Explanation of Tumescent Technique

Tumescent technique and Waser Lipo System

Tumescent means swollen. Tumescent liposuction associated with epinephrine and lidocaine is a dilute solution. This solution is injected into the subcutaneous fat, the area to swell and firm. (* The surgeon will use small surgical instrument pumping away the excess fat deposits).

History

Tumescent technique was developed in 1985, Dr. Ing. Jeffrey A. Custo, MD, a dermatologist in California. By 1985, liposuction was quite a bit risky, often causing much loss of blood, that patients often need blood transfusions. Vasoconstriction of dilute tumescent epinephrine Tech, almost completely eliminated the loss of blood during the liposuction procedure. This method is now considered the safest, most effective form of liposuction.

Benefits

Tumescent liposuction can significantly reduce the frequent side effects of older procedures. Epinephrine / lidocaine solution temporarily reduces the size of the capillaries, which leads to significantly less blood loss. Most patients will lose only about 15-30 ml of blood. It also helps to reduce pain, bruising and swelling after surgery.

The risk of

As with any surgery, there are risks associated with the tumescent technique, although the risk is minimal. If the amount of lidocaine solution is too high, the patient can receive lidocaine toxicity. There is also a risk of fluid retention, if too much solution is injected. This is the risk of potential candidates should discuss with his / her doctor before the surgery.

The ideal candidate

This operation is not a substitute for weight loss. The ideal candidate should have an ideal body weight and is flexible and resilient. The procedure is the most effective way of problem areas that are difficult to remove with just diet and exercise.

Dr. customers significantly reduce the risk of discovery associated with liposuction. Tumescent technique is to remove a blood transfusion occurs in older liposuction procedures. In addition, these offices do not require hospitalization and general anesthesia is used. Patients now recover faster, experience less pain, and for optimum cosmetic results. Tumescent liposuction technique is the safest technique and is now a worldwide standard of care.

Waser ® Lipo System

Technology combined with tumescent Waser ® Lipo System, patients can expect fast, consistent and quick recovery. This system is the only one with the ability to distinguish between the target and the surrounding fat tissue, which means the surgeon can safely terminate unwanted fat, while preserving the connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels.

Waser ® is strengthening sound vibrations of energy resonance. Sound Surgical Technologies, LLC was established in 2002 and received FDA clearance of the body. Although relatively new, the procedure is safe enough to be carried out thousands of the world, without serious complications.

How does this work

First, the tumescent fluid is injected into the fatty tissue around the area suctioned. Waser ® system uses ultrasonic waves to cause fat cells to break apart and the emulsions. This allows you to easily remove the fat from the cannula, or massage.

Areas that can be treated

This method can be used anywhere where there are small pockets of extra fat. The most common areas include: abdomen, thighs, knees, buttocks, arms, love handles, breasts, hips, back, neck and chin.
