Advanced Liposuction New York | Brian D. Cohen, MD

Understanding Liposuction Surgery

Liposuction, commonly known as Lipo, is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to sculpt and reshape the body by removing undesirable fat deposits. This popular surgical technique targets specific body areas that have not responded to traditional diet and exercise methods.

Targeted Body Sculpting Areas

Dr. Brian D. Cohen performs liposuction on multiple body regions, including:

• Abdomen
• Waist
• Hips
• Buttocks
• Thighs
• Knees
• Neck
• Upper arms

Surgical Techniques

Multiple advanced liposuction methods are utilized, including tumescent and super-wet techniques. Each approach involves making tiny, strategically placed incisions to minimize visible scarring. A specialized cannula is inserted to break up and suction out targeted fat layers precisely.

Procedure Details and Expectations

Liposuction procedures can last between one to five hours, depending on the treatment area's complexity. Patients may receive local or general anesthesia based on their specific surgical plan.

Potential Surgical Risks

While complications are uncommon when performed by a qualified surgeon, potential risks include:

• Infection
• Healing delays
• Blood or fat clots
• Anesthesia reactions

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery typically involves compression garments, potential drainage tubes, and prescribed antibiotics. Most patients return to work within a few days, though strenuous activities should be avoided for approximately one month.

Recovery Expectations

Initial results are visible immediately, with continued improvements as swelling subsides over three months. Surgical scars remain small and inconspicuous, ensuring natural-looking body contours.
