What is tumescent lipo?

Tumescent liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove excess body fat. It involves injecting a tumescent solution into the area being treated to reduce bleeding, swelling, and bruising. The tumescent solution also helps to numb the area, so that only a local anesthetic is needed.

The tumescent lipo procedure is performed by making small incisions in the skin and then inserting a cannula, or thin tube, into the fatty tissue. The tumescent solution is then injected into the area, and the cannula is used to break up and remove the fat. The fat is then suctioned out of the body.

Tumescent liposuction is typically used to treat small areas of excess fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms. It is a relatively safe and effective procedure, and recovery is typically quick.

Here are some of the benefits of tumescent liposuction:
