NYC Liposuction Surgeon Dr. Beraka

There are several different types of liposuction machines, and some are better than others. But it is the surgeon's skill that produces good results, not the specific machine. In particular, Dr. Beraka does not think that laser liposuction is beneficial. Dr. Beraka uses tumescent liposuction, which fills the fat with anesthetic solution at the beginning of the procedure. Dr. Beraka also uses very small cannulas to remove the excess fat, because they produce a smooth surface.

Together with liposuction, Dr. Beraka performs superficial microtunneling, which helps to tighten the skin, and improve cellulite. The results of liposuction are very long lasting, because the removed fat cells don't grow back. Twenty percent of Dr. Beraka's liposuction patients are men.

Liposuction can be used together with procedures such as tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty") and/ or breast reduction ("reduction mammaplasty") in both men and women, to achieve optimal results.

Dr. Beraka is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). He also providestraining in cosmetic surgery to fellows and residents. Dr. Beraka received his training at Columbia University, Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Weill Cornell Medical Center.
