Liposuction in New Jersey: Types, Benefits, and What You Can Expect

When it comes to body contouring, liposuction remains one of the most popular and effective options for achieving a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. At Plastic Surgery Arts of New Jersey (PSANJ), Dr. Philip Wey, MD, FACS, offers unparalleled expertise in this transformative procedure. With decades of experience and a commitment to personalized care, Dr. Wey helps patients enhance their confidence and reach their aesthetic goals through advanced liposuction techniques.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common target areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms, back, and neck. While not a weight-loss solution, liposuction is ideal for patients close to their goal weight who want to refine specific areas and achieve a more balanced physique.

Types of Liposuction 

At PSANJ, patients have access to the latest liposuction techniques, ensuring results that align with their unique goals and needs:

• Traditional Liposuction: A tried-and-true method for removing fat using a cannula and suction device.
• Tumescent Liposuction: Involves injecting a saline solution to minimize discomfort and reduce bleeding during the procedure.
• Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Uses ultrasonic energy to break down fat for easier removal, particularly in fibrous areas like the back.
• Laser-Assisted Liposuction: Employs laser energy to liquefy fat, allowing for precise contouring and skin tightening.

Dr. Wey will recommend the best technique based on your anatomy, goals, and the treatment area.

Benefits of Liposuction

• Targeted Fat Reduction: Eliminate stubborn pockets of fat to achieve a more proportionate silhouette.
• Improved Confidence: Enjoy greater self-assurance with a refined, sculpted appearance.
• Long-Lasting Results: Fat cells removed during liposuction do not regenerate, provided you maintain a stable weight.
• Enhanced Mobility: For some patients, removing excess fat can lead to improved physical comfort and mobility.
