Body Contouring with Modern, Safe, and Appealing Liposuction Techniques: FAQs about Tumescent Liposuction

First introduced in the 1980s, the tumescent method involves using large volumes of dilute anesthesia to cause the localized fatty pockets or treatment sites to become (temporarily) swollen. This process also magnifies the area so Dr. Schroeder can better see what she is treating, which in turn, supports patient satisfaction with treatment outcomes. The risks of post-surgery irregularities and asymmetries are minimized. Furthermore, we cannot overemphasize that lipo no longer needs to be performed under general anesthesia.

 With modern techniques, Dr. Schroeder can complete the entire process with local anesthesia. Since patients remain awake and can communicate the whole time, standing or altering position during treatment would not be unusual. In this way, Dr. Schroeder can proactively examine and ensure symmetry and that no areas have gone missing during treatment. These characteristics optimize treatment outcomes and help to get the most superior and satisfying results.

Modern liposuction techniques‘ less invasive and aggressive nature has tremendously reduced recovery and downtime. While you may feel tired and achy for a few days, you can likely return to work and moderate activity by day No. 3 or 4. Once the fat deposits have been removed, they will never return to the treatment site.
