About Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction is the most significant single advance in liposuction technique since liposuction was first perfomed. It has revolutionized liposuction.

Recovery is so quick that most of our tumescent liposuction patients are back at work in three days.

Tumescent (pronounced too-mess'-sent) liposuction involves the use of a very dilute solution of local anesthetics to both numb the area and to decrease bleeding in the body site where liposuction is performed.

So much safer: The tumescent solution is injected into the tissues prior to liposuction. The fat tissue receives enough solution that it actually plumps up and temporarily enlarges the fat compartment prior to liposuction, or "tumesces" them. Tumescent technique has a very much safer profile than non-tumescent liposuction, involves much less bleeding, a more rapid recovery, and eliminates the dangers of general anesthesia.

The advantages of the tumescent liposuction are so compelling that all liposuction cases I have performed since 1992 have been performed using tumescent technique.

Tumescent technique for liposuction was described and developed by a dermatologist, Jeffrey Klein, M.D., in the 1980s. You can find more about how tumescent liposuction markedly reduces bleeding and complications in the history of liposuction section. With the tumescent technique, liposuction can now easily be performed by local anesthesia.
