Liposuction in New York City

Tumescent and power-assisted liposuction (PAL) for targeted fat removal from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, back, and other body areas. Performed under local anaesthesia or IV sedation at an accredited surgery centre in Midtown Manhattan by board-certified cosmetic surgeons. Minimally invasive with a faster recovery than traditional methods. Starting from $2,500 per area.

SmartLipo is a laser-assisted liposuction technique that uses targeted laser energy to liquefy fat cells before gentle suctioning, while simultaneously stimulating collagen production for tighter, smoother skin. Performed under local anaesthesia in Midtown Manhattan with minimal bruising and a faster recovery than traditional liposuction. Starting from $2,500 per area.

VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to selectively emulsify fat cells while preserving surrounding nerves, vessels, and connective tissue. A specialised probe liquefies fat before gentle suctioning, enabling precise contouring with less trauma and reduced downtime. Procedures last one to two hours at Alinea Lipo NYC's Midtown Manhattan surgery centre. Starting from $3,500 per area.

Smartlipo laser-assisted liposuction performed by Dr. Ali Khan MD — an IAPAM member who pioneered Smartlipo in the New York area with 4,000 to 5,000 procedures completed. A laser fibre liquefies fat cells before extraction, potentially enabling smaller cannulas, reduced bleeding, and simultaneous skin tightening compared to traditional liposuction. Performed under local tumescent anaesthesia for eligible patients at StudioMD's Manhattan locations.

Dr. Ryan Neinstein performs liposuction using a multi-technique approach combining VASER ultrasound-assisted fat emulsification, Power (MicroAire vibrating cannula) liposuction, and tumescent local anaesthesia. Approximately 70% of cases are performed fully awake under local anaesthesia, reducing recovery and anaesthetic risk. All liposuction cases at the practice routinely include J-Plasma (Renuvion) ionised helium plasma skin tightening, which tightens the overlying dermis as the fat layer is reduced. Small cannulas are used throughout, and compression garments are provided post-procedure.
