Liposuction (Liposculpture)
Island Plastic Surgery offers Liposuction to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
Women and men who have unwanted fat in certain areas love the option of liposuction to minimize and shape their contours. Through our advanced liposuction techniques at Island Plastic Surgery, our New York surgical staff can expertly and easily enhance the appearance of almost any part of your body. Liposuction, also known as liposculpture or lipo, can also help to dramatically improve your self-esteem.
At our Mineola and West Islip offices, our liposuction patients tend to target the stomach, thighs and love handles. Although these are the most popular treatment areas, lipo can be performed on virtually anywhere fat cells are abundant, including the neck, arms, hips, buttocks and knees. This flexibility contributes to the high demand for liposuction throughout the Long Island community. Men and women travel from New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT, to attain a smoother, firmer appearance with Island's liposculpture procedures.
Am I a Good Candidate for Liposuction?
Liposuction will not tighten muscle or skin, nor is it a method for overall weight loss. The procedure is designed to target localized pockets of fat that are particularly resistant to diet and exercise. Lipo works best for patients with good skin tone and elasticity who are at their ideal weight.
If you are considering liposculpture with us in Mineola or West Islip, it is important to keep in mind that the procedure has limitations. Liposuction will only remove fat under the skin; it will not eliminate fat that is inside the abdomen or under muscle.
Liposuction Before and After Pictures
Before you make any decisions about lipo, please peruse some liposuction before and after pictures. Seeing the images will give you a realistic idea of what you may expect from the procedure. Our staff will be happy to share our liposculpture before and after pictures when you meet with us at either our Mineola or West Islip location.
How is Liposuction Performed?
Your lipo specialist will make little incisions in the target areas and then inject a solution to limit blood loss and reduce discomfort. A thin, hollow tube, called a cannula, will be inserted into the fat to break it up and then vacuum it out. Because of the small size of the incisions, our liposuction patients in Mineola and West Islip experience minimal scarring.
With liposculpture, you are actually eliminating fat cells from your body. As a result, the effects are considered permanent, meaning you tend to not regain weight in the treated areas. However, the long-lasting success of liposuction is contingent on proper diet and exercise. If you follow an unhealthy lifestyle, your weight gain will more than likely show up as fat in another, untreated location.
What are Liposuction Costs?
One of the benefits of lipo is that it can be used on almost any part of your body. However, this flexibility can also affect pricing. When you undergo liposuction in New York, the cost will depend on the extent of the procedure, which can vary widely from patient to patient. To best ascertain what liposuction prices would be for you, please discuss your case during a private consultation at Island's Mineola or West Islip office.
When you work with Island Plastic Surgery, you will be treated with warmth and respect. We will make sure you are well-informed about liposuction, so you can make the best decision for you. We are proud to offer lipo to patients in and around the Long Island area, including residents of Mineola, West Islip, New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT.
