Body Contouring Liposuction New York, NY | David L. Abramson, MD

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or lipo, is a popular cosmetic surgery technique designed to remove excess fat deposits and sculpt the body into a more streamlined form. This procedure targets specific body areas that remain resistant to diet and exercise.

Areas Addressed by Liposuction

Thighs
Hips and buttocks
Abdomen and waist
Upper arms
Back
Inner knee
Chest area
Cheeks, chin and neck
Calves and ankles

How Liposuction Works

The liposuction procedure involves identifying and marking areas with excess fat. Using either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, a small, thin hollow tube is inserted into tiny incisions. The cannula breaks up fat deposits, which are then vacuumed away, creating a more sculpted body contour.

Candidate Criteria for Liposuction

Attempted diet and exercise
Normal weight for height
Good overall health
Specific fat deposits
Good skin elasticity
Realistic expectations

Procedure Methods

Dr. Abramson offers two primary liposuction techniques: tumescent liposuction (using saline solution) and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (using sound wave vibrations). During consultation, he will recommend the most suitable approach for your specific body contouring goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients typically return to normal activities within one to two weeks. A compression garment helps reduce swelling and maintain newly sculpted contours. Some bruising and swelling are normal and will gradually subside.
