Tumescent Lipo

TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION

Tumescent liposuction is one of the most important advances in liposuction surgery. In tumescent liposuction, large volumes of dilute local anesthetic and adrenalin infiltrate the fatty tissues. Tumescent liposuction has two purposes - in some areas of the body, it provides anesthesia, and in all areas of the body, the adrenalin constricts blood vessels and significantly reduces the blood loss associated with techniques used before 1987. In addition, the tumescent technique allows Dr. Dolsky to remove larger amounts of fat and patients have a shorter post-operative recovery period. Depending upon the patient's age, health status, and weight, up to eight quarts (or two gallons of fat) may be removed during the procedure.

Liposuction is conveniently performed on an outpatient basis.
