How Is Tumescent Liposuction Performed?
Tumescent liposuction does not require general anesthesia. The tumescent fluid that makes this technique possible contains a local anesthetic to eliminate any discomfort.
This solution engages the fatty subcutaneous tissue layer, causing it to swell and become firm. This “magnifies” the layer of tissue that contains fat for more accurate fat removal.
More precise adjustments can be made with the microcannula when this area is magnified, affording surgeons the ability to prevent inadvertent irregularities from occurring under the skin’s surface.
The doctor will make a series of minimal incisions and insert a small, thin cannula beneath the skin to suction the unwanted fat into a sterile collection system. With precise and gentle back and forth motions, The doctor can help patients achieve a refined definition and contour of the problem area.
What Is My Recovery Like After Tumescent Liposuction?
Once the procedure is complete, the doctor will provide an elastic compression bandage/garment to help the skin contract and heal. He will also give thorough instructions on caring for the treatment areas and when you are cleared to resume specific activities.
Any residual tumescent fluid will drain from the incisions over the next several days. Patients can return to work within one to three days and resume exercise after one week.
Complications are rare and typically minor. Overall, tumescent liposuction is a safe and effective body sculpting technique, and since tumescent liposuction uses a thinner instrument than traditional liposuction, this technique does not create significant scarring.
What Results Can I Expect After Tumescent Liposuction?
