LIPO
Liposuction is among the most popular body contouring methods available. Lipo techniques can precisely remove unwanted fat pockets from different areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, legs, arms, face, and neck, among others. Thanks to innovative plastic surgery advancements over the years, there are now a variety of different liposuction methods to best fit the needs of each patient. Today, liposuction procedures can remove stubborn fat and sculpt the body with less surgery time and quicker recovery than previous techniques.
Asaadi Plastic Surgery provides multiple liposuction methods, including tumescent lipo, super-wet liposuction, and VASER Liposuction®, to enhance body contours and achieve natural-looking results. Lipo is often combined with other body contouring techniques to supplement the results of a tummy tuck, body lift, arm lift, and more.

WHAT AREAS CAN LIPOSUCTION TREAT?
Liposuction can be performed to treat a wide range of areas in which stubborn fat may accumulate. Some of the most common areas include the abdomen, flanks (love handles), hips, thighs, upper arms, and back. Liposuction can also be performed in smaller, more delicate areas such as the face and neck to reduce the appearance of a double chin, as well as along the jawline to further sculpt the facial profile. Liposuction is ideal for any area with localized, exercise-resistant fat for targeted removal. This versatility makes it a popular choice for comprehensive body contouring.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LIPOSUCTION?
If you struggle with diminished self-confidence caused by diet and exercise-resistant fat, liposuction in New Jersey may be right for you. Lipo can treat a wide range of areas across the body, from the face all the way down to the ankles. Although liposuction can efficiently and effectively remove excess fat when compared to traditional methods, it’s important to note that it is not a weight loss procedure. Patients should be at or within a few pounds of their goal weight before seeking liposuction. Dr. Asaadi recommends that patients try routine diet and exercise before opting for liposuction to help them reach their goals. Ideal candidates should be in good general health and nonsmokers. Patients should maintain realistic expectations for their liposuction results and ensure they are seeking plastic surgery for the right reasons. Lipo is commonly combined with tummy tuck, arm lift, leg lift, and more to provide the most comprehensive body contouring results. During your consultation for liposuction in New Jersey, Dr. Asaadi will discuss your goals and concerns, evaluate the treatment area(s), and review your medical history to further determine your candidacy.
WHAT ARE MY LIPOSUCTION OPTIONS?
TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION: During tumescent liposuction, a large volume of anesthetic fluid is injected into the treatment area in preparation for your procedure. This solution acts as a local anesthetic and can also help reduce bruising and swelling after your liposuction surgery. Once the treatment area is prepared, Dr. Asaadi will make a tiny incision and insert a small cannula underneath the skin in order to break up unwanted fat cells and suction them from the body. Additional incisions may be made, depending on the areas being treated.
SUPER-WET LIPOSUCTION: Super-wet liposuction, like the tumescent lipo technique, also utilizes a specialized anesthetic solution to prepare the treatment site. However, less fluid is used during super-wet lipo. As a result, patients can expect a shorter overall procedure time. General anesthesia may be utilized as well, depending on the specifics of your treatment. Dr. Asaadi will insert a tiny cannula through small incisions around the target area and gently extract excess fat cells to enhance contours.
VASER® LIPOSUCTION: VASER® Liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break up fat cells for extraction. Either local or general anesthesia is administered in preparation for your VASER® treatment; this will depend on the specifics of your procedure. Tiny incisions are made around the target area and the VASER® probe is introduced below the skin. Ultrasound energy from the probe is delivered to surrounding fat cells, liquefying them and making unwanted fat cells easier to suction. These fat cells are then extracted from the treatment site. Heat from the VASER® Lipo laser encourages collagen production under the skin to achieve skin tightening benefits, resulting in firmer-looking contours.
LIPO 360: Lipo 360 is a comprehensive liposuction procedure that targets the entire midsection to create a balanced, contoured silhouette. Unlike traditional liposuction, which may focus on one area, Lipo 360 addresses the abdomen, flanks, and lower back in a single session for more dramatic, uniform results. This all-around approach helps enhance natural curves, define the waistline, and improve body proportions, making it a popular option for patients seeking a full midsection transformation.
