When it comes to liposuction there is a variety of techniques available to the surgeon in order to lower risks and increase the results, one of these techniques is known as the tumescent technique. This procedure has been known to not only increase results, but as far as lowering the risks associated with liposuction it has been known to reduce the amount of selling as well as reducing the amount of pain and bruising associated with the procedure.

In the procedure the surgeon will inject a fluid which contains a mixture of saline, local anesthetic and adrenaline. Together these fluids will loosen up the fat cells making them easier to be vacuumed out and at the same time numb the nerves and contract the blood vessels. This in turn lowers the risks associated with the procedure by reducing the chance for blood loss during and after the procedure.

The amount and ratios of the mixture are determined between the surgeon and anesthesiologist and is based on the amount of fat the patient intends to have removed. The biggest issues associated with using the tumescent technique is that the surgery itself may take twice as much time. The patient will only receive a local anesthetic in this procedure since the working fluid contains more than enough anesthetic for the procedure. The amounts needed for the procedure needed to be determined carefully as the adrenaline will help the body absorb the anesthetic without side effects but will also wear off faster than the anesthetic will.

The surgeon will then make incisions in order to insert the vacuum tube to remove the fat calls. After these incisions are made and the fat cells are removed, the surgeon will then stitch up the incisions but will also add a drain tube to allow the excess fluid from the procedure a way to drain out of the abdominal region safely.

It is important to discuss all of your options with the plastic surgeon during your consultation so that you know exactly what will be going on after the anesthetic is administered. This will also be the time to discuss the rates and fees that will be charged to you for the performance of the procedure. Due the high costs associated with a plastic surgery, the patient may not be able to afford the entire procedure and for that reason there are many financing choices available to you to help cover the procedural costs.
