Liposuction
You make your body a priority. You exercise regularly, watch what you eat, but you are still frustrated by persistent lumps, bumps, and bulges. It might seem impossible to rid yourself of that last bit of visible fat whether it is under your chin, on the back of your arms, on your tummy, or on your thighs.

Improvements from Liposuction in New York
Liposuction, also called lipoplasty, creates a more refined body contour by removing stubborn, localized fat deposits. The many benefits of this procedure include:
- Providing an alternative to plastic surgery by eliminating residual fat from specific areas like the chin, abdomen, thighs, or enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia)
- Balancing an out-of-proportion body type, for example reducing the saddlebags on the thighs of a "pear shaped" body
- Enhancing facial surgery procedures such as face lift and eyelid surgery by removing pockets of fat from under the chin or eyelids
Liposuction provides effective and satisfying results, but it is not a substitute for proper diet and regular exercise. It also is not an effective treatment for the dimpled skin that commonly forms from cellulite on the thighs and buttocks. Liposuction will not tighten loose, saggy skin that lacks elasticity. If your doctor determines that liposuction is not appropriate for you, he can suggest alternative New York plastic surgery procedures such as body lift, tummy tuck, or face lift in New York at one of our convenient locations.
Liposuction - Procedure Overview
After administering the initial anesthetic, your surgeon makes small inconspicuous incisions near the treatment area through which the excess fat is suctioned out with a small, hollow tube called a cannula. The time required to perform your procedure depends on the size and number of areas being treated and the volume of fat being removed.
Our surgeons offer several types of liposuction, including:
- Power-assisted liposuction (PAL), which uses a high-speed vibrating tip on the cannula to rapidly to dislodge fat cells for faster, precise, and more thorough fat removal
- Ultrasonic liposuction (UAL), which melts unwanted fat with ultrasound waves making removal easier
- Tumescent liposuction, which injects solutions to control pain and inhibit bleeding prior to removing the excess fat
- SmartLipo MPX™, which uses a high-powered laser inserted through a very small cannula to melt and eliminate small pockets of excess fat. The laser also stimulates natural collagen production, which in turn enhances skin tone
During your private appointment in one of our New York offices, your plastic surgeon will answer your questions, explain these techniques, and help you determine which is most likely to help you achieve optimum results.
What to Expect after Liposuction
After your procedure, treated areas may be swollen, bruised, and sore. You may need to wear compression wraps for a few weeks to minimize swelling and optimize your new body contour. Most patients are ready to return to light activity, including work, within just 3 to 5 days. You will need to avoid strenuous activity for at least 3 weeks.
After the swelling has diminished, our New York liposuction patients enjoy a smoother, more toned body contour from their procedure. They often gain self-confidence from looking great in a wider range of clothing options, or when wearing nothing at all. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly will help you sustain your slimmer shape for many years to come.
