Tumerscent Liposuction

What is Tumescent Liposuction?

Rather than using energy to break down fat cells, tumescent liposuction injects a solution that hydrates the fat within a patient’s body so it is easily extracted. Like ultrasonic liposuction, tumescent liposuction has two techniques that are common among surgeons: wet and super wet.

In both wet and super wet procedures, the surgeon injects a fat-hydrating solution, making it easier to remove from the patient’s target area. This injection makes it less likely for the patient to bleed, and also diminishes the chances of complications during surgery, due to the solution’s intrinsic quality to constrict capillaries. As an added benefit, this procedure results in minimal bruising.

While both surgeries run the risk of various complications, the results can be life-changing for the better. With proper preparation and the help of a capable surgeon, patients can eliminate their most stubborn fat and contour their body in a way that can transform the entirety of their look in a positive way. Patients should consult their doctor about any allergies they may have and prepare for a brief recovery period, typically a few days.
