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.

Korea tumescent liposuction - News update:

Context  Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy has been used for patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma tumors, but the survival benefits of combined treatment are not known.

Objective  To compare rates of survival of patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma tumors who received treatment with TACE combined with RFA therapy (TACE-RFA), TACE alone, and RFA alone.

Design, Setting, and Patients  Randomized controlled trial conducted from January 2001 to May 2004 among 291 consecutive patients with hepatocellular carcinoma larger than 3 cm at a single center in China.

Intervention  Patients were randomly assigned to treatment with combined TACE-RFA (n = 96), TACE alone (n = 95), or RFA alone (n = 100).

Main Outcome Measures  The primary end point was survival and the secondary end point was objective response rate.

Results  During a median 28.5 months of follow-up, median survival times were 24 months in the TACE group (3.4 courses), 22 months in the RFA group (3.6 courses), and 37 months in the TACE-RFA group (4.4 courses). Patients treated with TACE-RFA had better overall survival than those treated with TACE alone (hazard ratio [HR], 1.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33-2.63; P < .001) or RFA (HR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.34-2.65; P < .001). In a preplanned substratification analysis, survival was also better in the TACE-RFA group than in the RFA group for patients with uninodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HR, 2.50; 95% CI, 1.42-4.42; P = .001) and in the TACE-RFA group than the TACE group for patients with multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.31-3.00; P < .001). The rate of objective response sustained for at least 6 months was higher in the TACE-RFA group (54%) than with either TACE (35%; rate difference, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.06-0.33; P = .009) or RFA (36%; rate difference, 0.18; 95% CI, 0.05-0.32; P = .01) treatment alone.

Conclusion  In this patient group, TACE-RFA was superior to TACE alone or RFA alone in improving survival for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma larger than 3 cm.

Trial Registration  clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00479050

South Korea Get in

The nationals of 99 countries, including all the usual suspects, will receive a visa on arrival valid for 30 to 90 days. Rules for visiting only Jeju are even more lenient, allowing in everybody except citizens of 18 countries (notably including China and India). See the Immigration Bureau [2] for the latest details. Don't overstay, even by a single day — this incurs heavy fines and possible jail time, and you'll probably be banned from re-entering.
