Which Kind of Liposuction is Safest? I Just Want my Saddlebags Done?

Dr. Jeffrey Klein, a dermatologist, researched the metabolism of local anesthetic thoroughly and clincially, when discovering tumescent liposuction.  There can be interactions with current medications that you take, as well as sedation were it to be given to you.  I exclusively perform tumescent liposuction without sedation and this provides the greatest safety possible. There are risks with any surgery so discuss this with your surgeon. Then, whether the surgeon uses power liposuction, smart liposuction, ultrasonic liposuction vs. conventional microcannulae liposuction, the different procedures and the risks of contour irregularities and thermal injury must be reviewed.
 

I understan the fear associated with general anesthesia but depending upon the amounts of fat to be removed would need to be considered in my choice of methods of anesthesia. For me I use local tumescence + face mask or IV sedation. I also preform ALL the types of liposuction methods. Without an examination my guess of type is the combination of Smart Lipo Triplex+traditional lipo. 

You are smart to eliminate the docs who still do the old method of general anesthesia and traditional liposuction.  Pure local tumescent anesthesia with the micro canulas are the way to go when you want great results and the safest liposuction.  Board certified dermatologists are one of  the the groups  who will have the most experience in this technique and is so worth it .  Sincerely,
