For years, individuals have been fighting the “battle of the bulge” in areas that can’t be sculpted by diet and exercise. This has remained a frustrating battle. Now, as technological advances are being made, there are more solutions for those who would like to undergo a surgery to refine their problem area.

Tumescent liposuction is a new twist on an older method of removing excess fat. The benefits to tumescent liposuction over the traditional methods are easily recognized:

  • The mixture of a local anesthetic with other medications make the tissue swollen and firm prior to evacuation of the excess fat, thus allowing the surgeon to have better control over the contouring.
  • Since general anesthesia is not required, fewer complications are likely.
  • Tumescent liposuction is an outpatient procedure, significantly reducing the cost.
  • Patients are coherent during the procedure allowing the surgeon to make adjustments to the angle, if necessary.
  • This procedure has an excellent safety profile, and allows surgeons to effectively remove both deep and superficial excess layers of fat with little discomfort, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic results.
  • Patients see fewer skin irregularities, reduced bruising and less bleeding.


There is a minor chance of risk involved including:

  • skin irregularity
  • lumpiness
  • dimpling
  • loose skin
  • numbness
  • infections
  • objectionable scarring


However, most of these consequences are rare and are usually easily corrected.

Contact your physician if you are interested in knowing more about the benefits of tumescent liposuction and to see if it’s right for you.
