How Does Dr. Erella Perform Liposuction?
Liposuction is almost always performed safely under local anesthesia. Dr. Erella is widely known for his expertise in “awake” procedures, which removes the need for going under general anesthesia. Dr. Erella will discuss which anesthesia option is best suited for you when you meet with him in a consultation.
To begin the procedure, Dr. Erella will give you an oral medication to help you relax after marking the areas for surgery. During the operation, Dr. Erella makes tiny incisions that allow him to insert a thin tube called a cannula into the targeted areas. He will then infiltrate a sterile, specially prepared liquid anesthetic called Tumescent to the treatment area. Afterward, he inserts a power assisted small Liposuction cannula to loosen targeted fat to suction out.
The whole procedure takes anywhere from under an hour to three hours, depending on the number and size of the areas. After completion, Dr. Erella and his surgical team will fit a compression garment to the treatment area to prevent swelling and support your body’s new contours.

Laser Liposuction
Liposuction assisted with laser energy liquefies unwanted fat before Dr. Erella removes it from the treatment site. Laser liposuction offers another option to complement tummy tucks and neck and arm lifts.
While conventional liposuction is the most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States for effectively reshaping multiple areas by removing stubborn fat pads, it does not tighten loose skin. In some patients, laser-assisted liposuction on the abdomen could reduce 30 to 50% of what tummy tuck removes. In addition, laser Liposuction can effectively liquefy fat for removal and offers non-surgical skin tightening.
360 Liposuction
Liposuction 360 encompasses the entire midsection—front and back. Dr. Erella typically performs 360 liposuctions to achieve maximum effect. If he limits liposuction to the front only, you may not achieve your desired waistline. So, viewing and treating the body from both sides helps you to achieve optimal body sculpting.
360-degree liposuction, or circumferential liposuction, employs the same techniques for body sculpting as traditional liposuction but addresses the entire midsection (front, back, and side) in one surgical session.

What Can I Expect in my Liposuction Recovery?
Patients usually find that their liposuction recovery will be very smooth. Dr. Erella’s precision and techniques allow for a quick recovery, with most patients returning to work in just three to four days.
Soreness is common for two to three days, but Dr. Erella will provide medications and garments to help relieve any discomfort. Swelling will gradually improve over a period of a few weeks. Patients will usually be able to start exercising in two weeks. Each patient heals differently, but the results are well worth it in the end. You should see your results once the swelling is down which can take a few weeks after surgery.
