Mini Liposuction
Refine Small Pockets of Stubborn Fat
Mini liposuction is a small-area, in-office procedure that gently removes localized pockets of fat that stay put despite consistent diet and exercise. It is a contouring treatment, not a weight loss treatment, designed for patients close to a stable weight who want a specific area refined.

What is Mini Liposuction?
Small-Area Contouring, Done Conservatively
Mini liposuction treats a defined pocket of fat — under the chin, along the flanks, the bra line, the inner thighs — through a few tiny access points using local anesthesia. Because the treated area is small, the procedure is typically completed in about an hour and recovery is far shorter than traditional liposuction. The goal is contour, not size. Fat is removed gradually and evenly so the treated area blends with the surrounding tissue and the result looks like your own shape, refined. Compression garments and a few quiet days help swelling resolve, and the final contour becomes clear over several weeks. Patients from Englewood, Englewood Cliffs, Tenafly, Teaneck, Fort Lee, and across Bergen County choose our practice for honest candidacy guidance. If your concern is loose skin rather than fat, or if a non-invasive treatment would serve you better, we will tell you that at consultation.
