What Is Tumescent Liposuction?

As the popularity of liposuction has increased over the years, so too have the advances in this field. The goal of your cosmetic surgeon is to provide you with a reshaped and revitalized body contour by removing stubborn fatty deposits under your skin. There was a time when liposuction could only be performed under a general anesthesia.

This type of treatment utilizes a local anesthesia and allows you to be an out patient.
