What Is Tumescent Liposuction?

Tumescent liposuction is a variant of the typical liposuction procedure performed by surgeons all across America. When a patient undergoes tumescent liposuction, anesthesia is injected into the fat beneath the skin. When the injection occurs, the fat becomes swollen and firm. The surgeon is then able to cut away the fat with minimal surgical bleeding.

What Are the Benefits of Tumescent Liposuction?

With traditional liposuction techniques, the patient receives a general anesthetic through intravenous sedatives, narcotic analgesics, or general anesthesia. However, tumescent liposuction makes general anesthetic practices completely unnecessary. Additionally, the surgery creates little to no bleeding due to the localized vasoconstriction of the fat by the local anesthesia. In fact, tumescent liposuction only produces one-two tablespoons of blood loss during the procedure. For regular procedures of liposuction, it is recommended that the patient donate blood a few weeks ahead of the surgery to then give to themselves while the surgery is underway. This fear is wholly quelled through the use of tumescent liposuction.
