Tumescent liposuction safely removes undesired fatty deposits that do not respond from diet and exercise from nearly all body areas including the face, neck, chin, breast, abdomen, hips, flanks (love handles), back, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, knees, calves, and ankles. It also is an effective treatment for certain non-cosmetic conditions such as lipomas (benign fatty tumors), enlarged male and female breasts, and excessive underarm sweating. By using a diluted solution of local anesthetic and other medications to fill the fatty layer of the skin prior to removing the excess fat, general anesthesia is not required, thus eliminating potential complications. Unattractive bulging areas can be sculpted into more attractive contours. Tumescent liposuction is an outpatient procedure. Since the patient remains awake during the surgery, the dermatologic surgeon can ask him/her to change positions, allowing better sculpting of the targeted areas. It has an unprecedented safety profile, and allows dermatologic surgeons to efficiently remove both deep and superficial excess layers of fat with little discomfort, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic results. Patients see fewer skin irregularities, less bleeding, and reduced bruising.
