Tumescent Liposuction Facts

Tumescent Liposuction is among the latest improvements in Liposuction. It’s also known as wet liposuction. During the operation, the surgeon injects a solution containing a local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor directly into the subcutaneous fat to be removed. The volume of fluid produces a space between the muscle and the fatty tissue admitting more room for the cannula.

The Tumescent procedure allows accumulated volumes of fat diminution per operation than was previously conceivable, while simultaneously increasing the safety and well-being of the patient.

In spite of a possibly great total volume of local anesthetic injected into the tissue, assimilation by the body is spread over 12-36 hours because of the vasoconstrive effect, and systemic toxicity from lidocaine is rare.

Surgeons are finding it to be an efficient tool in the elimination of stubborn fat on the hips, thighs, stomach, upper arms, and other difficult regions on the body. Patients experiencing Tumescent Liposuction oftentimes see reductions of a few inches from the hips, thighs and buttocks. In addition to the accumulated volumes of fat removal, the patient experiences reduced levels of post-liposuction contusing.

During Tumescent liposuction, the targeted areas are injected with a specific solution causing the fatty tissue to tumesce. With Tumescent Liposuction these components come together to result in fat removal, lessened blood loss, reduced contusing, and a maximization of patient comfort.

People who have undergone tumescent liposuction usually recover within five to seven days. An elastic compression garment is worn following surgery to help the skin contract and heal. After the tumescent liposuction procedure, most patients can usually return to a desk-type job within a few days. Patients may resume physical activity within five to seven days following the procedure.
