MELA (Mini Ambulatory Lipid Extraction)

MELA at Kuzmar Clinic. Outpatient medical procedure for localized fat reduction

At Kuzmar Clinic (Alicante), we perform MELA (Mini Ambulatory Lipid Extraction), a minor surgical procedure indicated for the treatment of small, localized fat deposits that do not respond adequately to diet or exercise.

It is a minimally invasive medical technique, carried out by qualified physicians in authorized medical facilities, aimed at improving body contour in selected areas.

What is MELA?

MELA is an outpatient medical procedure that allows the controlled reduction of small volumes of adipose tissue through micro-incisions and fine cannulas, performed under local anesthesia.

Areas that may be evaluated for treatment

After individualized medical assessment, MELA may be indicated in areas such as:

  • Submental region (double chin)

  • Selective facial contour

  • Upper arms

  • Pre-axillary area

  • Back

  • Flanks

  • Lateral thighs

  • Knees

Suitability depends on anatomical characteristics and the patient’s general health status.

Procedure time

The duration usually ranges between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Results

The reduction of treated adipose tissue is considered stable; however, outcomes may vary according to individual factors, healing process, and lifestyle. Final evaluation is performed after post-procedural swelling has resolved, typically within a few weeks.
