A minimally invasive surgical procedure, tumescent liposuction has been growing increasingly popular among patients who want a more effective, safer and less painful procedure that also requires a lighter recovery.
New York-based cosmetic plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg performs lumescent liposuction, which is FDA approved and among the most commonly used methods of liposuction. For those contemplating undergoing liposuction due to stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to budge from their thighs, buttocks or tummy area — no matter how much they diet or exercise — the tumescent technique is currently one of the safest and most effective solutions available.
The word "Tumescent" means swollen and firm, which accurately describes this procedure, as it includes injecting a specialized fluid at the site of the unwanted fat. This causes the area to swell, as the mix of anesthesia, saline and epinephrine take effect. Epinephrine works to temporarily shrink the blood vessels at the treatment area, which significantly decreases potential tissue damage while preventing blood loss.
Less bleeding and damage means less swelling and bruising once the surgery is complete. The incision made during the procedure is so small that it does not require stitches, and most patients can return to work and many normal activities within two days of tumescent liposuction.
Dr. Greenberg can perform the tumescent technique alongside other liposuction procedures, such as ultrasound-assisted liposuction or laser liposuction, in order to achieve the best contouring results in the most safe and efficient manner possible.
