What is Liposuction (Liposculpture)?
Liposuction, also known as liposculpture, is a surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. Unlike general weight loss, liposculpture allows Dr. Giudicelli to precisely sculpt and contour specific zones — creating a more defined, athletic, and natural-looking silhouette.
Common treatment areas include the abdomen, flanks, back, arms, inner and outer thighs, knees, and chin. Liposuction is often combined with a tummy tuck or BBL to maximize body contouring results in a single surgery.
Lipo 360 in the Dominican Republic
Lipo 360 is a comprehensive liposuction technique that treats the entire midsection — abdomen, flanks, lower back, and waist — in a single procedure. Instead of removing fat from one isolated area, Dr. Giudicelli sculpts the full circumference of the waist for a more balanced, proportionate, and natural-looking contour.
Lipo 360 can be performed with traditional or VASER liposuction and is often combined with a BBL, using the removed fat to enhance the buttocks. Learn more in our guide to Lipo 360 in the Dominican Republic.

Frequently Asked Questions — Liposuction in the Dominican Republic
Does liposuction remove fat permanently?
Yes. Fat cells removed through liposuction do not come back. However, remaining fat cells in other areas can still expand with significant weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving your results.
Read more in our guide on liposuction results and how long they last.
How many areas can be treated in one session?
Dr. Giudicelli can safely treat multiple areas in a single session. The exact number depends on your anatomy, the volume of fat being removed, and your overall health. This will be determined during your virtual consultation.
Can I combine liposuction with other procedures?
Yes. Liposuction is commonly combined with a tummy tuck, BBL, or breast surgery in a single surgery. This reduces overall recovery time and cost. Dr. Giudicelli will advise the safest combination based on your goals and anatomy.
Not sure which procedure you need? Compare tummy tuck vs. liposuction, or read about VASER liposuction.
When will I see my final results?
Initial results are visible within the first few weeks as swelling subsides. Final results, including full resolution of swelling, are typically visible at 8–12 months post-surgery.
How long do I need to stay in the Dominican Republic after liposuction?
Plan to arrive in Santo Domingo 2–3 days before surgery and stay at least 13 days afterward for follow-up care. You will wear a compression garment for 3 months after surgery.

VASER Liposuction in the Dominican Republic
For patients looking for more precise body contouring results, Dr. Jean Paul Giudicelli Saba offers VASER liposuction — an advanced technique that goes beyond traditional liposuction to deliver smoother, more defined outcomes.
What Is VASER Liposuction?
VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) uses ultrasound energy to selectively break down fat cells before they are removed. Unlike traditional liposuction, VASER targets fat while preserving surrounding tissues such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
The result is less trauma to the body, faster recovery, and more refined contouring — especially in areas that require precision such as the abdomen, flanks, arms, and thighs.
Benefits of VASER Lipo vs. Traditional Liposuction
- More precise fat removal for defined, natural-looking results
- Less bruising and swelling compared to traditional techniques
- Faster recovery time
- Improved skin retraction for smoother results
- Ideal for high-definition body contouring
Who Is a Good Candidate for VASER Lipo?
VASER liposuction is ideal for patients who are close to their target weight but have stubborn areas of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is particularly effective for patients seeking high-definition results in the abdomen, flanks, back, arms, or thighs.
During your consultation, Dr. Giudicelli will evaluate your goals and anatomy to determine whether VASER or traditional liposuction is the right approach for you.
