iconTumescent Liposuction



Tumescent Liposuction is a type of liposuction which consists of several benefits.
This procedure is invented in the year 1985 by a dermatologic surgeon named Jeffrey Klein, MD.
Liposuction is a very popular surgery which helps many people especially women achieve their desired body shapes. Although liposuction in general is associated with pain and blood, Tumescent liposuction is one type of liposuction which offers the same results but with less pain and blood.

 The difference of the Tumescent liposuction is that it uses local anesthesia and sedatives compared to the other types of liposuction surgeries. When a patient is under a local anesthesia, the surgeon will be able to work on the body fats more accurately compared to when the patient is under an international or high dosage anesthetic drug. The patient will not feel any pain since the effect of the anesthesia and sedatives are the same. It is just that the doctor will be able to feel the muscle movements when the patient is awake. It will give the doctor a more accurate feel of the fats from the body. One of the Tumescent Liposuction procedures is the injections of an anesthetic solution to the fatty acids. The area will become dense and firm thus allowing the surgeon to extort accurate fat from the body.

Tumescent liposuction procedures require little incisions in the skin and therefore will produce less blood compared with the other types of liposuctions. Since the cut on the skin is going to be tiny, scars and bruises are more likely to be less noticeable and will heal even faster.

Patients who will undergo Tumescent liposuction will be able to stand up after the procedure. Some patients may even go home by themselves after the liposuction. Although this is not advised since a liposuction is generally a very serious surgery.

 One of the differences between the Tumescent Liposuction and other Liposuction types is the used of smaller cannulas. These cannulas are inserted in the skin through small cavities. Instead of few big holes created on the skin, Tumescent liposuction creates several small cavities. With small cavities, the skin is likely to bruise less compared to big cavities.

Tumescent Liposuction is widely used by all surgeons. This type of liposuction is very popular and can be performed together with the other types.

 Patients who want to decrease the fats on their buttocks, hips, arms, neck, legs, knees, flanks, thighs- both inner and outer part, and even enlarged breasts in males can undergo the Tumescent Liposuction.
