Liposculpture Procedure
Anesthesia
This surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia and Pronox to keep the patient comfortable. We do not use general anesthesia. A large volume of tumescent solution (saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine) is injected into the fatty areas. The lidocaine swells the tissues for easier removal, while the saline provides local numbing.
Incisions
Our Surgeon makes small incisions in areas with unwanted fat deposits. These openings allow the surgeon to use the cannula (thin tube) to loosen and suction out excess tissue. Common incision sites include the abdomen, hips, thighs, knees, flank, and back.
Excess Fat Removal
Once the incisions are made, the surgeon inserts the cannula through them to target the deeper fat deposits. These thin tubes are moved in a controlled back-and-forth motion to break up and loosen the tissue. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out gently using a special machine attached to the cannula.
Closing Incisions
The small incisions are carefully closed with sutures or surgical tape. Sterile dressings and compression garments are applied to complete these cosmetic procedures.
