Tumescent liposculpture or "liposuction" is the safest method available for removing unwanted or stubborn fat. This safe technique has been used on thousands of patients without the use of IV sedation or general anesthesia, eliminating the risks associated with anesthesia and speeding up recovery time. It also eliminates a lot of bruising and swelling with much less post-operative pain. Most of our patients feel very comfortable with just a little Tylenol during their fast recovery.

 

How It Works

 

Very small cannulas or straw-like tubes are used in the procedure which allows for the easy, non-traumatic removal of diet-resistant pockets of fat. Most people are able to return to normal activities the following day. The tumescent technique has been profiled on television programs such as 20/20 and 60 minutes and has revolutionized the way modern liposuction is performed.
