Nobody likes to have surgery, not even a cosmetic surgery. But we all want or need the results. A surgery can always cause damage and the outcome may not be as desired. If it comes to a surgery that is done for cosmetic reasons only, then you want to be sure that the results are perfect.

The most popular cosmetic surgery today is a liposuction. A needle is inserted under your skin and then the cosmetic surgeon is removing the fat quite ungently. If you have seen the procedure on television already, you won't feel safer for your body yet.

The so called tumescent liposuction adds some advantages to this procedure so that it becomes less invasive and much safer.

There are good reasons for having a tumescent liposuction. The recovery time is much shorter. While the traditional method requires a general anesthesia, the tumescent liposuction gets along with just a local anesthesia. The way the fat is removed causes much less blood loss and damage. These facts made the tumescent liposuction to the most popular liposuction nowadays.

So what makes tumescent liposuction so different? The only difference is that a lot of liquid is pumped in the targeted area, about three times of fluid than fat that is going to be removed. The liquid which consists of saline, epinephrine and lidocaine makes the capillaries shrink so that less blood loss is the result.

The liquid is responsible for a swelling. This gives the needle much more room to operate and to remove the fat with less damage to the tissue.

After a tumescent liposuction you are quickly back in business. You can go back to work after three or four days already. The pain after the surgery can easily be suppressed with pain killers.

The only disadvantage of tumescent liposuction is that it takes a little longer because of all the fluid that also has to be removed after the surgery is finished. But compared with the advantages it is still the better choice.

There are common side effects like with any surgery. You may experience swelling and pain of course. There will be scars and some numbness. All these things should disappear after a few days to weeks and no longer bother you. Beside of that there are other typical complications for a liposuction. Your doctor has a list of all possible outcomes. Beside of that, tumescent liposuction is known to be very safe nowadays.
