Body sculpting with abdominoplasty and liposuction in New York
With liposuction and abdominoplasty at our New York practice, Dr. Bourhill has the techniques and aesthetic skill to sculpt your body into the shape you desire. Plastic Surgery is derived from the Greek "plastikos" which means, "to mould." While all cosmetic surgery procedures involve this concept - perhaps none exhibit it more literally than body contouring techniques such as liposuction and abdominoplasty. In the case of liposuction, surgical removal of excess fat and skin is not meant to replace a healthy diet and sensible exercise regimen for weight loss. Liposuction and abdominoplasty should be used to address localized areas of fat or tissue redundancy that are resistant to these measures. Patients seeking abdominoplasty or liposuction should consult with our practice, located in Huntington, New York.
Liposuction in New York - Huntington, Long Island
Liposuction at our New York office has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures for our patients in Huntington, Long Island, and beyond. The appeal of the liposuction procedure is that it slims target areas that do not readily respond to traditional weight loss approaches.
Ask yourself these questions to see if liposuction in Huntington - Long Island, New York is the right choice for you:
- Have you tried diet and exercise?
- Is your weight within the normal range for your height?
- Do you plan to remain at your current weight?
- Are you in generally good health?
- Is your excess fat in specific areas such as 'saddlebags'?
- Do you have reasonably good skin tone?
Recovery from liposuction typically takes 1-2 weeks. After this time you will be able to return to work and normal activity. The final effect of the liposuction procedure, however, will not be apparent until the body has had time to fully recover. This could take up to a few months. If you would like to schedule a liposuction consultation in Huntington - Long Island, New York or would just appreciate further information about the liposuction procedure, liposuction effects, or liposuction recovery, contact Dr. Bourhill, a Long Island, New York plastic surgeon today. Dr. Bourhill welcomes patients seeking liposuction from New York as well as from all over the U.S. to visit his plastic surgery practice.

Tummy Tuck - Abdominoplasty in New York
Abdominoplasty is an overall term for surgical removal of excess skin and fat of the abdomen, and repositioning of stretched muscles - the 'tummy tuck'. Abdominoplasty can be combined with liposuction in New York at our cosmetic surgery office for improved results. Today's fashion emphasizes the navel and abdominoplasty can remove unwanted bumps on the tummy for many years.
This year more than 60,000 Americans are expected to undergo abdominoplasty surgery. The abdominoplasty procedure is a favorite in New York and elsewhere because of the interest patients have in maintaining a fit and slim look.
Consider abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) if you have:
- excess or sagging abdominal skin
- an abdomen that protrudes and is out of proportion with the rest of your body
- abdominal muscles that have been separated and weakened (after pregnancy for example)
- excess fatty tissue in the abdominal area
At the Huntington, New York plastic surgery office of Dr. Bourhill, we have found that the recovery time for an abdominoplasty is a bit longer than for many other types of cosmetic surgery. Keep this in mind when scheduling your surgery for abdominoplasty in New York if you want to be fully recovered by a particular time.
Most people find that their new flat, firm abdomen boosts their confidence and makes them feel comfortable in clothes that they thought they could no longer wear. And, unless you gain a significant amount of weight or get pregnant, the results of your abdominoplasty procedure should continue for a long time.
