Liposuction — Traditional & Micro-Liposuction

Dr. Tornambe performs liposuction to remove stubborn fat deposits from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, arms, back, chin, neck, knees, and ankles. Technique options include traditional tumescent liposuction, micro-liposuction for delicate facial areas, and Liposuction 360 treating both the front and back of the torso in a single session. The procedure is suitable for patients near their ideal weight with localised fat that has not responded to lifestyle changes. Results are permanent once the treated fat cells are removed.

Madison Plastic Surgery offers liposuction performed by Dr. Robert Tornambe as both a standalone procedure and as a complement to other body contouring surgeries such as tummy tuck or Brazilian butt lift. Liposuction works by inserting a thin cannula through small incisions to break up and suction out localised fat deposits — it is a contouring procedure for patients at or near their target weight, not a weight-loss treatment. The tumescent technique, in which the target area is infiltrated with a saline and epinephrine solution before fat removal, reduces blood loss and aids in smoother fat extraction. Micro-liposuction uses extra-fine cannulae to address the face, chin, and neck where precision is paramount and conventional instruments would leave irregularities. Liposuction 360 treats the full circumference of the torso — anterior abdomen, flanks, and posterior back — to achieve a harmonious waist-to-hip silhouette rather than improving one area in isolation. Target areas at the practice include the abdomen and love handles, inner and outer thighs, hips, upper arms, bra-line back fat, submental chin and neck, knees, and ankles. The procedure is performed in the AAAASF-accredited on-site surgical suite at 815 Park Avenue, Manhattan, under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia depending on the area and volume of fat being removed. Compression garments are worn post-operatively to control swelling and support the new contour during healing. Final results, including full resolution of swelling, are typically visible at three to six months. Removed fat cells do not regenerate, making results lasting with maintained body weight. The practice serves liposuction patients from across New York City including Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the greater NYC metro area.
