How We Create Your Curves: Liposuction Methods

Dr. Shektman uses a range of advanced liposuction techniques to create smooth, natural-looking contours tailored to your goals.

VASER Liposuction

Using ultrasonic energy, VASER liposuction gently breaks down fat while preserving surrounding tissue, allowing for more precise contouring with less swelling and a quicker recovery.

Lipo 360

Lipo 360 targets the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back to create a more balanced, sculpted silhouette from every angle.

SmartLipo Technology

SmartLipo uses laser-assisted technology to melt fat before removal while supporting skin tightening—helping create firmer, more defined results in areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs.

Every Step Of Your Transformation, Explained

Finesse Cosmetic Surgery specializes in minimally invasive liposuction techniques that can reduce tissue trauma and shorten downtime compared with traditional liposuction.

Will Liposuction Give You The Results You Want?

If diet and exercise have improved your fitness but certain areas still look out of proportion, liposuction can remove localized deposits of fat beneath the skin and create smoother transitions between surrounding areas.

Liposuction may be right for you if:

  • Your weight is healthy and has remained stable
  • You want to contour specific areas rather than lose a significant amount of weight
  • You have stubborn fat on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, back, arms, chest, knees, chin, or neck
  • Your skin has enough elasticity to contract around your new contours
  • You are healthy enough for surgery and don’t smoke or can stop before and after treatment
  • You have realistic expectations about what fat removal can change


If loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles are contributing to your concerns, Dr. Shektman can explain whether liposuction alone or a different body-contouring procedure, like a tummy tuck, would provide a better result.

I am a 40 year old mother of 4 and tried everything to get rid of the extra fullness around my midsection and hips. I had SmartLipo and have never felt more confident than I do now. I am incredibly happy with my new body! I am forever grateful to Dr. Kruy, Kim, and his entire staff for changing my life. Keri was my nurse the day of my procedure and helped me feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. Everyone at the office is genuinely kind and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Kruy, and his team at Finesse Cosmetics. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My wife just had her smartlipo surgery with Sr Shektman and her results are incredible-natural, beautiful, and exactly what my wife had hoped for. Not only has her confidence soared, but I see her smiling more, standing taller, and just radiating happiness. If your considering cosmetic surgery, this is the place to go.🔥

I heard about Finesse from two of my friends and wanted to share my own experience—especially how amazing the staff has been! After leaving today’s follow-up appointment, I felt compelled to share how smooth and positive this journey has been from the very beginning. I’m now 3 weeks post-op from my Smart Lipo on my arms, back, and flanks. While I know it’s still early to see the full results, I can already see a huge difference when comparing my personal before-and-after photos. The downtime and recovery have been exactly as explained, and everything discussed during the pre-op and post-op consultations has been accurate. The team was honest about what to expect and what kinds of results I could realistically see. I really appreciated that transparency. Joanne has been incredible—answering every question and addressing all of my concerns both before and after surgery. I’m extremely happy with my experience so far and would highly recommend Finesse. I’d absolutely consider returning for another service in the future! Maddison in the front desk - Thank you for being amazing and always welcoming with a positive attitude and smile!

I recently had a SmartLipo procedure, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results — absolutely amazing! From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The team is truly the best — incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. They made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the process. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and welcoming, which only added to the great experience. I highly recommend this practice to anyone considering SmartLipo — it’s been a life-changing decision!

Every Step Of Your Transformation, Explained

Your Consultation

You’ll meet one-on-one with Dr. Shektman to discuss the areas you want to change. He’ll assess your fat distribution, skin elasticity, muscle tone, and overall proportions before recommending VASER, Smartlipo, Lipo 360, or another approach.

Surgery Day

Dr. Shektman will mark the treatment areas before making small, strategically placed incisions. Fat is loosened and removed through a thin cannula in our Joint Commission-accredited surgical center, and most patients return home the same day with a trusted adult.

Recovery

You’ll wear a compression garment to control swelling and help the treated tissues adapt to their new contours. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Shektman to monitor your healing and guide your return to work, exercise, and normal activities.

Your Recovery Timeline

  • First 24–48 hours: Expect swelling, soreness, bruising, and some fluid drainage from the incisions. Short walks are encouraged to support circulation.
  • Days 3–7: Discomfort usually begins to ease, and many patients can resume desk work and light daily activities.
  • Weeks 1–2: Bruising and swelling continue to improve, and your new contours become easier to see.
  • Weeks 4–6: Most patients can gradually return to strenuous exercise after receiving clearance from Dr. Shektman.
  • Months 3–6: Residual swelling resolves and the treated areas continue settling into their final shape.

The Team Behind Your Care

Your care is led by Dr. Arthur Shektman, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience.

He completed his plastic surgery residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident in Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Shektman works alongside an experienced clinical team to support you through:

  • Evaluating your anatomy, skin elasticity, and treatment goals
  • Choosing the appropriate liposuction technique and treatment areas
  • Preparing you for surgery and answering your questions
  • Monitoring your comfort and safety during treatment
  • Guiding your aftercare and recovery


You’ll receive coordinated care from a team that knows your treatment plan and remains available as your body heals and your results develop.

What You Should Know Before You Book

The cost of liposuction at Finesse depends on the technique used, the number and size of the areas treated, and the complexity of your procedure. After evaluating your goals and anatomy during a consultation, our team will provide a personalized quote that includes the expected costs.

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure—it is designed to refine and sculpt your shape.

Like any surgery, liposuction carries risks such as bleeding, infection, fluid buildup, contour irregularities, changes in sensation, blood clots, and reactions to anesthesia. Choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon and following all pre- and post-operative instructions can help reduce these risks.

Yes, many patients combine liposuction with procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation for more comprehensive results.

Treated fat cells are permanently removed. Results can last for years with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
