PROFICIENCY AND MASTERY OF BODY CONTOURING TO REFINE THE SILHOUETTE
Dr. Burnett is best-known for his exceptional work in body contouring for sculpting an hourglass silhouette, which he achieves using a strategy called Lipo360 (circumferential liposuction). His unique and innovative, customized Brazilian butt lift (BBL) with Lipo360 technique allows him to sculpt a “snatched” waist for patients by selectively reducing resistant excess fat from areas around the entire midsection – including the abdomen, underarms, sides, and back – then transferring it to the buttocks for a rounder and shapelier appearance. Whether you desire a more voluptuous, athletic, or hourglass body shape, Dr. Burnett works with you to achieve your desired results.
When performed by an expert, body contouring procedures can be transformative and life-changing. Once you have decided it’s time to make the choice to enhance your natural beauty, it is important to choose a plastic surgeon you can trust. Dr. Burnett has been delivering beautiful results for his patients for many years. His expertise makes him the leading choice for body contouring surgery in Westfield.

BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Burnett was educated locally in the Tri-State Area. He matriculated into Columbia College of Columbia University to earn his bachelor's degree. After college, he attended the New York University School of Medicine to obtain his medical degree.
Dr. Burnett returned to Brooklyn to lay the foundation for his outstanding surgical career. His general surgery residency and medical research were completed at Kings County Hospital, the third largest trauma hospital center in the country at that time. He then moved across the country to Los Angeles, California to further advance his training as a Hand Plastic Surgery Fellow at the University of Southern California and LA County Hospital (the 2nd largest trauma facility in the United States).
During his fellowship, an arduous 2 years of training, he learned techniques to salvage damaged hands and to treat a multitude of hand injuries, reconstructive muscle flap surgery, and cleft lip/palate repair from well-renowned surgeons. Subsequently, Dr. Burnett returned to the East Coast to complete his Plastic Surgery training at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in the city of Newark.
Dr. Carlos Burnett created his private practice in 1996 in the charming suburban town of Westfield, New Jersey. The many iterations of the "Burnett Plastic Surgery" practice allowed him to hone and develop his skills. Early in the practice, Dr Burnett had a more broad-based surgery approach which included the management of facial trauma, pediatric trauma, wound care, reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, and aesthetic plastic surgery. He was first Board Certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 1999 and was recertified in 2009 and 2019 (the recertification process occurs at 10-year intervals for qualified candidates).
DR. BURNETT’S INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO SCULPTING AN HOURGLASS FIGURE
Dr. Burnett made a bold move about 15 years ago when he decided to focus his efforts exclusively on the aesthetic limb of his plastic surgery practice. He first concentrated on performing ethnic rhinoplasty surgery, Smartlipo liposuction, and cosmetic breast surgery. For over a decade, he has honed his skills by advanced training and many surgical procedures to establish himself as a premier Body Contouring Expert. His belief is that " Your body is a canvas with the potential for many aesthetic enhancements based upon your individual anatomy and your cosmetic expectations."
He specializes in Brazilian Butt Lift surgery with the primary focus being on patient safety while delivering the best possible aesthetic outcome for his patients based upon their native anatomy, previous surgery, realistic expectations, and available technology. Dr. Burnett has also incorporated ultrasonic liposuction (VASER®) into his office-based body sculpting procedures in Westfield, NJ in order to deliver superior cosmetic results and to improve the patient's overall appearance.
Some patients will require more extensive interventions to achieve their cosmetic goals. In these circumstances, a combination of liposuction and a tummy tuck (lipoabdominoplasty) is required to deliver ultimate results and a beautiful silhouette. Additionally, fat transfer to the buttocks, hips and/or thighs may be required to create an outstanding result.
Dr Burnett has focused on mimicking the Latin American style of body contouring that makes his patients appear toned, athletic, and proportionally balanced. By identifying the patient's aesthetic concerns, his body contouring techniques are individualized with the goal of creating beautiful, natural-appearing curves, and a flatter contoured abdomen by paying detailed attention to the underlying musculature, skin integrity, and fat distribution of his patients.
Oftentimes, Dr. Carlos Burnett has been able to deliver consistent transformative body contouring results. His belief is that " Plastic surgery is continually evolving and the aesthetic plastic surgeon must understand the spectrum of cosmetic needs that patients experience throughout their lifetime and during specific cultural periods of time. He or she is then poised to make a positive difference in a patient's life. Over time, styles change and so do the expectations and desires of our patients. The Plastic Surgeon needs to be an integral part of this evolutionary aesthetic process."
