Dr. Johnson presents Tumescent Liposuction

Developed by dermatologic surgeons in the 1980s, tumescent liposuction involves filling the fatty layer of skin with a diluted solution of local anesthesia and other medications prior to removing excess fat. Tumescent liposuction allows for safe and efficient removal of both deep and superficial excess layers of fat with little discomfort, rapid healing, and improved cosmetic results. It is an outpatient procedure.

Liposuction is most effective for removing localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. Liposuction is not intended as a substitute for weight loss; rather, it is a contouring procedure. It is best utilized in a program of exercise and optimal weight maintenance. The best results are obtained on body areas where there is reasonable muscle tone, good skin elasticity, and fat is not excessive. In cases where there is a significant loss of tone and elasticity, the desired cosmetic results may require a combination of both liposuction and surgical skin tightening to remove the excessive loose tissue.

After tumescent liposuction, most patients are generally alert and able to function; patients can usually return to a desk-type job within a few days. Physical exercise may be resumed
3-7 days after the procedure.
