Liposuction is defined as the removal of fat deposits from beneath the skin using a hollow stainless steel tube, called a cannula, and a powerful vacuum. Liposuction is performed with general anesthesia, heavy IV sedation, or local anesthesia.

About Liposuction

There are many ways to perform liposuction. For example, liposuction can be accomplished painlessly using local anesthesia or with general anesthesia. In the realm of liposuction, maximum speed and maximum volume of aspirate are not the criteria for excellence. Ultimately, excellence is measured in terms of patient happiness, a function of safety, patient comfort, finesse and quality of results.

Liposuction Complications

Liposuction complications are often the direct result of lack of caution, poor judgment, over confidence, ignorance about pharmacology or adherence to faulty dogma. Make sure your surgeon is Board Certified and review several before and after photographs to insure that you are choosing the best doctor for you.

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction is a technique using large volumes of heavily diluted local anesthesia that is injected into the fat causing the targeted areas to become swollen and firm ("tumescent"). Local anesthesia is widely regarded as the safest form of anesthesia. Because local anesthesia persists for many hours, there is no need for narcotic pain medications after surgery.
