Liposuction
Microcannula power-assisted liposuction under tumescent local anesthesia, with light IV sedation or Pro-Nox if you prefer. You stay awake, stand at the mirror at the end and skip the compression garment afterward.
Looking for the best liposuction plastic surgeons in New York City? Dr. Leonard Grossman has performed the procedure since 1993 and follows The Smarter Liposuction, his own protocol: tumescent local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, fine microcannulas, no stitches, a finish with you standing at a mirror and no compression garments. He treats the body, neck and chin, and calves and ankles at his surgery center in Brooklyn.
Liposuction for the body, neck and lower legs, all performed with the same comfort-first principles, with each plan tailored to the area and to your anatomy.
Microcannula power-assisted liposuction under tumescent local anesthesia, with light IV sedation or Pro-Nox if you prefer. You stay awake, stand at the mirror at the end and skip the compression garment afterward.
Many patients ask for Smart Lipo. After years with laser lipo, Dr. Grossman now prefers microcannulas for smoother, more predictable contours and an easier recovery.
Liposuction for heavy calves and ankles through tiny cannulas under local anesthesia, with most patients back at work within two days and no garments or narcotics.
Neck liposuction for a double chin, done in about 30 minutes under local or twilight anesthesia, with Renuvion tightening when the skin is lax.
Lipoetching, the technique Dr. Grossman developed and named in 1995 per his practice, uses extra-thin cannulas to carve fat along the abdominal muscles for six-pack definition.
Liposuction of the fat pad at the base of the neck under local anesthesia, usually in under an hour, with no sutures and no compression garment.
Not every doctor offering liposuction in New York City is a trained plastic surgeon. Dr. Grossman warns that in New York State any physician can legally operate in an office, so ask for proof of plastic surgery residency training. His own liposuction pairs that training with an eight-point protocol: no general anesthesia, a warm operating room, tiny incisions without stitches that keep scarring minimal, attention to symmetry, a finish standing at the mirror, no compression garments, minimal bruising and normal life the same day.
Dr. Grossman’s gallery includes liposuction of the flanks, abdomen, arms, back and thighs in women and men, with many results followed for a year or more.
Choosing among liposuction surgeons in New York City comes down to training, technique and how you recover.

Liposuction cost in New York City is not one number: fees vary from neighborhood to neighborhood and city to city, and the same name covers very different operations. Your cost depends on the number of areas, the volume of fat, how delicate the work is and your medical history, since safety comes first. Dr. Grossman quotes each case after examining you, and the quote bundles his fee with anesthesia, the operating facility, staff and your follow-up exams. He also cautions that the cheapest option can cost more in the end, because corrective surgery is far more expensive than surgery done right the first time.
