Tumescent Liposuction - How is it done?
Large volumes of saline (salt water) and anesthetic solution
(Lidocaine) with adrenaline are injected under the skin. This
is done through tiny stab like incisions (usually less than
1/4 to 1/2 inch long). The fluid firms the skin (makes it
tumescent). A liposuction cannula is inserted through these
tiny incisions and a high vacuum removes the fat. The small
wounds are closed with suture or tiny tapes (steri-strips).
