Liposuction in NYC
Liposuction shaped around you.
Liposuction refines your shape by removing localized fat and creating more balanced contours. It is a body-contouring procedure rather than a weight-loss treatment. Dr. Smith tailors your plan to your goals, anatomy and skin quality.
A personalized approach to your contours
Healthy patients with good skin elasticity often benefit from liposuction alone. If you also want to address loose skin, options are available to complement fat removal. During your consultation, Dr. Smith evaluates your skin and abdominal wall to help you choose the approach that fits your goals.
Options for skin tightening
BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to support skin tightening alongside liposuction in selected patients. A tummy tuck can address more substantial excess abdominal skin and, when appropriate, repair separated abdominal muscles. Dr. Smith can explain whether liposuction alone or a combined approach is best suited to you.
