Serving patients in: Paramus, Wyckoff, Ridgewood, Allendale, Woodcliff Lake, Montvale, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Westwood, Ho Ho Kus, Park Ridge, Rivervale, Old Tappan, and surrounding areas.
Are you considering a liposuction procedure in Paramus, New Jersey? You’ve tried dieting. You exercise on a regular basis. And yet some of those stubborn fat bulges just won’t go away. If you don’t feel comfortable in a bathing suit or try to hide your body under baggy clothing, you know the profoundly negative impact stubborn fat can have on your self-confidence.
Liposuction can help eliminate unwanted bulges and contour your body into a slimmer, more aesthetically appealing shape. The Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that most liposuction patients rated their results as good to excellent, and 86% would recommend the procedure to their family and friends.
Please note that liposuction is not a method of weight loss. The amount of weight you’ll lose may be a couple of pounds at best, but the effect on your appearance will be amazing! Many patients are so encouraged by their new leaner body that they pursue a healthier lifestyle to preserve their results, making weight loss an added bonus.

Liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove unwanted fat from specific areas of the body.
While liposuction is designed solely for aesthetic purposes, did you know that liposuction can also reduce the chances of later fat-related complications like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke?
These significant health benefits of liposuction are related to a decrease in triglycerides among patients with elevated, at-risk levels before surgery. In fact, scientific studies report that, on average, liposuction patients experienced a 43% reduction in triglyceride levels, which is better than medication for this condition. Our Bergen County liposuction is the most recommended surgery in Paramus.
Your LIPOSUCTION Procedure Will Be Completed at Our Private Facility —
Your liposuction will be performed at a fully accredited outpatient surgical facility chosen for your specific treatment plan. Our centers feature advanced technology and are staffed by experienced surgical and anesthesia professionals dedicated to your safety.
From consultation to recovery, Dr. Breslow and his team will provide a seamless, comfortable experience. Because our facilities adhere to rigorous quality and safety standards, you can approach your procedure with total peace of mind.
What Happens During The Liposuction Procedure?
Regardless of the liposuction technique used for your procedure, Dr. Breslow will only make an extremely small incision at the treatment area to insert the microcannula, through which the stubborn, unwanted fat is removed. This cut is so minimal, only a couple of millimeters in length, that sutures aren’t usually needed to close the incision once your liposuction procedure is complete.
On average, liposuction patients spend 3 to 7 hours in our surgical facility. Most liposuction surgeries only last 1 to 3 hours. The time you spend with us depends on the volume of fat to be removed, the number of areas you’re having treated, and the type of anesthesia used. Minor liposuction procedures may require only local anesthesia, whereas more extensive contouring requires general anesthesia. You may need to stay with us for a little while after the liposuction procedure while the effects of the anesthesia wear off.
Dr. Breslow has extensive experience with a variety of liposuction techniques in Paramus, NJ, including:
This is the liposuction technique most often employed by Dr. Breslow. It uses a MicroAire Power-Assisted Liposuction tool with a basket cannula to achieve more even fat distribution and reduce contour irregularities, which are more common with other liposuction techniques such as SmartLipo.
As you might expect, this technique uses a laser to generate low-energy waves that liquefy unwanted fat, making it easier to remove deposits. The liquefied fat is taken out of your body through a small cannula (a straw-like tube that removes fat from the body in virtually all liposuction procedures) measuring just a few millimeters in diameter.
This liposuction method, also known as ultrasonic liposuction (UAL), uses ultrasound energy to liquefy fat deposits and is especially useful for removing fat from the male breasts (for the treatment of gynecomastia), flanks, and back, where the fat can be more fibrous.
First performed in the 1980s, tumescent liposuction has remained the most popular liposuction technique for years. It involves injecting a saline (sterile saltwater) solution containing lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine (another name for adrenaline) into the liposuction treatment area before fat removal. This “tumescent” solution numbs the area, forces blood out to minimize bleeding, and causes the area to swell and firm up, making it easier to remove unwanted fat.
Eating right and keeping active are essential parts of a healthy lifestyle, but can only take you so far when it comes to trimming those stubborn extra pounds away. Your body is specifically designed to store fat in particular areas, like in your abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks – and no matter what you do, you can’t tone down those pesky, localized fat deposits.
Liposuction is ideal for smoothing the "bulges" that disrupt a sleek profile. Beyond standard fat removal, liposuction is also used to address enlarged male breast tissue (gynecomastia) and can be a vital component of reconstructive surgery. Whether you are looking to remove fat from the abdomen, hips, or upper arms, the goal is to harmonize your proportions.
