Liposuction in NJ at Nusbaum Medical Centers removes stubborn fat and sculpts your contours in a single procedure — for definition that diet and exercise can't reach.
At Nusbaum Medical Centers in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, liposuction is performed by Dr. Michael Nusbaum, a board-certified surgeon, FACS FASMBS, with more than 25 years and 25,000+ patients of experience. That surgical depth means precise, balanced, natural-looking results.
How Liposuction Works
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits through tiny incisions using a thin tube called a cannula. Unlike non-surgical options, it physically removes fat cells in one procedure, allowing the surgeon to sculpt and define an area with precision. It's best for shaping stubborn pockets on people near their goal weight — not a substitute for weight loss. Modern techniques are minimally invasive, so recovery is faster than many patients expect.
Areas Liposuction Can Sculpt
- Abdomen, waist and flanks ("love handles")
- Inner and outer thighs and the knees
- Upper arms and back rolls
- Chin and neck for a defined jawline
- Male chest (gynecomastia contouring)
Liposuction vs. CoolSculpting
Both remove fat, but they suit different goals. CoolSculpting is non-surgical, freezes a portion of fat in an area and requires no downtime — ideal for smaller, pinchable pockets. Liposuction removes more fat in one session and gives the surgeon precise sculpting control, with a short recovery. If your goal is significant weight reduction first, our medical weight loss program or surgical weight loss may come first. Because Dr. Nusbaum offers every option, your recommendation is honest and tailored.
What to Expect & Recovery
Liposuction is performed as an outpatient procedure. You'll wear a compression garment and can expect some swelling and bruising that settles over a few weeks. Many New Jersey patients return to desk work within a few days to a week, with results refining as swelling resolves over the following months. Dr. Nusbaum's team guides you through every step of healing.
