Body Contouring Services We Offer
Lipo-etching
Lipo-etching uses careful, targeted fat removal to highlight the grooves between abdominal muscles and along the flanks. The result is a more chiseled torso that complements your existing build.
Lipo
Lipo removes localized pockets of fat from areas such as the thighs, arms, hips, and upper back. It is designed to refine contours rather than serve as a weight loss method.
Awake Chin Lipo
Awake Chin Lipo targets fullness beneath the jaw while you remain comfortable under local numbing. Many patients choose it to create a cleaner profile and a more defined neckline.
Lipo BBL
Lipo BBL pairs fat removal from one area with transfer of that fat to the buttocks for added volume and shape. This approach lets one treatment both slim and enhance.
Male Breast Reduction
Male breast reduction addresses excess chest fullness, a concern often called gynecomastia. It creates a flatter, firmer chest that pairs naturally with an etched abdomen.
Mini Tummy Tuck
A mini tummy tuck focuses on loose skin and laxity below the navel. It can be a helpful option when the lower abs need more than fat removal to look smooth.
Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
Non-surgical skin tightening helps improve firmness in areas where mild laxity remains. It offers a way to support smoother skin without additional incisions.

Why Choose Our Compassionate Care?
Decades of Surgical Experience
Years of body contouring work have given Dr. Mordkovich a detailed understanding of how fat, skin, and muscle relate across the torso. That insight guides where each etching line is placed for a natural look.
Comfort With Local Numbing
Our awake approach relies on a tumescent solution that numbs the treatment area so you stay alert and comfortable. Avoiding general anesthesia is a key reason many patients prefer this approach.
Plans Tailored to Your Body
No two torsos share the same muscle pattern, so your treatment map is designed around your build. We consider your frame, skin quality, and desired level of definition before any work begins.
Convenient Outpatient Care
Lipo-etching is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, so you can rest and recover at home the same day without an overnight stay.

FAQ About Lipo-Etching in Fort Lee, NJ
How is Lipo-Etching different from standard lipo?
Standard lipo focuses on reducing overall fat volume in an area. Lipo-etching goes further by sculpting along muscle borders to create visible definition, which works well for people already near their goal weight.
Am I awake during Lipo-Etching?
Yes, you remain conscious throughout the procedure. Most patients feel pressure or movement rather than pain, and the tiny incisions are placed in discreet spots and usually closed with adhesive bandages.
How much does Lipo-Etching cost?
Pricing often falls in the range of $4,000 to $15,000, depending on the number of areas, the amount of fat removed, and your treatment plan. A personalized quote is provided after your consultation.
What does recovery after Lipo-Etching involve?
Most patients wear compression garments for several weeks to support their new contours. Desk work and light activity typically resume within a few days, while strenuous exercise is paused for a few weeks.