Liposuction is highly versatile. It is commonly used to remove unwanted excess fat from the thighs, neck, chin, and back. For many patients, it is performed alongside a tummy tuck to achieve a total midsection transformation. Because it removes fat cells permanently from the treated area, the results can be life-changing for your confidence and your wardrobe.
Modern aesthetic surgery has introduced several liposuction methods that offer unique benefits. Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) uses sound waves to liquefy fat cells before removal, which is often helpful in more fibrous areas. Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL) or laser-assisted lipolysis uses a laser to liquefy fat cells; the laser also stimulates collagen production, which helps maintain skin structure and may prevent skin sagging. Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) uses a vibrating cannula to remove fat with more precision and less trauma to surrounding blood vessels.
Dr. Breslow has performed liposuction for decades. He is highly committed to surgical excellence and has an impressive background in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. He studied medicine at New York University School of Medicine and later completed a 6-year residency in the University of Pennsylvania’s Integrated Plastic Surgery Residency Program. After completing his training in Pennsylvania, Dr. Breslow returned to New York to become the NYU Medical Center’s Microvascular Reconstructive Fellow at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Breslow has had extensive experience performing a wide range of liposuction techniques in Paramus. With his years of training and extensive experience with liposuction, he can help you decide on the best procedure for your unique anatomy and goals.
What Will My New Figure Look Like After Liposuction?
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), more than 200,000 liposuction procedures are performed across North America each year. As the third most popular cosmetic procedure, liposuction is currently the most effective method for removing larger areas of stubborn fat. The procedure has also been shown to improve patients' quality of life.
One study found that 86% of patients experienced a boost in self-esteem. Wouldn’t you love to experience the same improvement? This cosmetic surgery will better define the outer thigh, jawline, upper arm, and waist. You will no longer have to worry about having a double chin, too much belly fat, or having love handles around your waist. Many patients end up having six-pack abs afterward. Some people do experience having some extra skin after the liposuction surgery, and the time it takes to bounce back to normal depends on the liposuction candidate’s skin elasticity.
You’ll begin the liposuction process with a thorough private medical consultation with Dr. Breslow. Before we determine which liposuction technique is best for your body and expectations, we need to determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for the procedure.
An ideal candidate for liposuction:
Your health and expectations will be assessed to make sure liposuction is right for you. Part of this involves discussing your medical history and 3D imaging to give you an idea of how your predicted liposuction results will look.
Each member of The Breslow Center’s staff is committed to helping you through every step of your liposuction recovery. We will schedule a series of follow-up appointments to monitor your progress after liposuction. Although most of our patients recover from liposuction relatively quickly (usually within a couple of months), we want to ensure you’ve achieved your aesthetic goals. That’s why you’ll have six follow-ups scheduled over the course of a full year, which is typically not covered by insurance.
Your first follow-up will be with a nurse or physician assistant, and will be only a day or two after your liposuction surgery. After this initial appointment, you’ll have another follow-up within:
Of course, no two patients, no two surgeries, and no two recoveries are exactly alike, so if you feel like you need to schedule more follow-ups during this time, we are more than happy to work with you. We want your recovery to be as safe, fast, and worry-free as possible. You may also experience some scarring afterward, which fades over time.
Your Liposuction Recovery: Fast Facts
Five Things You Must Do During Your Liposuction Recovery
While some change is visible immediately, your final results emerge as swelling subsides over three to six months. The skin will continue to tighten, especially if a laser was used to prevent skin sag and help maintain skin structure.
Because the procedure permanently removes fat cells, they will not regrow. However, if you gain weight in the future, the remaining fat cells in your body can still expand. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a stable weight will ensure your newly sculpted silhouette lasts for a lifetime. If you have excess skin after the procedure, Dr. Breslow can discuss further options for skin tightening.

No. Liposuction is an aesthetic procedure used to remove unwanted fat from specific areas; it is not intended for overall weight reduction.
Yes. Through a process called fat grafting, the removed fat can be purified and reinjected into the face, breasts, or buttocks to add volume where it is desired.
Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a tumescent fluid into the fat before removal, which makes the fat easier to remove and reduces bleeding compared to older traditional liposuction methods.
This depends on your skin elasticity. If there is significant concern about skin sag, Dr. Breslow may recommend a combination treatment such as a tummy tuck or suggest laser-assisted liposuction (LAL) to help stimulate collagen.
While large-volume liposuction is possible, safety is our priority. Dr. Breslow will determine the appropriate scope of your surgery based on your overall health and body goals.
