Vaser Liposuction
Benefits of Tumescent Liposuction & Body Contouring by Dominick Agnes
I am sure you have been reading the various forms of liposuction in Atlanta and more than likely feel confusion. Let’s talk specifically about tumescent liposuction which has fast become the most requested liposuction of all because it is safer, smarter and better for the patient.
Tumescent means “to swell” and describes how the surgeon fills, swells and numbs the fatty area to be removed with a special solution containing local anesthetic.
For the patient, this means no general anesthesia or intravenous sedation is necessary. As an anesthesiologist for 16 years prior to cosmetic surgery, my feeling is anytime a patient can forego general anesthesia, it is safer and better for that patient.
The second benefit to tumescent liposuction is you are awake during the procedure. That means you can talk with me and shift the position of your body to target problem areas more effectively and multiple areas in one session.
Unlike traditional liposuction, there is minimal bruising with no need for strong pain medication.
To make the very best medically informed choice, I am expertly trained utilizing all the current liposuction devices and procedures on the market including Smart Lipo, Vaser, Aqua Lipo, Zerona, etc.
The syringe technique created by Dr. Fournier combined with tumescent anesthesia developed by Dr. Klein enhances my talent while offering incomparable benefits to my patients, the most important of which are:
No chance of burning the patient
Safer removal of large volumes of fat in one session
Amazing skin retraction that completely diminishes the need for Tummy Tucks in most patients
More precise body contouring and body sculpting to give you that ultimate curvature of the body.
Having seen the complications from other traditional forms of liposuction, today my surgical practice is focused solely on tumescent liposuction.
While this procedure takes more of my time to perform and sculpt, it is far less taxing on your body and the results produced are vastly superior to other traditional forms.
Small, straw-like tubes called cannulas that are connected to a large bulb syringe remove the fatty deposits. These delicate instruments allow targeting of very specific areas with greater accuracy and sculpting.
Many words are used today that define the surgeon’s ability to artistically sculpt the body into a new shape – such as body sculpture, body contouring and Liposculpture.
All simply mean the surgeon’s artistry in removing unwanted fat and sculpting the area for the shapely look you’ve always wanted.
There are many benefits to tumescent liposuction including:
No sutures required
A very quick return to normal activities
No heavy sedation or general anesthesia
Safely done in office procedure
Enhanced and superior Atlanta Lipopsuction with body contouring (liposculpture)
Permanent fat removal
Delicate instruments that minimize bruising
