Dr. Jordan M.S. Jacobs, our board-certified plastic surgeon, ensures personalized, high-quality care to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Contour Your Body by Removing Stubborn Fat
Liposuction is a procedure that removes stubborn fat deposits from specific areas of the body. Using a suction technique, fat is carefully extracted to contour and reshape the body, providing a more toned appearance. It targets areas that often don’t respond to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, or chin. Performed by Dr. Jacobs, liposuction can be tailored to meet your individual needs, ensuring lasting results when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
You May Consider Liposuction If:
- You have stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise
- You want to contour areas like the abdomen, thighs, or chin
- You wish to enhance the results of other body procedures
- You experience disproportionate fat distribution due to genetics
- You want to improve your body’s overall silhouette
- You’re in good overall health and have realistic expectations
Your Liposuction Options at NYGPS
At New York Group for Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced liposuction techniques tailored to your specific needs and body type. Dr. Jacobs provides the highest level of care to achieve the best possible results. Here are the liposuction options available:
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL):
Power-assisted liposuction uses a vibrating cannula to help break up fat, making it easier to remove. The gentle vibration of the cannula enables more efficient fat extraction, particularly in denser fat areas. This is ideal for larger fat deposits, allowing for smoother contouring and minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
SmartLipo MPX:
SmartLipo MPX is a laser-assisted liposuction technique that uses a laser to liquefy fat before suctioning it out. This system facilitates fat removal while also promoting skin tightening by stimulating collagen production. Ideal for areas with thinner skin, like the arms, neck, and inner thighs, SmartLipo MPX helps achieve smooth and firm contours.
Explore Your Options & Visualize the Results
During your consultation, Dr. Jacobs will conduct a thorough assessment of your body and discuss your concerns. He’ll take the time to listen to your aesthetic goals and recommend the most suitable liposuction techniques based on your body type and desired outcome. You’ll also learn about the various liposuction options available, such as power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and SmartLipo MPX, and how they can help you achieve your goals.
To help you visualize your results, Dr. Jacobs utilizes the Vectra XT 3D imaging system. This technology captures ultra-high-resolution images of your body and simulates the projected outcome of your procedure. By allowing you to “try on” different results before the surgery, it helps you set realistic expectations and fully understand the potential transformation.
Your Liposuction Session
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Jacobs will first mark the areas where fat will be removed, carefully planning for optimal contouring. Depending on the areas treated and your comfort level, you’ll be given either local anesthesia with a sedative or light intravenous sedation. This ensures you are relaxed and pain-free throughout the process.
Once the anesthesia takes effect, Dr. Jacobs will make small incisions, typically about 2-3 mm in length, which are discreetly placed in natural folds or skin lines. A tumescent solution will be injected into the targeted areas to break down fat cells and prepare them for removal. Using a cannula, Dr. Jacobs will carefully suction out the fat. The procedure typically takes one to three hours, depending on the number of areas being treated.
The Recovery Process After Liposuction
After liposuction, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated areas. These are common side effects and typically subside within a few days to weeks. Dr. Jacobs will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, including wearing compression garments for 4-6 weeks, to help reduce swelling and support your skin as it returns to its new contours.
You may experience mild pain or tenderness, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks to allow your body to heal properly. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, although it’s recommended to avoid intense physical exertion for at least 4-6 weeks to ensure optimal results.
The Final Liposuction Results
As the swelling and bruising subside, you’ll begin to see the new contours of your body taking shape. Final results typically become noticeable within 3-6 months as the skin fully retracts and settles into its new form.
With a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, the results of your liposuction can be long-lasting, providing you with a more sculpted and youthful appearance that complements your natural body shape.
