Tumescent liposuction is a technique that involves injecting a solution containing lidocaine, a local anesthetic, into the fat beneath your skin. The solution numbs the tissues and shrinks the blood vessels, eliminating pain and reducing and minimizing bleeding, bruising, and swelling. That means the general anesthesia that comes with traditional liposuction is unnecessary.
The result is increased comfort and a quicker recovery period, making tumescent liposuction the safest form of liposuction available.