MASTERTUCK℠: MAsterTuck℠ is a truncal liposuction procedure, patented and solely performed by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi, that is designed to remove stubborn fat while also tightening the skin for a more sculpted, toned appearance. Unlike traditional liposuction, MAsterTuck℠ combines fat removal with tissue tightening for smoother, firmer results. Ideal for the midsection, flanks, and lower back, this procedure offers a more defined silhouette and often eliminates the need for skin excision, making it a highly effective body contouring option.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE LIPOSUCTION SURGERY IN NEW JERSEY?
Dr. Asaadi carefully evaluates each patient’s overall health and medical records to determine if they are an ideal candidate for liposuction. If you are looking to sculpt the body and remove unwanted fat pockets, liposuction may be right for you. However, liposuction should not be seen as a substitute for weight loss, proper dieting, or consistent exercise. Instead, lipo should be used to enhance body contours. Patients who undergo liposuction at Asaadi Plastic Surgery receive specialized pre-care instructions. You may need to avoid certain types of supplements, medications, foods, or beverages before undergoing your lipo procedure. You should have a relative or friend escort you to and from your liposuction surgery. We recommend that you allow for a few days to rest immediately following treatment. Dr. Asaadi and our staff will discuss more pre-care guidelines with you during your consultation.
WHAT DOES THE RECOVERY PERIOD LOOK LIKE FOLLOWING LIPOSUCTION?
You may experience some mild discomfort, bruising, swelling, or numbness following liposuction. Pain medication can be prescribed to help reduce these side effects. Depending on your treatment, a small drainage tube may be placed to aid in healing. This tube, along with any stitches, can be removed within the first few weeks.
Patients should avoid any rigorous activity, including exercising or performing housework, for the following weeks. You may be ready to return to work after 1 to 2 weeks of healing, though the specific aspects of your recovery will ultimately depend on your procedure. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we are on hand to answer any aftercare questions you may have.
Liposuction is designed to achieve substantial body sculpting results. Patients can slim down and contour the midsection, legs, thighs, arms, and more. Any lipo incisions are carefully placed to ensure that scarring remains virtually invisible.
ARE LIPOSUCTION RESULTS PERMANENT? WILL THE FAT COME BACK?
While liposuction removes fat cells from a localized area on the body permanently, it does not prevent the remaining fat cells from growing or multiplying in the future. To maintain the results of liposuction, patients should aim to stay at or within a few pounds of their post-liposuction weight. Gaining weight can negatively impact the results. In order to maintain optimal liposuction results, patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle by reducing their caloric intake and focusing on protein, staying properly hydrated, and eating fewer, smaller meals throughout the day. Patients should also exercise regularly and ensure they follow their post-operative instructions with care to maximize their results.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST LIPOSUCTION SURGEON IN NJ?
When seeking liposuction in New Jersey, Dr. Asaadi stresses the importance of carefully reviewing and researching the plastic surgeon, with the first question being; Are they board-certified? Plastic surgery should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon to ensure he or she has the necessary training and to ensure patient safety.
With various liposuction options available today, your liposuction surgeon should be able to help guide you towards the best possible treatment based on your goals, anatomy, and concerns. Not everyone is a candidate for liposuction and may better benefit from alternative procedures. For example, liposuction can remove excess fat, but will not remove excess skin, which is a common concern we see from patients who think they need liposuction.
There are many marketing terms that promote liposuction, yet many of the techniques utilized today are rooted in methods that have been utilized by the best plastic surgeons for decades. Throughout his years of experience, Dr. Asaadi has helped to refine these methods, pioneering his own unique techniques that deliver the best and most natural-looking results. Patients from near and far seek Asaadi Plastic Surgery when choosing the best liposuction surgeon in NJ.
