When diet and exercise alone are not producing the results that you desire, you may consider liposuction to eliminate pockets of fat in stubborn areas. Liposuction is a very popular procedure that is designed for the permanent removal of fatty tissue that is out of proportion to the rest of the body. Dr. Boyd performs liposuction using the pure Tumescent, no incision, microcannular technique. A special solution is used to provide local anesthesia to the area being targeted. Next, micro-suction cannulas no bigger than a pencil lead are introduced through 1.5-millimeter sites called adits. These small cannulas allow for smoother results while minimizing trauma to the tissues. The local anesthesia solution minimizes bleeding and greatly reduces the risk and recovery associated with traditional liposuction. Tumescent liposuction is widely regarded as the safest form of liposuction.
Patients are amazed to find they can talk on their cell phones or listen to music while the procedure is being performed and with this technique most patients are back to work in a day or two with only Tylenol needed for postoperative discomfort.
If you have a troublesome area that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, contact us for your no cost consultation to see if Tumescent liposuction is right for you.
