Liposuction in New York: Areas and Price

Yes, it is standard practice. Patients rarely have one area treated alone and more often combine several problem zones, such as abdomen and flanks or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, based on your health and the result you want.

No. Liposuction won't make you lose weight. Its aim is to remove local fat that resists diet and exercise and to reshape your contours. If your weight is not stable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist beforehand.

It is done through tiny punctures of 3–7 mm, which usually need no stitches. Once they heal, the marks are barely noticeable, and proper care in recovery lets them fade completely.

Before surgery the surgeon always evaluates the skin's tone, elasticity and turgor. Good-quality skin tightens by itself to match the new contours. If tone is reduced or you have stretch marks, our specialists will advise preparatory treatments to improve the skin ahead of time.

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 exertion or heavy lifting during the first 7 days. Compression garments for 4–6 weeks, with the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport off the table. For at least a month, alcohol and tanning beds are off-limits. Individual recommendations are given by your surgeon after surgery.

Patients aged 18+ with no contraindications can have the surgery. There is no upper age limit; we decide individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. Liposuction removes fat tissue but does not change the skin structure that causes cellulite. Still, improved body contours visibly reduce its appearance.

A return to work and the usual routine takes most patients 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising resolve by weeks 4–5; the final result takes shape in 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

You won't need a strict diet, but nutrition is important for keeping your result. The removed fat cells do not come back; the remaining ones, though, can grow if weight increases. We recommend balanced eating and regular physical activity for a lasting result.

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.

You'll see the first changes 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides. The interim result is judged at 1.5–2 months; the final contours take 3–6 months to form.
