Fat Removal Surgery in The Bronx

Yes, it is common practice. Patients seldom treat just one area; more often they combine several problem zones, for example abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will help you choose the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, based on your health and desired result.

No. It is not a weight-loss method. Liposuction removes local fat deposits that stay despite diet and exercise, reshaping body contours. When weight is unstable, a nutritionist or endocrinologist should be seen first.

Only 3–7 mm punctures are made, usually without stitches. After healing you can barely see the marks, and they fade completely with proper care during recovery.

Skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always evaluated by the surgeon before surgery. Skin in good shape tightens itself, following the new contours. Where tone is reduced or stretch marks exist, our specialists recommend preparatory treatments to get the skin ready in advance.

No. It is done under local or general anesthesia, depending on the scope. You may feel mild discomfort afterwards, which painkillers prescribed by the doctor relieve.

For 7 days after surgery avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting. Keep compression garments on for 4–6 weeks and avoid the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sports. Alcohol and tanning beds are not allowed for at least a month. All individual advice is given by your surgeon after surgery.

We operate on patients aged 18+ with no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — the decision is made 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.

Most patients return to work and everyday life in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising settle by weeks 4–5, while the final result forms over 3–6 months as the tissues fully adapt.

A strict diet isn't required, but nutrition matters for keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't come back, but the remaining ones can grow if you gain weight. For a lasting result we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. Stop smoking, alcohol and medications affecting blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction. Pre-operative tests are also needed: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound and consultations with a GP and anesthesiologist. All instructions are given 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.
