What is Tumescent Liposuction?
The Tumescent Liposuction method is a relatively new technique for Liposuction. Basically, the areas of fat are injected with anesthetic liquid which causes the compartmenTumescentts of fat to become swollen and firm. This expanded compartment of fat allows the Liposuction cannula (the slender tube) to move smoothly beneath the skin as the fat is removed.The Tumescent method of Liposuction reduces post-operative bruising, swelling and pain. In addition, any blood loss is minimized.
Who is the best candidate for Tumescent Liposuction?
Sometimes maintaining a slimmer, more sculpted body requires more than basic diet and exercise. Liposuction can be a wonderful solution for removing and re-sculpting stubborn areas of fat on your body. Tumescent Liposuction is especially successful on areas that require precision sculpting, such as the neck, face, arms, calves and ankles. It is also beneficial for individuals who have large areas of excessive fat. Your Plastic Surgeon will evaluate your body and your goals to make the most beneficial recommendations for you personally.
Anesthesia used:
For many patients, general anesthesia is recommended by your Plastic Surgeon, however, for others mild sedation combined with the anesthetic contained in the solution which is injected may provide sufficient comfort. your Plastic Surgeon will advise you and help you make an informed decision.
What are the risks:
Although the anesthesia requirements are lessened and blood loss is minimized, Tumescent Liposuction patients still must consider the rare complications associated with surgery. Since each patient has individual considerations, your Plastic Surgeon will discuss these risks with you personally.
After the surgery:
The anesthetic solution has long-acting effects and helps to provide pain relief after the Tumescent Liposuction and will decrease the need for additional pain medication. Most patients experience swelling in the areas treated with Liposuction for the first day or two after surgery and there may be some fluid drainage from the incision sites.
With Tumescent Liposuction, after a few weeks, light activity may be resumed and within a few weeks, normal activity may be resumed.
The new you:
After the Tumescent Liposuction surgery, patients are usually able to see an impressive difference, however, the greatest improvement is visible after three weeks when most of the swelling has subsided. Any persistent mild swelling will disappear after approximately 3 months and the desired body contour will be evident. By eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, your leaner and slimmer figure can be easily maintained.
