Liposuction is now among the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures; liposuction sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas around the thighs, knees, buttocks, waist, hips, abdomen, chin, neck and upper arms. Dr. Sobel can permanently remove fat cells in those stubborn pockets during liposuction. This procedure involves injecting large volumes of diluted anesthetic solution under the skin before performing the procedure. The solution not only helps loosen the fat, making the liposuction easier, but it also decreases blood loss and helps replace fluids. Dr. Sobel uses smaller cannulas (instruments) that are from 1-3 mm allow for more precision in contouring and less bruising. The tumescent technique, performed by the newer power assisted cannulas, under LOCAL anesthesia, is the safest way to perform the procedure.
Dr. Sobel was one of the first cosmetic dermatologist to perform liposuction under local anesthesia. During the procedure he will stand the patient and remark the areas in order to take out the exact amount of fat. This technique makes the results symmetrical and decreases the need for retouch surgeries.
