Tumescent Liposuction Surgery

If you have decide for a cosmetic surgery then you have probably two problems. The first one is the surgery itself. Every surgery has risks which could probably even be fatal. The second problem is that you are doing the surgery for aesthetic reasons. So the surgery must also deliver aesthetic results beside the medical ones.

The most popular cosmetic surgery today is a liposuction. A needle is inserted under your skin and then the cosmetic surgeon is removing the fat quite ungently. If you have seen the procedure on television already, you won’t feel safer for your body yet.

That’s why many look for less invasive ways of surgical fat removal. One of these ways is so called tumescent liposuction. It is known today as the safest liposuction.

The advantages of tumescent liposuction are clear. Much less blood loss, a much faster recovery time and it just requires a local anesthesia instead of a full one. The procedure allows a fat removal with much less tissue damage and is therefore the number one technique in liposuction today.

So what makes tumescent liposuction so different? The only difference is that a lot of liquid is pumped in the targeted area, about three times of fluid than fat that is going to be removed. The liquid which consists of saline, epinephrine and lidocaine makes the capillaries shrink so that less blood loss is the result.

Once the fluid has caused quite a swelling the fat is removed by the inserted cannula. Since the fluid has caused the swelling, there is much more room now for the needle to do its work.

The tumescent liposuction is quickly finished and for you it means that you can go back to work after about four days already. It also means that you have less pain which can be kept under control with standard pain killers.

There is one disadvantage of tumescent liposuction but it is something you can neglect. The surgery takes a little longer than without the fluid because inserting the fluid and removing it slowly after the surgery just takes its time. Beside of that it is the same surgery, just with better results.

There are no special side effects of tumescent beside the ones you experience with any other surgery. These are bruising, swelling, scars, pain or numbness for example. All these effects should go away from alone after a while. There are other complications and your doctor will have a complete list of all possible negative outcomes. However, today liposuction is considered to be very safe.
