The Procedure
What is Underarm Liposculpture?
Underarm liposculpture is a minimally invasive procedure to remove localised fat deposits in the axillary region — the bra-line bulge and armpit area — that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Through micro-incisions of 2–3 mm, fine cannulas are introduced to selectively extract fat, creating a smooth, defined transition between the arm, chest, and back.
Recovery is rapid — most patients return to daily activities within 48–72 hours — and results improve progressively over the following months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your questions
Your surgery includes the surgical procedure, a personalised nutritional plan, personal training sessions, all medical follow-up appointments, and continuous aftercare.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation. Post-operative discomfort is mild and easily managed with prescribed medication.
The first results are visible within a few weeks. The final outcome is appreciated between 3 and 6 months after the procedure.
With our comprehensive method including a nutritionist and personal trainer, we transform your habits to maintain permanent results. The extracted fat cells do not return.
Most patients resume their daily activities within 48–72 hours. Medical follow-up ensures an optimal and safe recovery.
Liposculpture performed by an accredited plastic surgeon in a hospital operating theatre has a very high safety profile, according to SECPRE. Serious complications are rare when protocols and safe extraction volumes are respected.
Traditional liposuction removes volume globally. Underarm liposculpture is selective and artistic, extracting fat with millimetric precision. At NATURAL FIT we add ultrasonic Vaser and Renuvion for skin retraction.
Incisions are 2–3 mm and placed in the armpit fold. With proper post-operative care, in most patients the scar is practically imperceptible after 6–12 months.
The procedure is not appropriate for individuals with significant obesity (BMI above 30), serious clotting disorders, decompensated cardiovascular disease, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or patients with unrealistic expectations.
The procedure takes between 1 and 2 hours. It is day-case surgery: you go home the same day after a few hours of observation. Hospitalisation is not required in standard cases.

Honest information
Risks and safety of underarm liposculpture
Every surgical procedure, however minimally invasive, carries risks. We explain them transparently so that you can make an informed decision. At NATURAL FIT Body Contouring® we apply the strictest protocols to minimise them.
Haematomas and seromas
Accumulation of blood or fluid in the treated area. The compression garment and lymphatic drainage minimise their occurrence; when they arise they resolve with medical management.
Contour irregularities
Minor asymmetries or skin waviness may appear in some cases. Vaser and PAL Microaire technology significantly reduces this risk, though it cannot be eliminated entirely.
Sensitivity changes
Numbness, tingling, or hypersensitivity in the treated area is common during the weeks or months following surgery. Normal sensitivity is gradually restored.
Infection
Risk is low thanks to strict aseptic protocols and antibiotic prophylaxis. Warning signs (fever, redness, increasing pain) are monitored at follow-up appointments.
Venous thrombosis
An uncommon but serious risk. Prevented with compression stockings, heparin prophylaxis when indicated, and early mobilisation from the first 24 hours.
Scarring
The 2–3 mm incisions heal very well in most skin types. In skin prone to keloids or hypertrophic scarring, a prior assessment is carried out and the post-operative plan is adjusted accordingly.
According to the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE), liposculpture is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures in Spain and presents a very high safety profile when carried out by an accredited plastic surgeon in a hospital setting, respecting safe extraction volumes.
