Learn More About Liposuction

The best candidates for Tumescent Liposuction are people with normal skin tone who are in good health. They have previously tried to get rid of fatty bulges through exercise and proper diet. The best candidates also have realistic expectations about their own bodies and understand that Tumescent Liposuction is not a replacement for weight loss. This service is a great alternative to tummy tuck (abdominoplasty).

Tumescent Liposuction is the safest and most effective method of liposuction. In the Tumescent Liposuction technique, large volumes of diluted local anesthetic are used to “inflate” the fat layer. The fat is then aspirated (with gentle suction) through a very small cannula (micro-cannula) inserted through tiny incisions in the skin.

The local anesthetic is so effective that it gets rid of the major hazard of traditional liposuction: general anesthesia. In addition, a small amount of epinephrine is injected along with the local anesthetic to temporarily shrink the blood vessels. As a result, there is insignificant blood loss with Tumescent Liposuction as compared to traditional liposuction.

During the procedure patients generally, experience minimal to no pain. For several days following the surgery patients may have a “sore muscle” feeling as if they have been vigorously exercising. Recovery times vary depending on the body areas that are treated. Most patients return to normal activities within two to three days.

For best results, a compression garment should be worn over the treated area for seven days following the surgery.

The results are obvious within a week of the procedure. There is usually still some swelling at this time; even more, improvement will be seen in the following weeks. The final results will be evident three to six months after surgery.
