In Dr. Wiener’s practice, it is not liposuction, it is “Liposelection”.

First of all, you should go to a Board Certified plastic surgeon with an expertise in cosmetic surgery. (Please understand that a dermatologist is not a plastic surgeon and does not have anywhere near the training in cosmetic surgery). I'd suggest you contact Dr. Placik for an evaluation.

You may wish to schedule a consultation with either or both Dr. Ed Lack and Dr. George Kouris. Often surgeons have different approaches, techniques and offer different types of anesthesia (local and possibly sedation or more). Good luck.

Liposuction choices
Find a board certified plastic surgeon that you trust, have seen some of his/her results (photos or patients), and, if you wish, have been able to speak with a former patient.

How to pick a plastic surgeon for liposuction.
Answer by George J. Beraka, MDManhattan Plastic Surgeon1) Is the surgeon a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery? Members usually do a lot of cosmetic surgery.
2) Did you sense a commitment to excellence in the office. Did the surgeon spend a lot of time with you? Someone who rushes through the consultation may rush through the surgery.
3) Were you treated as an individual? Did the surgeon present you with a surgical plan...
