Liposuction

Excess stubborn fat that is not responsive to a healthy diet and exercise can hinder your confidence.  Liposuction can remove this stubborn fat from various body areas to help improve your contour. It is important to note that this is not a weight loss or cellulite reduction procedure.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction removes localized fat deposits in the body. It can be paired with other procedures to help you achieve your goals. Liposuction can address areas of fat on the abdomen, back, waist, chest, neck, hips, thighs, and upper arms.

A liposuction procedure typically lasts 45 minutes and several hours, depending on the amount of fat treated. The treated areas will remain permanently slimmer, but patients need to maintain their goal weight through proper diet and exercise, as weight gain can still occur in other areas of the body.

Liposuction Candidates

Ideal liposuction patients include those experiencing excess stubborn fat that is still persistent even with a good diet and exercise. This surgery works best on individuals with healthy and firm skin. Others may need simultaneous skin tightening treatments to address loose skin. To be considered a good candidate for liposuction surgery, you should be in overall good health, a non-smoker, have a BMI of 30 or less, and be at a stable weight for at least 6 months.

The High Definition Liposuction Procedure

HD liposuction enhances the traditional liposuction technique while maintaining its best qualities. Before fat cells are suctioned out, HD liposuction uses VASER, a unique ultrasound technology, to liquefy fat in trouble spots. This added step makes the procedure much more precise, allowing Dr. Farber and Dr. D’Agostino to sculpt around the muscles in the treatment area carefully.

The Renuvion Liposuction Procedure

Renuvion is an advanced technology that combines helium plasma with radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin and enhance your liposuction results. Dr. Farber and Dr. D’Agostino use a thin probe to deliver controlled energy beneath the skin during the procedure. This process causes the tissue to contract instantly and triggers collagen production, promoting long-term skin tightening over the following months. 

Renuvion is particularly beneficial for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who wish to avoid invasive surgical procedures. By integrating Renuvion with liposuction, patients can achieve fat removal and a firmer and more youthful contour.

Dr. D is AMAZING!

I knew two things were most important to me when looking for the right surgeon: the results and bedside manner. I feel so grateful to have hit the jackpot with Dr D who gave me the BEST of both of those. From the first moment I met her in the consult, I knew she was different from most doctors. She is incredibly kind, sweet, patient, and attentive. She made me feel cared for in a way that’s hard to put into words, but when you’re preparing for a big surgery, it’s the exact type of energy that puts you at total ease. Dr D not only answered all my questions, on multiple different occasions, leading up to surgery but she was extremely patient with them all.

There’s way too many good things to say about Dr. Farber!

I did my research and met with two other doctors before I met with Dr. Farber. There’s way too many good things to say about Dr Farber and staff. I must say he’s very professional and enthusiastic about his profession. The doctor followed up with regular visits to see how I was healing. I waited one whole year before I decided to make a comment about my procedure. To be sure all is good. Now a year later all I have to say is, God bless Dr. Farber. I really appreciate everything he did for me. He is a wonderful person & doctor along with his staff…
