When it comes to liposuction, there are numerous techniques that cosmetic surgeons are using today. Of these variants, the two most common are ultrasonic liposuction and tumescent liposuction. Therefore, we are going to focus on tumescent liposuction in this section.
Tumescent liposuction is a relatively straight forward procedure. The cosmetic surgeon first injects a anesthetic solution (which is comprised of lidocaine and epinephrine) into the patient’s body. This solution causes the patient’s fat deposits to swell while shrinking the capillaries. As a result, the cosmetic surgeon is able to remove more fat and create a more contoured look.
The actual fat deposits are removed with a device called a cannula (in a process very similar to how a home vacuum cleaner works).
Because of the way the anesthetic solution works, there is significantly less bleeding than when compared to the other liposuction methods. Additionally, the levels of swelling and bruising are noticeably less.
Additionally, since the cosmetic surgeon uses a solution composed of lidocaine, there is no need for general anesthesia. As a result of this solution, there is less of a probability of the patient suffering a bad reaction to anesthesia. This is because medical studies have found there is generally more risk associated with general anesthesia than with a local anesthetic.
Lastly, since the cannula used in this surgery is often smaller than the ones used in the other liposuction methods, tumescent liposuction patients are often able to recover more quickly. This is because the surgeon is able to make smaller incision to remove the fat deposits.
As you can see, tumescent liposuction is by far one of the better liposuction methods in use today. If you are interested in learning more about this proven procedure, we highly recommend you take a few minutes and visit the Liposuction Fort Worth Guide.

Kathy Smith: Weight Loss WorkoutThis hour with Kathy Smith will get you sweating, burning fat, dropping pounds, and strengthening muscles. This moderate- intensity workout includes both aerobics and strength training. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, and the combination of aerobics and strength training burns more calories than either alone. Smith offers both beginning and advanced modifications so you can work at your own pace. Insets give helpful alignment tips. You start with an 8-minute warm up, then you work your arms with weights for 6 minutes. Four different aerobic segments follow, totaling 30 minutes. Most of the aerobic moves are simple and frequently repeated, with no difficult choreography until the last segment, which becomes dancier. After the aerobics, you do standing legwork for 5 minutes, add weights for another 5 minutes, and cool down for 6 minutes. At the end of the video, Smith explains a nutrition program for weight loss. --Joan Price
