Edmonton's Cosmetic Surgery Clinic
 What is Tumescent Liposuction?
Tumescent liposuction is designed to remove unwanted localized deposits of fat cells that are unresponsive to exercise or good diet. It is an outpatient dermatologic procedure that is performed under local anesthesia in our institute. Most areas of excess fat can be treated including chin, neck, jowls, arms, chest (men), inner and outer thighs, buttocks, knees, hips and abdomen. It is meant for body contouring, not a treatment for obesity.
What is the Tumescent Liposuction technique?
Tumescent liposuction technique is designed to deliver maximum results
while minimizing the risks. This technique ensures no pain during the
procedure, limits bleeding, and avoids the risks of general anesthesia.
The area to be treated is numbed with a low concentration anesthetic
solution. Following that, the fat is removed through small incisions in
the skin. The amount of fat to be removed is determined by constantly
evaluating the area. Following the procedure, an absorbent pad is
placed over the small skin incisions and a pressure garment is worn for
several days.
Please call us at 424-4440 if you have questions about tumescent liposuction or to arrange a prompt, complimentary confidential consultation.
 Who is a candidate for liposuction?
Both men and women in good health, who have firm elastic skin and have
distinct areas of localized fat that are disproportionate to the rest
of the body are suitable candidates for liposuction. Each patient is
personally assessed by Dr. Sapijaszko to determine if she or he is a
suitable candidate for the procedure. For optimal success, it is
important for patients to maintain good exercise and nutritional habits.

What can be expected after the procedure?
Following liposuction, patients are given detailed care instructions.
They are able to walk immediately after the surgery. The drainage of
the anesthetic solution from the incision sites usually stops within 18
to 36 hours. During that time, it is important to wear the compression
garment and absorbent pads. Patients usually return to normal activity
within three to five days and full physical activity within a week.
