Liposuction won’t get rid of cellulite or stretch marks. It’s also not a weight loss alternative. For patients looking for these kinds of treatments, Dr. Sofer recommends other procedures. What liposuction does do extremely well, however, is get rid of stubborn fat deposits you haven’t been able to shift through diet and exercise.
Dr. Sofer also uses liposuction to perform fat transfer procedures, which involves removing fat and placing it where you desire more, like the buttocks.
Dr. Sofer includes a one-hour initial consultation as part of his surgery costs. This appointment allows you to ask all the questions you need to understand liposuction better.

What are the benefits of power-assisted liposuction surgery?
Dr. Sofer uses power-assisted liposuction (PAL) to perform treatments. It has many benefits, including:
Better fat removal
PAL uses a cannula that moves in small, quick vibrations to break up fat cells more effectively. This makes it easier to suck out tough fat.
Faster
The efficient technique means PAL can remove more fat in less time and with greater precision.
More gentle
PAL causes less pain and swelling to the patient, and they recover faster.

FAQ
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is a surgical process that breaks up unwanted fat and then uses suction to remove it. With the fat gone, the skin molds itself to your new form.
The body contouring surgery takes 1-3 hours, depending on how much fat you need removing. If a session will take longer than this, Dr. Sofer breaks it into two for your safety and well-being.
Who benefits from liposuction?
Liposuction works best if you’re within 30% of your ideal body weight, and can maintain it to within 10-15 pounds. You get the smoothest results if your skin has good tone and elasticity.
Depending on where you get liposuction, you can expect a flatter stomach, slimmer limbs, or a more defined shape. The results are permanent as long as your weight remains stable.
