Is Tumescent Solution Part of the "Fat" in the Container, or is It Removed Before Aspiration?

November 29, 2012
Asked By:marianne2641

If 2000 ml of tumescent solution is injected into the abdomen, is it aspirated out BEFORE the laser lipo begins, or is it present as the laser is used, and pulled out along with the fat? I am trying to distinguish between pure fat aspirated, and fat that is in a suspension with tumescent solution that was initially injected. I am trying to understand the technical aspects of this surgery. thanks
