposuction in Gender Medic Unit
About the clinic
Upper arm liposuction at Clínica San Clemente in Zaragoza, Spain, helps remove persistent fat deposits to create a more defined arm shape. The clinic holds the WhatClinic Patient Service Award and treats over 5,000 patients every year. This procedure is especially effective for the posterior arm area where fat often resists diet and exercise.
Advanced Contouring Techniques
The clinic uses several modern methods to achieve precise results. Each technique serves a specific goal for the patient:
- VASER Liposuction uses ultrasound to break down fat cells while protecting other tissues.
- Microaire (PAL) involves a vibrating cannula that makes fat removal smoother and reduces physical trauma.
- Laser Liposuction helps tighten the skin during the fat removal process.
- Tumescent Liposuction uses a special liquid solution to minimize bleeding and bruising.
- High Definition (HD) Liposuction focuses on sculpting the contours of the muscles for a toned look.
Hospitalization and Safety
Surgeries take place in authorized hospital environments through the clinic's affiliation with the Hospital HC group. Most patients go home the same day as the procedure. If a case is more complex, the medical team provides 24-hour observation. Doctors use either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia based on the size of the treatment area.
Recovery and Aftercare
The recovery process includes a structured plan to help the body heal quickly. Most people return to office work within 3 to 7 days. Walking and light activity can start during the second week, while intense exercise requires a wait of one month. Patients wear a compression garment for several weeks to support the new contours.
Clínica San Clemente provides specific therapies to speed up healing. These include manual lymphatic drainage and Indiba radiofrequency. These treatments help reduce swelling and inflammation in the weeks following surgery. While initial changes appear quickly, final results usually show after 3 to 6 months.
If you are interested in refining your arm contours, you can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss a personalized plan.

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.
