The Benefits of Tumescent Liposuction

by Jay Cindy

The appearance of cellulite and bulges on the body make most
people want to run to a plastic surgeon to have all the
bulges in their bodies neatly sucked out. Smooth skin with
no fat deposits is the ideal look everyone is chasing.
Despite the perception of those who wants the look, not
everyone can just flock to the surgeon for a quick fix.
Tumescent liposuction does have an ideal candidate.

The procedure minimizes the possibility of major blood loss
by placing the patient under a local anesthetic rather than
a general one. It is a recommended surgery for those who are
already physically fit and just overweight by about 10 to 20
pounds. The fatty deposit in the skin of these clients
should be localized, as well.

After agreeing to the surgery in writing, the patient is
able to see through photographs of the pre-surgery body and
the topographical map that the doctor draws on the body
where all the insertions will occur. The pen used to draw on
the skin is sterile, and it is used after the body has been
disinfected with a sterile solution. After the patient sees
his "map," he is then asked to relax on sterile towels and a
physician will administer a local anesthetic.

There are some clear advantages to using the tumescent
liposuction procedure as compared to the traditional
liposuction methods more prevalent prior to the 1990s. The
most important one is that the patient tends to lose far
less blood. Patients also do not need IV fluids for this
procedure. Topical anesthetics like lidocaine also reduce
the risk of infections.

The biggest nightmare a plastic surgery patient usually has
is the idea of surgeon having to go back in for a second
time to correct something that was not performed properly
the first time. Tumescent liposuction makes it easier for
patients to put this fear to rest. Since tumescence can
amplify defects and make them more easily detectable by
doctors, first time procedure tend to address the original
problems more successfully.

Tumescent liposuction seems to have the magic of making the
cellulite that appears in the surface of the skin disappear.
Patients should be aware, however, that the cellulite does
not exactly go away. Surgery changes the skin surface but
does not remove the fatty deposits that altered the skin
surface in the first place.

Most surgeons choose not to participate in surgeries that
seem to be a quick fix for patients. Weight control should
be a consistent program that encourages good habits, not a
frequent, convenient run to the plastic surgeon. Exercise
and keeping a healthy diet are still the most effective ways
the manage weight and reduce cellulite. The surgery is known
to suppress appetites and may offer a bit of an advantage
immediately following the procedure. The appetite will
return, though, and patients need to be aware that they
alone will have to have the will to maintain surgery
results.

Tumescent liposuction is not intended for everyone who
believes he or she needs it in order to look better and
weigh less. It is intended for those who are already
maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but just cannot seem to
lose the last bit of bulge even after working out.
