Can I combine more than one body procedure in a single surgery?

Often, yes. Combining complementary procedures — such as liposuction with a tummy tuck, or the breast and abdominal procedures of a mommy makeover — can mean one anesthesia event and one recovery. Dr. Castellanos confirms what is safe to combine for you based on the extent of surgery, your health, and your goals during the consultation.

How do I recover from surgery while away from home?

Most patients traveling for body surgery stay in Guadalajara for several days to two weeks, depending on the procedure, before flying home. Our bilingual concierge team coordinates your accommodation, transportation, in-person follow-ups before you travel, and continued check-ins after you return home, so you are supported through every stage of recovery.

Is it safe to have body surgery in Mexico?

Yes, when performed by a board-certified surgeon in an accredited hospital. Dr. Castellanos is certified by the Mexican Council of Plastic Surgery and an international member of ISAPS and ASPS, and all surgery takes place under appropriate anesthesia with full monitoring at the accredited Centro Médico Real San José – Valle Real.

How do I know which body procedure I need?

It depends on your main goal — sculpting stubborn fat, removing loose skin, restoring your post-pregnancy body, or addressing skin after weight loss. Use the "how to choose" guide above as a starting point, then confirm your individualized plan in a consultation, where Dr. Castellanos evaluates your anatomy, skin quality, and objectives.

Will body contouring remove loose skin, or just fat?

That depends on the procedure. Liposuction and VASER remove fat but do not significantly tighten skin; lift procedures (tummy tuck, arm, thigh, and body lifts) remove excess skin; and BodyTite removes fat while tightening skin for milder laxity. When both fat and loose skin are present, techniques are often combined.

How much does body surgery cost in Guadalajara?

Each plan is priced individually based on the procedure or combination, technique, anesthesia, and facility fees, and is confirmed after your consultation. Many U.S. and Canadian patients find that board-certified care in Guadalajara represents significant savings versus comparable surgery at home — even after factoring in flights and accommodation.

Body Aesthetic Surgery

Body aesthetic surgery is a group of procedures that reshape the body by removing stubborn fat, tightening loose skin, and restoring proportion — so your shape better reflects your effort and your goals. It covers everything from sculpting diet-resistant fat with liposuction, to removing excess skin after pregnancy or major weight loss, to enhancing curves with a Brazilian Butt Lift. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos builds an individualized plan for each patient, using refined and energy-assisted techniques for natural, balanced results.

Procedures

Liposuction

Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that permanently removes pockets of stubborn fat — from the abdomen, flanks, back, arms, thighs, or under the chin — to reveal a smoother, more defined shape. It is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method: it sculpts areas that resist diet and exercise rather than reducing overall body weight. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos tailors each liposuction to your anatomy and goals, using refined techniques — including high-definition (HD) sculpting — for natural, proportionate results, with full bilingual concierge support from virtual consultation through recovery.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) flattens and firms the abdomen by repairing separated abdominal muscles and removing loose, excess skin — a result that diet and exercise alone usually cannot achieve. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos tailors each abdominoplasty to the patient's anatomy, whether the goal is correcting muscle separation after pregnancy, removing the apron of skin left after major weight loss, or refining the waistline. For patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical expertise with full bilingual concierge support, from virtual consultation through recovery.

VASER Liposuction

VASER liposuction is an ultrasound-assisted body-contouring procedure that uses sound-wave energy to gently emulsify fat before removing it — allowing for high-definition sculpting, cleaner work in fibrous areas, and a smoother, more athletic result. Unlike traditional liposuction, VASER (Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance) selectively targets fat while being gentler on surrounding blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue — which is what makes precise muscle definition, or "HD" and "4D" sculpting, possible. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos uses VASER to reveal natural underlying contours — defined abdomens, sculpted waists, etched athletic lines — tailored to your anatomy and goals. For patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical expertise with full bilingual concierge support, from virtual consultation through recovery.

BBL & Buttock Augmentation

A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) reshapes and adds volume to the buttocks by transferring your own purified fat, while buttock augmentation can also be achieved with implants when fat is limited. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos performs buttock augmentation with a safety-first technique designed for natural, balanced curves that fit your frame. For patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical expertise with full bilingual concierge support, from virtual consultation through recovery.

