Understanding Liposuction: Advanced Body Contouring Technique

Dr. Decorato offers liposuction (lipoplasty) to patients throughout New York and New Jersey, specializing in targeted fat removal and body sculpting. This precise surgical technique removes excess fat deposits to improve body contours and create a more proportionate silhouette.

Is Liposuction Right for You?

Liposuction is ideal for patients seeking targeted fat reduction in specific body areas. Unlike general weight loss strategies, this procedure focuses on stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise.

Ideal Liposuction Candidates

At or near goal weight (within 30 pounds)
Targeted fat deposits in specific body areas
No serious medical contraindications
Firm, elastic skin with good contour potential

Procedure Details

Liposuction is typically performed under local anesthesia, involving small incisions and a specialized cannula to remove fat cells. The procedure carefully sculpts body contours, typically removing five pounds of fat or less to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery varies by individual but generally allows return to work within 3-7 days. Patients should expect temporary side effects like soreness, bruising, and swelling, managed through compression garments and proper post-operative care.
