Contact UsAbout Liposuction
Liposuction is one of the most popular fat removal treatments offered, and also the safest when done by a Board certified surgeon. It is a surgical procedure that can be done under local anesthesia or sedation. Dr. Suzman uses two systems-- tumescent lipo and also Body Jet, a water-assisted suction technique, to target stubborn fat cells and extract them in order to produce a more contoured, slim silhouette in the desired areas. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Suzman commonly performs this procedure to eliminate fat in the belly, back, legs, arms, and butt areas. It should be noted that this procedure is not performed as a way to address excessive weight loss, but rather is used to target areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Dr. Suzman can sit down with each patient at Summit Health's Westchester County and Greenwich and NYC offices in a one-on-one consultation in order to customize a treatment plan to suit the patient's needs and goals.
Fat that is removed can also be used for fat grafting to facial wrinkles as an alternative to fillers. Liposuction is also done along with other common plastic surgery procedures, including tummy tuck ( abdominoplasty) breast reduction and breast lift, and facelift procedure. Dr. Suzman performs surgery at the fully certified Rye ASC as well as Greenwich Hospital and the GH Holly Hill Ambulatory Surgery Center. Liposuction in smaller areas can be done under local anesthesia with oral sedation in the office procedure suite.
Another add-on to help with skin tightening is Renuvion, a procedure to help skin contraction after liposuction. This technology uses radiofrequency energy and a helium gas heated to a uniform plasma to gently and precisely heat the skin to stimulate collagen formation.
Best Candidates
Liposuction is most commonly performed on the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks and even the neck. The best candidates for liposuction are those who are in good health and experience:
- Excess fat deposits that cannot be altered with diet and exercise.
- Disproportionate areas of the body.
- Good skin elasticity.

Excellent and wonderful provider. Very attentive to patient.
Chin and Jawline Liposuction - I had my procedure on Friday, April 22. I was originally scheduled to have chin liposuction and sculpting of the jawline. The day of surgery Dr. Suzman started taking pictures and decided that he would also add some type of tightening procedure as well to enhance my results(something to do with heat, I forget what it’s called). Once we went to the backroom and I laid on the operating table, Dr. Suzman decided that along with some Lipo that he would cut some of the fat out from my chin and jaw line as well. He explained that my jawline was already defined and I didn’t need much work however to get optimal results he thought this was the best route to take and didn’t charge additional money to do the extra work he believed would give my the best results. I was placed under local anesthesia and giving what they call laughing gas I believe. I had medication to come my nerves too. During the procedure, I was calm, comfortable and experienced very little discomfort—just a little tug here and there. I was awake for the entire procedure laughing and talking. My experience with the West med group has been absolutely exceptional ! I’ve had other non-surgical procedures with them. They’re Possibly on the pricier side but well worth the investment, you get one body, make the best of it. The bedside manner of the entire team is impeccable, Helen is awesome!
Dr Suzman is a great artist.I had a breast lift and removal of DD implants in February of 2022.I had some lipo and fat grafting to help with any disfigurement as I’d had the implants for 11 years. I had BII and my symptoms resolved almost immediately after surgery.The results are actually pretty amazing. I didn’t expect much as it was medically necessary for me but he did an amazing job.I also had a lip scar revision surgery and the results are excellent.I had the surgery during a switch over to Summint Health (for billing I think) and had some issues that Dr Suzman and Miss Reyes and the entire staff pulled together to resolve for me.I’m really impressed and I can’t recommend them enough.The whole staff is so kind and caring. I wish all doctor visits were this kind of experience.

Body Jet Technology
Water-assisted liposuction by Body Jet is an innovative technique that differs from traditional liposuction in that instead of destroying the fat cells it uses water vibrations to dislodge the fat cells for a less invasive approach. Since water-assisted liposuction is less invasive, a general anesthetic is not necessary, and a local anesthetic combined with a saline-based tumescent fluid will be injected prior to the Body Jet device being administered. The entire process is a more gentle fat reduction treatment than traditional liposuction, allowing the water to aid in the fat removal process for less recovery time and more precise results.
What to Expect
Liposuction is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under local or general anesthesia. During the procedure, one or more small incisions will be made near the treatment site. A thin tube (cannula) is then inserted through the incision to loosen the excess fat, then suctioned out. The length of this procedure varies among patients, but it typically takes between 1-3 hours to complete. Following their procedure, patients should wear a compression garments for the first few weeks to reduce swelling and ensure optimal healing. Patients can expect minimal scarring at the incision site, but with proper scar management, it will be difficult to notice. In order for the results of liposuction to last, the patient should maintain a stable weight through a healthy diet and exercise.