BodyTite

BodyTite® is a minimally invasive body-contouring procedure that removes fat and tightens loose skin at the same time — through a tiny incision, using radiofrequency energy, with far less downtime than a surgical lift. It sits in the middle ground between traditional liposuction (which removes fat but does not tighten skin) and an excisional surgery like a tummy tuck or arm lift (which removes skin but requires longer scars and recovery). For patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity, it can deliver firmer, smoother contours without large incisions. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos uses BodyTite to refine the abdomen, flanks, arms, thighs, and more — pairing the technology with full bilingual concierge support for patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, from virtual consultation through recovery.

Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia surgery removes excess glandular tissue and fat from the male chest to create a flatter, firmer, more masculine contour — a permanent correction for enlarged male breasts. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos tailors each procedure to the underlying cause of your gynecomastia, whether it is firm breast gland, excess fat, or a combination of both. For men traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical precision with full bilingual concierge support and complete discretion — from a private virtual consultation through recovery.

Body Lift

A body lift is a major contouring surgery that removes excess, sagging skin and stubborn fat from around the lower torso — the abdomen, flanks, back, buttocks, and outer thighs — most often after massive weight loss. It is the procedure that finishes the journey for patients who have lost a great deal of weight through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery and are left with loose, hanging skin that no amount of effort can tighten. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos plans each body lift around your anatomy, the amount of excess skin, and your overall health — restoring a firmer, more proportionate contour with carefully placed incisions. For patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical expertise with full bilingual concierge support, from virtual consultation through an extended recovery.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An arm lift — known medically as brachioplasty — removes loose, sagging skin and excess fat from the upper arms to create a firmer, smoother, more toned contour from the armpit to the elbow. It is the definitive solution for "bat wings" — the hanging upper-arm skin that diet and exercise cannot tighten, most often left behind by major weight loss or the natural loss of skin elasticity with age. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos plans each arm lift around your skin laxity and goals, frequently combining it with liposuction for a slimmer, more refined result. For patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical expertise with full bilingual concierge support, from virtual consultation through recovery.

Thigh Lift

A thigh lift (thighplasty) is a body-contouring surgery that removes excess, sagging skin — and often stubborn fat — from the inner or outer thighs to create a smoother, firmer, more youthful contour. It is most often chosen by patients left with loose, hanging skin after major weight loss or with the natural laxity that comes with age, where diet and exercise can shrink fat but cannot tighten skin that has lost its elasticity. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos tailors each thigh lift to your skin laxity, fat distribution, and goals — selecting the incision pattern that gives the firmest result with the most discreet scarring, and frequently combining it with liposuction. For patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical expertise with full bilingual concierge support, from virtual consultation through recovery.

Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck (mini-abdominoplasty) is a streamlined body-contouring surgery that removes excess skin and tightens the lower abdomen below the navel through a single short incision — without repositioning the belly button. It is designed for patients whose concern is limited to a small "pooch" of loose skin and laxity below the belly button, rather than the full abdomen. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos performs the mini tummy tuck with a shorter incision, a more contained recovery, and natural, proportionate results. For patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical expertise with full bilingual concierge support, from virtual consultation through recovery.

Mommy Makeover

A mommy makeover combines a tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction into a single procedure and recovery to restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding. At Fibonacci Plástica, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rigoberto Castellanos designs each mommy makeover around the individual patient — combining only the procedures that fit your goals, anatomy, and timeline. For patients traveling from the United States, Canada, and across Mexico, the practice pairs surgical expertise with full bilingual concierge support, from virtual consultation through recovery.

How to choose the right body procedure

The right procedure depends on your primary goal — reducing fat, removing loose skin, restoring your post-pregnancy body, or addressing the skin left after major weight loss. A simple rule of thumb: fat removal sculpts shape, while lift procedures remove skin.

Stubborn fat with good skin tone → liposuction or VASER liposuction for sculpting; a BBL to add volume with that fat. Loose skin with mild laxity → BodyTite (fat removal plus skin tightening without long incisions). Loose abdominal skin or separated muscles → a tummy tuck, or mini-abdominoplasty for laxity below the navel only. Changes after pregnancy → a mommy makeover tailored to your breasts and abdomen. Significant skin after major weight loss → a body lift, arm lift, and thigh lift. Excess male chest tissue → gynecomastia surgery. When both fat and loose skin are present — common after pregnancy or weight loss — the two are often combined in one surgery and recovery.
