Liposuction Surgery

A physician performing liposuction surgery will typically use a combination of local anesthesia and a tumescent fluid to infuse the treatment area with a numbing solution before performing the surgery. The tumescent fluid will firm up the fatty tissue and constrict small blood vessels to minimize post-operative bleeding and bruising. The surgeon will then use a cannula attached to the liposuction machine to remove the fat and skin. The procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia, and may require overnight hospitalization.
