Liposuction helps reduce fat in local areas of the body and is the most common type of cosmetic procedure. Ultrasonic liposuction uses advanced technology to help sculpt your body. An experienced plastic surgeon, like Dr. Sanjay Lalla, can use it to remove fat deposits that have resisted diet and exercise.

Ultrasonic liposuction is a specialized fat removal procedure done in West Orange that uses ultrasound energy to break down and liquefy fat cells. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Lalla, then suctions them out using liposuction. It is an advanced form of the liposuction procedure that improves the removal of fibrous or dense areas of fat around the back, abdomen, sides, and male chest.
The process also helps increase skin contraction, which improves body contouring and sculpting. Because the procedure is less aggressive than traditional liposuction, it preserves many of the surrounding nerve cells while still precisely removing fat deposits.
Good candidates for ultrasonic liposuction are those who meet several criteria and want to target stubborn fat deposits. It is not a weight loss solution, so it is best when you are within 10-20 percent of your goal weight and still need body contouring rather than overall fat reduction.
The procedure works best for people with strong to moderate skin elasticity, as this helps the skin retract after the fat is removed and improves the overall results. You should be in good overall health without any serious underlying medical conditions and have realistic expectations since it is not for weight loss but does improve body shape.
Ultrasonic liposuction does not replace a healthy lifestyle for people in West Orange. It should not be used if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have poor skin elasticity, or have a high BMI. You should not have a history of poor wound healing, including certain medical conditions that increase your risk.
For people in West Orange, ultrasonic liposuction is a two-step fat removal process that uses ultrasound energy to break down the fat before suctioning. The procedure may last up to three hours and is performed under either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the treatment area and your preference.
Our expert surgeon will insert a sterile solution containing saline, epinephrine, and lidocaine. This helps loosen the fat cells and reduces trauma. Next, he will make a small incision and insert a thin metal probe under your skin that emits high-frequency sound waves. These break down and liquefy the fat while minimizing damage to the surrounding tissue.
Finally, he will insert a specialized cannula to gently extract the liquid fat using suction and carefully sculpt the area for smooth, natural-looking contours.
While ultrasonic liposuction is typically an outpatient procedure in West Orange, you cannot drive yourself home. Recoveries vary, but most people follow a healing process. Some swelling and bruising are common, and you may feel fatigue or mild discomfort after the anesthesia or sedation.
Swelling and bruising typically peak within the first week but then quickly subside. Light walking is recommended to prevent blood clots, but you should avoid strenuous activity, lifting, and bending. By the second to third week after the procedure, the swelling and bruising will fade, and you can resume light exercise.
However, you cannot return to normal physical activities until six weeks after the surgery. By this time, the area will begin to show more defined results. It takes up to six months before the final results appear as the skin continues to tighten and the deep tissue swelling subsides.
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic procedure that significantly reduces stubborn fat deposits that have resisted diet and exercise. Ultrasonic liposuction offers more precise fat removal and better skin contraction.
