Tumescent liposuction is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted deposits of fat. Some patients have areas of excess fat that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Tumescent liposuction is the perfect solution for those troublesome areas. This procedure is performed in the comfort of our office under local, tumescent anesthesia and avoids the risks associated with general anesthesia. Tumescent liposuction has been performed safely since 1987. Through very small incisions, the fat is removed with power-assisted cannulas.
Some patients notice a significant improvement immediately after the procedure. However, the final results may take several months to appear as the skin contracts over the new body contour. Patients may resume normal activity several days after the procedure.
Liposuction may be performed to the contour the waistline, hips, arms, thighs, and neck.
