What Is Tumescent Liposuction?

Tumescent liposuction or liposculpture is a plastic surgery technique in which excess fat is removed from the body after injecting the target portions with fluid to make them tumescent. Tumescent liposuction is a refined and superior form of regular liposuction or lipoplasty since the cosmetic procedure takes lesser time, causes less bleeding and pain, and yet provides better results.

Who Should Go For It?

Tumescent liposuction can be considered by healthy, disease free individuals who have been unable to lose stubborn fat even after strict dieting and exercise. Tumescent liposuction is a body sculpting procedure that should not be used by those seeking simple weight loss but by those who want better looking and toned abs, arms, chins, thighs, buttocks and calves.

The Tumescent Liposuction Procedure

The area from which fat is to be removed is first injected with a large amount of fluid composed of lidocaine (anesthetic), epinephrine (for blood vessel contraction) and normal saline in order to separate fat from muscle tissues before it is sucked out through thin hollow tubes using vacuum suction. The whole process takes two to four hours and is carried out only under local anesthesia.

Benefits

The major benefit provide by tumescent liposuction is that the areas from which fat is removed are sculpted by the plastic surgeon to look toned, healthy and aesthetically appealing. It can be a great confidence booster for those who are conscious about their looks.

Risks and Side Effects

Some bruising, swelling and discharge is normal and continues for 24 to 48 hours after the plastic surgery has been performed. Unlike normal fat removal surgeries, tumescent liposuction carries very little risk of excessive bleeding, infection, scarring or disfigurement and one can get back to work within two to three days after having the body procedure.

Costs

Although the cost of tumescent liposuction can vary based upon a number of factors, be prepared to spend at least $1000 to $3000 per area from which fat removal has to take place.

Edmonton Canada tumescent liposuction - News update:
Three-year results reported from a controlled trial of etanercept plus methotrexate (MTX) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) confirm the continued efficacy of the combination against monotherapy, with no unexpected adverse effects. The TEMPO trial was planned from outset as a longer-term, three-year study. It compared etanercept plus MTX against either drug as monotherapy in adult patients with active RA not responding to at least one previous DMARD other than MTX. They were randomised to double-blind treatment with etanercept, MTX, or the combination; initial outcomes focussed on response to treatment using ACR criteria. For the long-term phase, the outcomes used were disease activity and remission using the Disease Activity Score (DAS); response according the ACR score was also assessed. The authors used statistical techniques that attempted to correct for biases inherent in long-term therapeutic trials. TEMPO initially randomised 686 patients, of whom 682 received at least one dose of study drug. Over the three years, 350 patients withdrew from the trial, with more withdrawals due to inefficacy in the monotherapy groups (combination group 5% vs. 16% for etanercept and 17% for MTX). Analysis indicated that those in the combination therapy group had greater improvement in DAS and were more likely to remain in remission than those in either monotherapy group. Patients in the combination group did better than those in the monotherapy groups on most other outcomes; the combination and etanercept were both better than MTX alone for radiographic progression. Adverse effects were similar across the three groups, and no new or unexpected adverse effects were reported in year three. Overall, the authors conclude that etanercept plus MTX combination treatment continued to show superior efficacy to monotherapy over three years, even after adjustment for withdrawals. There were no additional safety concerns. More...
