What to Expect During Your Liposuction Procedure in NYC

When you choose liposuction in NYC at Shafer Clinic, you can expect a comprehensive and comfortable experience from start to finish. Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. David Shafer, who will evaluate your medical history, assess your body's unique needs, and discuss your aesthetic goals. Together, you'll develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines the areas to be treated and the best liposuction technique for your desired results.

On the day of the procedure, you'll arrive at our luxurious clinic, where our friendly team will ensure you feel relaxed and at ease.

Depending on the extent of the liposuction, you may receive either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Dr. Shafer will make small incisions in the targeted areas, through which a cannula (a thin tube) is inserted to suction out the excess fat. Advanced techniques, such as tumescent liposuction or laser-assisted liposuction, may be utilized to enhance precision and minimize bruising and swelling. The entire procedure typically takes between one to three hours, depending on the number of areas being treated. After the surgery, you'll be moved to a recovery area where you can rest and begin the initial healing process.

What Is the Recovery Like After Liposuction Surgery?

Recovery after liposuction is generally straightforward, allowing you to return to your daily activities with minimal disruption. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the treated areas, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Wearing compression garments can help reduce swelling and support the healing process. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, while more strenuous exercises should be avoided for about two weeks to ensure optimal healing.

It's important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by our team to promote smooth and effective recovery. At Shafer Clinic, we prioritize your comfort and provide personalized support to help you achieve the best possible results with minimal downtime, ensuring you feel cared for and confident throughout your healing journey.

Liposuction FAQ

How much fat can be removed in the arms?

The amount of fat that can be removed from the arms really depends on each individual patient. At your exam, if the arms are full but there is no loose skin, then more fat can be taken out than from a patient with loose and hanging skin. There are some procedures such as BodyTite and Smartlipo which we can also use to help promote skin tightening prior to the liposuction portion of the procedure. It's best to schedule a consultation for an examination and to review your options.

Which areas could/should be addressed for a better shape during liposuction of the legs?

There are many areas that patients like to target for liposuction. During your consultation we formulate a plan based on your trouble areas as well and expected recovery. Many patients come in asking for one area but end up asking for several areas by the time surgery day arrives. It's important to balance treatment areas, surgical time, expected outcome and planned recovery time. Many popular combinations are the abdomen and lower back, the inner and outer thighs (+/- knees), neck and arms. In many cases patients want to augment other areas of their body with the fat such as their breasts or buttocks (BBL). This is easily performed at the same time as the liposuction. It's best to schedule a consultation so we can review all of your questions and concerns and formulate a surgical plan customized to your body.

What is the criteria for arm/armpit lipo?

Arm lipo can be an effective treatment for thick arms. However, if there is considerable loose skin, then a brachioplasty may be a better option. If you are unsure if you are a good candidate, you can post a picture here or email a picture to our office. Before any surgery it is best to have an in-person consultation to review your options and make sure that you are a good candidate.
