Liposuction Surgery in the NYC Tri-State area

The liposuction procedure has been popular in New York City and around the world for many years. As technology has advanced, cosmetic surgeons have been able to make improvements to an already safe and effective procedure. Men and women alike can benefit greatly from liposuction with a skilled cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Edmund Kwan prides himself in being able to take on this procedure on any part of the body, even the face. Some of the common areas in which liposuction can be done include:

• Arms
• Back
• Neck
• Ankles
• Calves
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Saddlebags
• Love handles
• Hips
• Stomach

Making tiny incisions in the skin, your surgeon uses specialized tools to gently loosen the fat beneath the skin prior to the actual liposuction procedure. The loosened fat can then be suctioned out through a cannula, which is a small hollow tube like a straw. Many surgeons and patients alike view liposuction as more of a sculpting procedure. This is because the reduction of fat in specified areas typically leads to better overall proportions and better contours.

Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery procedure that may be performed on its own, or in combination with another procedure, such as a tummy tuck. Where liposuction reduces the fat that lies under the skin, the tummy tuck procedure will remove excess skin that may not tighten back to its normal state on its own. During your consultation with Dr. Kwan, an assessment of the skin will help in making the determination if liposuction alone will produce the desired effect.

Being a Board Certified Surgeon, Dr. Kwan is armed with both the academic and technical expertise and experience to help patients accomplish their desired outcome from liposuction surgery. In many cases, today this procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, with the patient receiving specific pre- and post-operative instruction to facilitate optimal, stress-free recovery. Liposuction is a safe procedure that can benefit any adult who wishes to eliminate unwanted, excess fat. Dr. Kwan's prime motive is to help you improve your outward appearance so that it matches your inner vigor and beauty.
