heading  Liposction

NYC Liposuction Plastic Surgeon David P. Rapaport, MD, FACS is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in private practice in Manhattan, New York.  The NYC Plastic Surgeon performs hundreds of liposuction plastic surgery a year at his on-site fully accredited surgical suite in Manhattan, New York as an out-patient procedure.

Liposuction is defined by the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon as the removal of fat from deposits beneath the skin using a hollow stainless steel tube (called a cannula) with the assistance of a powerful vacuum. Liposuction can be accomplished either with the use of general anesthesia, or with heavy IV sedation, or totally by local anesthesia.

The NYC Liposuction Plastic Surgeon offers liposuction to safely sculpt body features by removing diet- and exercise-resistant fat in areas such as the abdomen, arms, neck, hips and thighs. This method offers a quicker recovery time and can produce excellent cosmetic results.

The most common areas treated by the Manhattan Liposuction Plastic Surgeon with liposuction include the neck, chin, abdomen, “love handles”, hips, thighs and calves. The NYC Plastic Surgeon treats many men in the chest area, to remove excess fat of the male breast found in a syndrome called “gynecomastia.”

During your initial liposuction consultation with the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon, David P. Rapaport,  he will first evaluate your health, determine where your fat deposits lie and assess the condition of your skin. The NYC liposuction plastic surgeon will explain the body-contouring methods that may be most appropriate for you. For example, if you believe you want liposuction in the abdominal area, you may learn that an abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" may more effectively meet your goals; or that a combination of traditional liposuction and UAL would be the best choice for you.

The important concept to remember is that Liposuction is a body shaping procedure, not a weight loss method.

According to the Manhattan Liposuction Plastic Surgeon, people who are good candidates for Liposuction Plastic Surgery are:

heading Men and women of normal weight, or close to it.
heading Some fat deposits on the face, body and neck just do not respond to exercise and diet.
heading People with good skin elasticity. (When the fat is removed, the skin bounces back, leaving a smoother appearance on the patient’s body).

If you are interested in liposuction plastic surgery and would like to learn more please make a liposuction consultation with the Manhattan, New York Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, David Rapaport MD, FACS at his NYC office by phoning 212.752.1129
