Tumescent liposuction is relative new technique. It is considered as the one of the safest and common type of liposuction. However, traditional liposuction procedure is a traumatic surgical method. In which patients have to gone through painful process with extended time of recovery. Moreover, number of people who have customary liposuction end up with irregularities, divots and other problems on the skin.

The tumescent procedure has reduced number of drawbacks comparatively to other liposuction procedures. In this procedure injections are administrated with large quantities of dilute solution into the supposed fat accumulated areas for fat sculpting. The solution typically consists of mixture of saline (intravenous salt solution), a local anesthetic (lidocaine), and epinephrine (adrenaline, type of drug that constricts blood vessels and capillaries).

This tumescent anesthesia injections used for various benefits such as, it minimizes post- operational discomfort, and constriction of blood vessel lowers down the bleeding during surgery and bruising or inflammation after the operation. Huge amounts of fluid are used to blowup or "tumescent" the fat pockets n order to make them swollen and compact. The extended sections allow the liposuction cannula to go inside the skin easily as fatty tissues are removed.

The amount of solution of the injection is depend or varies on the requirement and gathered fat. Few of times administrated amount of solution is as like three times more than the amount of fat to be eliminated. Tumescent liposuction technique is usually performed on the patients who need merely a local anesthetic. This surgery takes significantly longer than conventional liposuction. Sometimes it also takes several hours for the completion of surgery. As the fluid injected into the body contains sufficient amount of anesthetic so, added anesthesia may not be required.

Fluid is injected by making several incisions and the injections continue until the fatty tissues are lengthened with the tumescent or fluid. As in case of every surgical process there are some complications are associated similarly tumescent liposuction technique sometimes results in lidocaine toxicity (little bit extra amount of the anesthetic material inside the body). But such problem occurs rarely. Fluid get gathered in the lungs, if extra amount is injected.

Since all the mixture of solution injected is removed, the weight of the patient after surgery may be the similar or higher. When the administrated fluid and swelling of tissues gets managed by the body, the weight ought to normalize. Recovery time of such type of liposuction is short in which patients can easily return to their work in few days after surgery. Patients totally get over in 12-14 days. Though, utmost benefits are usually visible only by 12 weeks of post-operation.
