AWAKE LIPOSUCTION:TUMESCENT TECHNIQUE: TOTALLY UNDER LOCAL ANAESTHESIA
AWAKE LIPOSUCTION IS SAFE LIPOSUCTION
There are mainly two ways of doing Liposuction:
Under General Anaesthesia where admission in hospital is required
Tumescent Liposuction which is done totally under 'tumescent local anaesthesia'. It is done as an OPD procedure.
Tumescent Liposuction is very cost-effective because of elimination of general anesthesia and overnight admission in the hospital/clinic. Patients are awake, well oriented, conversing throughout the procedure and are absolutely free from pain in the postoperative period.
Tumescent Technique eliminates the need for general anesthesia and therefore the possible side-effects and complications from GA are eliminated.
The surgery becomes virtually bloodless. Therefore there is no 'weakness' afterwards.
Being a virtually bloodless surgery, chances of blood collection in the operated area very little.
'High Volume' fat removal (more than 1500 ml in one session), if required, is routinely done.
'Serial-liposuctions' – multiple areas done at few days' intervals. Serial Liposuction is possible only with Tumescent technique.
You may go home immediately after surgery. There is usually no need for overnight stay at clinic or nursing home.
Return to normal routine activities is very quick.
After-operation pain is very less or insignificant.
The cuts are very small (few mm only) and stitches are not required. The marks are insignificant
