Liposuction

For many of our New Jersey and Manhattan area patients, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly are not enough to remove the extra pockets of fat that often develop in the body's problem areas: chin, neck, arms, stomach, bra roll, hips, buttocks, legs, or ankles. For these patients, our Manhattan and New Jersey practices offer Liposuction as a way of targeting these problem areas to give the body a more toned and sculpted appearance.

The plastic surgeons of the Plastic Surgery Center perform hundreds of liposuction procedures annually using various state-of-the-art liposuction techniques. Our surgeons utilize newer liposuction technology to reduce the bruising and discomfort traditionally associated with the procedure, thus allowing the patient to recover and return to work in a shorter period of time.

We encourage you to visit us at one of our New Jersey or Manhattan locations to determine if you may be a candidate for liposuction. The best candidates for liposuction are those individuals that have reached, or are approaching their target weight but are unable to lose specific pockets of fat in certain areas including the lower abdomen, hips, outer thighs, or arms. Liposuction is not meant to be performed as a weight loss procedure and should never be a substitute for good nutrition and exercise. In fact, the only way to maintain the results after liposuction is by continuing to pursue a healthy lifestyle.

We offer complimentary liposuction consultations to our New Jersey and Manhattan patients at any of our locations. At the Plastic Surgery Center you will have the opportunity to speak with, and be evaluated by, one of our liposuction experts to determine if you are a candidate. Often liposuction will be performed in more than one part of the body. After consultation, your liposuction procedure will be tailored specifically to suit your needs and therefore have the best chance of achieving your desired aesthetic expectations.

At the Plastic Surgery Center we offer patients the opportunity to have their liposuction procedure performed at our fully certified outpatient surgical facility staffed with a board-certified anesthesiologist, registered nurses, and certified surgical technicians. Our surgi-center is open 5 days a week for scheduling convenience and provides our patients with a discrete, spa-like environment in which to have their liposuction procedure.

When we perform Liposuction at our New Jersey and Manhattan area practice, our plastic surgeon makes a small incision in the target area. Next, the plastic surgeon inserts a cannula (narrow tube) through the incision, vacuuming away and discarding unwanted fat. Liposuction, as performed at our New Jersey and Manhattan facilities, is a safe and highly effective procedure, delivering natural and pleasing results with a recovery that is often shorter than anticipated. We offer a form of liposuction that uses state-of-the-art technology to reduce the amount of bruising and post-operative discomfort, while maintaining the ability to accurately and effectively remove unwanted pockets of fat. After liposuction many patients are able to return to work within one or two days. Results are often immediate and continued improvements are seen over a period of approximately three to four months.
