Liposuction in Borough of Queens: Cost and Results

Yes, standard practice. Few patients treat just a single area; most combine several problem zones — abdomen and flanks, for example, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, taking into account your health and desired result.

No. Liposuction is not about weight loss. It removes stubborn local fat deposits that diet and exercise can't shift and reshapes body contours. If your weight is unstable, consult a nutritionist or endocrinologist first.

The surgery requires punctures of only 3–7 mm, usually without stitches. After healing the marks are barely visible; with the right care during recovery they fade completely.

Before surgery, skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always assessed by the surgeon. Healthy skin tightens by itself to follow the new contours. With reduced tone or stretch marks, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin beforehand.

No — the procedure is done under anesthesia (local or general, depending on the scope). After surgery mild discomfort is possible; it is relieved with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

No physical exertion or lifting heavy things for the first 7 days. Wear compression garments for 4–6 weeks and stay away from the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Avoid alcohol and tanning beds for at least a month. After surgery your surgeon gives you all individual recommendations.

Surgery is performed for patients 18+ without contraindications. There's no upper age limit: each decision is individual, after an examination and assessment of health.

Not directly. While liposuction removes fat tissue, it does not change the skin structure that causes cellulite. Improved body contours still visibly reduce its appearance.

After 7–10 days most patients are back to work and their usual routine. By weeks 4–5 swelling and bruising resolve. Once the tissues have fully adapted, in 3–6 months, the final result forms.

A strict diet isn't needed, but your nutrition matters for maintaining the result. Removed fat cells are gone for good, but the remaining ones can grow with weight gain. For a lasting result, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. 7–10 days before liposuction, give up smoking, alcohol and any medications affecting blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). Pre-operative tests are also needed — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. We give you all instructions after your first consultation.

2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling subsides, first changes appear. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed. Final contours form in 3–6 months.
