Liposuction in Manhattan and New Jersey

Liposuction is a safe and effective way to remove stubborn fat and contour the body. Using the tumescent technique, we target areas like the thighs, flanks, abdomen, and neck for natural-looking results at a surgicenter or hospital in our Manhattan and New Jersey locations.

Tumescent Liposuction

Liposuction is the 2nd most common cosmetic surgical procedure (behind breast augmentation). And, as one of my most commonly performed procedures, I gave the liposuction lecture to the residents at Columbia and Cornell. I perform liposuction in the hospital or surgicenter and perform consultations and followup at my Park Avenue office in Manhattan and at my office in Franklin Park, New Jersey.

Women commonly have their thighs, flanks, knees, tummy, and neck suctioned. Less commonly, the arms, calves, ankles, and mons pubis can be contoured.

Liposuction is incredibly safe. Surprisingly, there is very little pain after the procedure, and most people can return to work within 2-3 days of the procedure. Suctioning up to 10 pounds of fat is reasonable, but if you need more than that, you should go on a weight loss program before surgery. Most suction is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient. Some physicians use very high amounts of the anesthetic lidocaine and perform the procedure under local anesthesia. Paradoxically, that technique is more dangerous than suction performed under general anesthesia. I’ve published a scientific paper and textbook chapters stressing safety with liposuction and the importance of NOT using high doses of the anesthetic lidocaine during liposuction procedures.

I perform liposuction using the tried and proven “tumescent” technique. I don’t use ultrasonic or laser liposuction, because those techniques have a higher complication rate than the technique I use.

Neck and Jowl Liposuction

Perhaps the biggest “bang for your buck” procedure in plastic surgery, neck liposuction can give you the appearance of significant weight loss, after just 90 minutes in the operating room. In older people, this procedure can give some of the benefit seen in facelifts, with less risk. Sometimes fat is not just under the skin, but under the (platysma) muscles also. When this happens, you'll need to have this fat removed during a "platysmaplasty" operation. I call this a “band-lift^TM” procedure, and the results can be truly spectacular! This procedure is particularly good for men who do not traditionally do well with facelift scars.
