Even with a healthy lifestyle, there are times when certain areas of the body simply don’t respond the way you’d like. Stubborn pockets of fat can linger despite consistent workouts and mindful eating—often in places like the abdomen, hips, thighs, or under the chin.
At Pelosi Medical Center, Dr. Marco Pelosi III—an expert cosmetic surgeon with over 25 years of experience—helps patients throughout Hudson County achieve a more sculpted, balanced figure using advanced liposuction techniques. His approach is centered on enhancing your natural shape while delivering smooth, refined results.
What Is Liposuction?
Liposuction is a body contouring procedure designed to remove localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Rather than focusing on weight loss, liposuction is used to shape and refine specific areas of the body.
This treatment can help create a more contoured silhouette, improve proportions, and enhance the natural curves of your body—so you feel more confident in both fitted clothing and everyday wear.
How Liposuction Works
Dr. Pelosi utilizes advanced, high-definition liposuction techniques to precisely remove fat while maintaining a smooth, natural contour. When appropriate, treatment may be combined with Renuvion (J-Plasma) skin tightening technology to help improve skin firmness and elasticity.
This dual approach allows for both fat reduction and subtle skin tightening, creating more refined results. The procedure involves small, discreet incisions, which means minimal scarring and a relatively quick recovery compared to traditional methods.
Most patients return to light activities within a few days and gradually resume their normal routines over the following weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
You may be a good candidate if you have localized areas of fat that remain despite healthy eating and regular exercise. Liposuction is intended for body contouring, not weight loss.
Dr. Pelosi will evaluate your anatomy, health, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine whether the procedure is appropriate for you.
You may notice changes in your body contour after treatment, but swelling can temporarily obscure your results. Your shape will become more apparent as swelling decreases and the treated areas heal. The exact timeline varies based on the areas treated and the extent of your procedure.
Liposuction removes fat cells from the treated areas, but it does not prevent future weight gain. Remaining fat cells can still enlarge if you gain weight. Maintaining a relatively stable weight with healthy lifestyle habits can help preserve your results.
It depends on your skin elasticity and the amount of fat removed. Liposuction removes unwanted fat but does not remove significant excess skin. When appropriate, Dr. Pelosi may combine liposuction with Renuvion (J-Plasma) to help improve skin firmness and elasticity.
Liposuction is generally used to remove localized fat and improve body contours. A tummy tuck may be more appropriate when excess abdominal skin or weakened or separated abdominal muscles are also concerns. We will evaluate your abdomen and recommend the approach that best matches your anatomy and goals.
Yes, liposuction may be combined with other cosmetic procedures when appropriate. Whether additional procedures can be performed together depends on your health, anatomy, and treatment goals.
Like any surgical procedure, liposuction has potential risks and complications. These can include bleeding, infection, fluid accumulation, changes in sensation, contour irregularities, and anesthesia-related complications.
Dr. Pelosi can review the risks that apply to your specific treatment plan during your consultation.
