The advantages of the tumescent technique…
The tumescent technique is a relatively liposuction method that can reduce post operative bruising, swelling and pain. Blood loss is minimized during tumescent liposuction, because the large amount anesthetic causes the fat to tighten. The liquid causes the compartments of fat to become swollen and firm or “tumesced.” The expanded fat compartments allow the liposuction cannula to travel smoothly beneath the skin as the fat is removed.
The best candidates for tumescent liposuction
Any person who is a candidate for traditional liposuction is also a good candidate for the tumescent technique. Although the technique can be used on any area of the body, it is commonly used on areas that require enhanced precision, such as the face, neck, arms, calves and ankles.
Individuals who have large areas of excess fat may also be good candidates for tumescent liposuction.
In your initial consultation, Dr. Ricciardelli will explain the body-contouring methods that may be most appropriate for you. For example, if you believe you want liposuction in the abdominal area, you may learn that an abdominoplasty or “tummy tuck” may more effectively meet your goals; or that a combination of traditional liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction will be your best choice.
