About the Procedure
Dr. Lefkowitz will use the latest technology to help you customize your treatment plan prioritizing your personal aesthetic desires and the most natural appearance.
Liposuction is performed through tiny inconspicuous incisions. Small tubes are then used to remove the excess fat. Areas to be treated are infused with an anesthetic solution to allow for a pain free and meticulous procedure with minimal bleeding. Several areas may be treated with liposuction at once. For instance, you may have your neck, love handles and thighs addressed if those areas are determined to be amenable to liposuction techniques.
Depending on the regions treated and the amount of suctioning required, the typical procedure lasts between one and four hours. In most cases, it is performed as an outpatient procedure in an ambulatory surgery center. Occasionally, if larger volume liposuction is performed, an overnight stay in a hospital setting will be planned to allow for close monitoring.
Complementary Procedures
Liposuction is commonly performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck, face and neck lifts, as well as other procedures. Dr. Lefkowitz will thoroughly discuss your options should you wish to combine services.
