Liposuction surgery vs. Tumescent technique

With all the marketing out there for different liposuction techniques, your confusion is very understandable. First, ALL liposuction techniques are surgical procedures.  Therefore, for your safety, it is critical to check the credentials of your surgeon and their board certification status. Now, most plastic surgeons perform some form of tumescent liposuction. This entails infiltrating (filling) the areas to be treated with a solution that helps constrict blood vessels and makes the fat cells more "swollen".   This aides in minimizing blood loss and facilitates aspiration (sucking out) of the excess fat.  Hope this helps.
