Liposuction in New York Part IV Traditional Liposuction (Part 4 of 4)
Traditional “tumescent” liposuction uses a large volume of fluid (usually natural salt solution and local anesthetic) and it is infiltrated in the tissues making fat cells easier to suction out.
The Truth:
Tumescent Liposuction is still the “gold standard” for this procedure. It has a low complication rate and an overall high level of satisfaction. It is still the preferred method of liposuction performed bythe vast majority of plastic surgeons the world over.
The Verdict:
Still the best method (not just because I prefer it), all others are marketing gimmickry and experimentation. This is the one you want.
