Liposuction

Dr. Robert Bernard is well trained and highly experienced in liposuction procedures. Liposuction is a proven safe and effective treatment to reduce localized fat deposits and contour the body. Many people have bothersome lumps or bulges in areas such as the hips, thighs, buttocks, abdomen, back and other parts of the body. In fact, liposuction can be performed almost head to toe. It is frequently used to eliminate a double-chin, reduce excess fat in the upper arms, and contour the knees.

If you are interested in a liposuction consultation, contact cosmetic surgeon Dr. Robert W. Bernard today.

You may have tried to get rid of fatty bulges by dieting and exercising. Certainly, these methods are often effective, but some people may have inherited characteristics that make it virtually impossible to get rid of this excess fat. At our Westchester County surgical facility, liposuction can permanently remove these fat cells from your body.

After liposuction, if you maintain your weight, the fat will not return. Even if you gain weight after liposuction, it is likely to be more evenly distributed throughout your body rather than accumulating disproportionately in the specific areas that have been treated with liposuction.

Dr. Robert Bernard has been performing liposuction for more than 25 years. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, he has the in-depth surgical training and experience that can be so important to protecting your safety and achieving an optimal result. During you consultation at one of his Westchester County offices, Dr. Bernard will evaluate you for liposuction while considering factors such as your general health, the stability of your weight, the location and extent of excess fat and the quality of your skin. Best results are obtained when your skin is still reasonably elastic, so that it will conform to your new slimmer contour. If your skin has stretched out and lost its elasticity, Dr. Bernard can still suggest ways to help you achieve the body contour you desire.

Dr. Bernard and the cosmetic surgery professionals at his Westchester County facility use current liposuction techniques that are designed to minimize blood loss and postoperative discomfort. Using a variety of specially designed instruments, Dr. Bernard can liposuction large areas such as the thighs or delicate areas such as the knees. One of the major benefits to patients -- and the reason liposuction is such a popular operation -- is that it requires only very small incisions that are inconspicuous when healed.

At our Westchester facility, liposuction often can be done in conjunction with other cosmetic surgical procedures.
At his Westchester County cosmetic surgery facility, Dr. Bernard performs liposuction in his fully accredited outpatient surgical facility. His facility is located in White Plains, New York, just 30 minutes from Manhattan. Lower cost, convenience, exceptional comfort and privacy are just some of the reasons why patients from Westchester County and New York City select the Ambulatory Plastic Surgery Facility for their cosmetic surgery. The primary reason, of course, is Dr. Bernard's national reputation as a leader in cosmetic plastic surgery procedures like liposuction. Many patients have seen Dr. Bernard on television, as Past President and spokesperson for the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Dr. Bernard appeared on "The Montel Williams Show" discussing liposuction. He has appeared on other programs, such as "Good Morning America," discussing cosmetic surgery and patient safety.

Liposuction has been performed in the United States since the early 1980s. Millions of liposuction procedures have been performed, and it is the number one cosmetic surgical procedure. In qualified hands, liposuction has been shown to be a very safe operation. However, every patient needs to carefully consider the training, board certification and experience of the surgeon who will perform liposuction. Dr. Bernard is double board-certified -- in general surgery and plastic surgery. You can trust his experience and be assured of his excellent reputation both in the community and nationally.

Dr. Bernard is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has more than 25 years of experience performing cosmetic surgery. He is a Past President of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the nation's most prestigious organization for board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in cosmetic surgery.
