The NYC Plastic Surgeon is very experienced and performs hundreds of liposculpture surgeries per year.
Liposuction or liposculpture is one of the most dramatic procedures performed by the NYC Plastic Surgeon.

Liposculpture, also known as precision, selective, fine or micro liposuction, refers to the removal of smaller amounts of fat (often 1-3 ounces) than in traditional liposuction procedures. A growing trend, liposculpture is performed to sharpen, enhance, or accentuate features on persons who are usually fit or normal weight.

Liposculpture procedures are often performed on areas that were previously considered off-limits for safe and aesthetically pleasing fat removal. These areas include the neck, face, spine or upper back, ankles, upper arms, calves, and knees. Because many of these locations are less fatty than those targeted using traditional liposuction, and because some are located near major nerves and important blood vessels, liposculpture can be more technically and cosmetically challenging than liposuction that is performed on larger, fattier areas. Newer, more refined techniques of fat removal are allowing plastic surgeons to target these smaller and more delicate areas of the body.

The NYC Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is a specialist in all areas of liposuction and liposculpture.

Liposculpture tends to be a very popular procedure elected by the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon's patients. Liposculpture is a procedure which removes unwanted fat and contour various areas of the body. The procedure is generally done with patients lightly asleep. Several very small, carefully concealed incisions are made and specialized instruments are used to remove the fatty tissue.

The most common areas treated by the NYC Plastic Surgeon with liposculpture are the tummy, flanks (love handles), back, thighs, hips, knees, upper arms, and chin. Liposculpture of the tummy, flank, and low back give a dramatically thinner and defined waistline. Liposculpture of the thighs and hips give a longer leg, leaner and toned look. Each area treated tends to further enhance appearance.
