What Are the Latest Developments in Liposculpture?
Dr. Abergel has a revolutionary technique called Short-Wave Diathermy which uses electro magnetic energy to raise the temperature of the fat without even touching the skins surface. New anesthesia techniques bring a greater level of comfort to the patient. Tumescent infiltration allows us to perform liposculpture under strictly local anesthesia. This technique is often useful for small areas, such as the chin, arms, or ankles. For larger areas, sedation is usually recommended for the comfort of the patient. The new patient-friendly, streamlined instruments developed by Dr. Abergel, is an important part of our success both in liposculpture and in the reduction of cellulite. Small, slim, blunt instruments are less traumatic, reduce discomfort, and promote a more speedy recovery.
