Tumnescent is the fluid we inject into the skin before we remove the fat. It is not a new technique. Almost all doctors use tumnescent.
Why would we do that? The fluid has two things in it: 1. numbing medication and 2. epinephrine. The epinephrine is the most important factor, as it causes the small blood vessels to constrict so you don’t lose as much blood. The numbing medication can allow you to do liposuction without general anesthesia, though unless for a small area, I think for optimal shaping, fat removal, and safety general anesthesia is better.
All doctors doing liposuction use this tumnescent. Ultrasonic, Vaser, UAL, Slim lipo, smart lipo, traditional liposuction- these are what you do after you have blown up the tissue with the tumnescent fluid.
