Benefits of Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction only requires a few very small incisions, and it can be performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Tumescent liposuction is usually associated with a fairly fast recovery time. In fact, the average patient’s recovery takes around 24 to 48 hours.

Other advantages of tumescent liposuction include:

• Ease of fat removal – A saline solution is injected into the treated area to help the fat swell up, making it easier to target and remove fatty cells without affecting the surrounding tissues. This fluid also helps to prevent post-operative dehydration.
• Reduced side effects – Epinephrine, a hormone and neurotransmitter that shrinks blood vessels, is used to help minimize bleeding both during after the procedure. Fat is removed gently enough that swelling, bruising, and pain are all significantly limited after surgery.
• Better postoperative comfort – Liodcaine in the tumescent solution helps to decrease postoperative pain, making your recovery more comfortable.
• Improved cosmetic results – Our technique of tumescent liposuction uses a microcannula with a diameter less than 3 millimeters. This smaller tool allows fat to be removed in a more uniform fashion, which results in a smoother final appearance with less skin irregularities.
