Liposuction
Liposuction
Liposuction is the most versatile tool used in body contouring. The procedure is performed by extracting fat deposits through a small hidden incision in the skin, usually under local anesthesia and mild sedation. After the procedure the patient can return to normal activity in less than a week.
Liposuction
How much fat can be extracted in one procedure?
Most states limit liposuction volume in no more than 5 liters of fat per procedure. This way, maximum safety and aesthetically pleasing results can be obtained.
Does liposuction make excess skin retract?
Depends on the patient. Liposuction induces skin retraction when the excess is mild, and the skin is elastic. Skin stretch marks, fine wrinkles, advanced age and big skin excess are signs of poor skin elasticity. In these cases, the chances the skin will retract after liposuction only are low and the patient should consider additional solution to regain skin tightness.
Can liposuction create six-pack
Yes, it can. In a technique called “etching” the surgeon can accentuate the borders of the “six pack” muscle and make it “stand out” by giving it a more athletic and slim appearance. This technique can be added to the liposuction procedure and requires wearing additional compressive dressing for 3 days. The patient would still need to maintain adequate abdominal exercise to achieve the six-pack appearance.

Your Transformation
I am a New York Licensed and an Israeli Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. I serve as the Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Mount Sinai Elmhurst Hospital after completing two specialty fellowship programs: a reconstructive microsurgery fellowship specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, and a Lymphedema surgery fellowship program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
I hold a PhD in epidemiology and public health from the Sackler School of Medicine in Israel, which helps me to evaluate novel published treatments and technologies that can benefit my patients. I believe that my medical knowledge directly correlates with the quality of care I provide to my patients, and therefore, in addition to patient care, I am routinely involved in medical research.
I am the author of more than 50 peer reviewed scientific publications, and often present my own work in international plastic surgery conferences. My main research interest is patient reported outcome measurement, a new tool that puts the patient in the center of care.
I care for every patient like she or he is my first degree relative. I am responsible for my patients no matter the outcome, and without an expiration date. My relationship with my patients is built on mutual trust, honesty and setting realistic expectations.”
