Should I be concerned about having tumescent Liposuction, will it make my heart race?

Thank you for your question.  Usually during liposuction, your heart doesn't race like it does with dental procedures.  During liposuction, the lidocaine with epi is injected into the fat, whereas, during dental procedures, it's injected into the gums which are much more vascular and the epinephrine is absorbed much faster.

The amount of epinephrine ( adrenaline) typically used in Tumescent Liposuction will not usually significantly raise a person's  heart rate although some individuals are very sensitive to this substance.We do a through medical screening and pre operative evaluation for any prospective Tumescent Liposuction patients to make sure the procedure will be safe for that individual.

Generally speaking, patient undergoing liposuction under local or tumescent liposuction technique do not have racing heart even though some of them have it during dental procedures. The epinephrine (the product that can make the heart race) is not injected into a vein so that minimizes the chances of fast heart rate.I would encourage you to speak to you doctor about it and fully clarify your concerns.Best regards
