Tumescent liposuction is one of the most popular techniques used in liposuction in modern medicine. This surgery aims to change body proportions without removing excess body fat from certain parts of the body. When this is necessary, excess oil can be transferred from another body part during the intervention. Tumescent liposuction is also known as liposculpture.
In the tumescent technique, a large amount of serum is mixed with some anesthetic drug, adrenaline, and sometimes bicarbonate injected into the areas where liposuction will be performed. In this way, numbness is provided in the injection areas.
Although it is generally claimed that general anesthesia is not required in this technique, giving plenty of fluid under the skin may cause discomfort and pain in the patient. Therefore, patients may be temporarily put to sleep during the injection. It is claimed that the technique significantly reduces the pain of the patient in the postoperative period and the effect of anesthesia continues for another 16 hours.
All types of cannula used in the process both absorb the fat tissue while opening holes in the fat tissue to be liposuctioned and destroy the surrounding fat cells in the area while it passes through. For this reason, excessive liposuction should be avoided.
In summary, tumescent is one of the most popular methods used in liposuction. Although liposuction usually is done by removing excess fat from the body, in this technique surgeons do liposuction without removing excess fat from the body. They change your body proportion with injected fluid under your skin. In addition, don’t forget that tumescent liposuction is a time requested surgery type so, you need to be patient and if you consider the tumescent method you can contact us.
