Fat Reduction for Men and Women: Liposuction & Non-Surgical Options
Minimally Invasive Liposuction
Dr. Scarpidis excels in minimally invasive liposuction techniques that precisely target and remove fat deposits, leading to dramatically improved body contours with less recovery time than traditional methods.
SmartLipo (Laser Liposuction):
This advanced technique requires a significantly smaller cannula than traditional lipo and uses laser energy to liquefy fat cells for gentler removal. SmartLipo is ideal for targeting stubborn fat in hard-to-treat areas like the chin, abdomen, flanks (love handles), back, thighs, and male chest (gynecomastia treatment). The laser energy also stimulates collagen, promoting firmer, tighter skin in the treated area.
Tumescent Liposuction:
The tumescent lipo procedure involves infusing the treatment area with a solution containing local anesthetic and epinephrine. This solution numbs the area, reduces bleeding and bruising, and makes fat cells easier to remove, facilitating a smoother procedure and shorter recovery. It often serves as the foundation for other lipo methods.
Super Wet Liposuction:
Similar to the tumescent technique, super wet liposuction uses a smaller volume of wetting solution. It still provides anesthetic benefits and aids in fat removal while potentially reducing post-operative swelling.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (UAL):
UAL employs ultrasonic energy to break down and liquefy fat cells. It is particularly effective for denser, more fibrous fat often found in areas like the male chest or the back. Once liquefied, fat is gently suctioned out.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL):
PAL utilizes a specialized cannula that vibrates. This motion helps to gently dislodge and break apart fat cells, allowing for more efficient removal with less physical effort required from the surgeon and reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.
Non-Surgical Fat Reduction
At our clinic in Midtown Manhattan, we offer one of the most advanced non-surgical alternatives to liposuction: SculpSure. The SculpSure system uses a specific wavelength of light to melt fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissues. The fat is then naturally eliminated by the body over a period of six to twelve weeks. SculpSure also stimulates the body’s collagen and elastin production, leaving your skin healthier and more youthful in appearance.
This FDA-approved procedure is a great fat removal treatment for men and women of all body shapes, sizes, and skin types. It can reduce persistent pockets of fat in the upper arms, thighs, knees, abdomen, and flanks.
SculpSure requires no anesthetic and only takes 25 minutes to complete. There is no need to set aside days to recover, as there is no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Customized Fat Removal Treatments for Men and Women
Many of our patients lead healthy lifestyles but struggle with genetically predetermined fat distribution or stubborn areas resistant to workouts. Modern cosmetic technology makes accomplishing your fat reduction and body contouring goals attainable. Dr. Scarpidis combines artistry with technical skill, meticulously tailoring each procedure to deliver balanced, proportionate, and natural-looking outcomes.
Fat Removal for Men
For men, fat reduction is often focused on achieving a more athletic, defined, and masculine contour through abdominal etching, chest sculpting to address gynecomastia, and eliminating love handles. Because discretion is often a priority for male patients, Dr. Scarpidis utilizes minimally invasive methods whenever possible, resulting in less noticeable scarring and reduced downtime compared to traditional cosmetic surgery.
Fat Removal for Women
For our female patients, the goal frequently involves creating smoother lines and more feminine curves. Dr. Scarpidis carefully considers female anatomy and aesthetic proportions, aiming to sculpt elegant contours and a refined silhouette.

The Role of Training in Maintaining Results
While our fat reduction procedures permanently eliminate treated fat cells, maintaining your newly sculpted physique requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Fitness training plays a crucial role in preserving and even enhancing your results long-term. Regular exercise helps manage overall body weight, preventing remaining fat cells from expanding, and builds lean muscle mass, which boosts metabolism and further enhances body definition.
At Scarpidis Aesthetics, we believe in a holistic approach to body contouring. That’s why we partner with renowned personal trainer, Chris Ryan. Chris has extensive experience in strength training, conditioning, and functional movement and specializes in creating personalized fitness programs.
He understands the importance of sustainable fitness habits and works with our patients to integrate effective training into their lives. Chris’s expertise helps you maximize the longevity of your liposuction or SculpSure results and optimize your physical well-being alongside your aesthetic transformation.
