Although people loved the idea and were already interested in losing fat, liposuction (or surgical removal of excess fat) didn't catch on immediately.

1. Definition of Tumescent Liposuction

2. Although people loved the idea and were already interested in losing fat, liposuction (or surgical removal of excess fat)
didn't catch on immediately.

3. • Because the original procedure required both general and large incisions to access
the area that would be treated, this is partially why it has been discontinued. This
presented risks to the patient and required a prolonged healing period before they
could return to their normal activities.
• Liposuction was not a popular procedure until the development of better
techniques. Particularly, Tumescent Liposuction was the key to making liposuction
more popular.

4. • The name "tumescent liposuction" comes from the changes it makes in
the fat around the area where the doctor plans to operate. The word
"tumescent" refers to a swelling caused by the injection of chemical
solutions.
• These chemicals include substances that numb the area and cause fat
to swell. They also reduce blood flow. This allows a surgeon to perform
surgery on a patient without general anesthesia. Often, instruments are
inserted through small incisions in the skin instead of making large
incisions.

5. • Tumescent liposuction has the main advantage of reducing strain on the
patient's body. General anesthesia is not without risks. This is why there
are entire medical specialties that deal with it.
• This will greatly reduce the risk of complications during surgery. The
swelling can be reduced by reducing the blood flow to the area.
• People can usually return to their daily activities the next day thanks to
this. A surgeon will feel more comfortable removing larger amounts of fat
due to the lower risk of bleeding and safety of local anesthesia.
