Over the past decade the practice of liposuction as a surgical procedure has risen in prominence for patients and doctors. The newest procedure, known as tumescent liposculpture – allows Dr. Lyos to remove large volumes of fat in an outpatient procedure. During tumescent liposculpture, the surgeon injects the area with a special solution causing the fatty tissue to tumesce or swell up. The injected solution contains a local anesthetic that numbs the area being treated and temporarily shrinks blood vessels, minimizing blood loss and lessening bruising and swelling. This is a fantastic option for tummy tuck patients who desire to obtain the body they’ve always dreamed of. If a slimmer waste, and flat stomach is what you’re looking for, then Dr. Lyos and his tumescent liposculpture are the right options for you.
