Liposuction Surgery in NY
Understanding Liposuction
Liposuction, also known as suction-assisted lipectomy, is a minimally invasive fat removal procedure designed to target stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. This body contouring procedure can effectively sculpt and refine areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, back, arms, chin, and more.
While liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, it is an excellent option for those looking to enhance their natural shape and improve body proportions.
Who is a candidate for liposuction?
- Individuals looking to remove localized fat deposits
- Patients with good skin elasticity for optimal contouring
- Those who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with stubborn fat
- Healthy individuals with realistic expectations
- Non-smokers with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle
Liposuction is best suited for body sculpting rather than weight loss. Patients should have a stable BMI and maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen for long-lasting results.
Personalized Consultation Process
A comprehensive consultation is essential to:
During the consultation, the surgeon carefully examines the patient’s fat distribution, skin elasticity, and overall body proportions to ensure the best approach for achieving natural, balanced results.
- Evaluate areas of concern and discuss treatment goals
- Determine the best liposuction technique for the patient’s unique needs
- Discuss realistic expectations, post-operative care, and long-term maintenance
- Create a personalized body contouring plan
Techniques & Procedure
Liposuction is performed using a small, thin cannula that gently removes excess fat through suction. This
technique allows for precise sculpting and contouring without excessive trauma to the surrounding tissues.
Types of Liposuction Techniques:
- Traditional Liposuction – A time-tested approach that involves manual fat removal using a small cannula.
- Micro-Liposuction – A refined technique using very small cannulas to precisely remove fat near the skin’s surface, perfect for delicate areas like the face or neck.
- Ultrasonic Liposuction (UAL) – Uses ultrasound waves to emulsify fat cells, making it particularly effective for fibrous areas like the chest, back, and male gynecomastia treatment.
- Scarring is minimal, as the procedure requires only small, hidden incisions.
Commonly Treated Areas:
- Abdomen & Flanks (Love handles)
- Thighs & Hips
- Upper Arms
- Back & Bra Roll
- Chin & Neck
- Knees & Ankles
Procedure:
- Procedure Duration:1-3 hours, depending on the number of treatment areas
- Anesthesia:Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia
- Incisions:Small, discreet incisions for optimal healing
