Contouring with Tumescent Liposculpture (as seen
on “20/20”)
Liposuction: Dermatologist? Or Plastic Surgeon?
The
TUMESCENT TECHNIQUE, pioneered by a California Dermatologic
Surgeon, is now the Standard of Care for
liposuction fat removal. “Tumescence” means “puffing
up with liquid” (dilute local anesthetic)
When
TUMESCENT LIPOSUCTION is performed by a DERMATOLOGIC
SURGEON, under Local Anesthesia, with dilute Lidocaine,
there has never been a death in this country, to our
knowledge.
In
contrast, PLASTIC SURGEONS, utilizing GENERAL ANESTHESIA (now obsolete
for liposuction), or I.V. sedation, have suffered at
least 130 patient deaths in the U.S.A. alone when performing
suctioning (“suction lipectomy”).
TUMMY
TUCKS (surgical Abdominoplasty) have a very high complication
rate.
