The Safest Liposuction Technique Available
Total tumescent liposuction is performed using locally administered anesthesia containing dilute concentrations of lidocaine, bicarbonate, and epinephrine. Once the fat space is completely numbed or anesthetized, liposuction is then painlessly performed. With over 500,000 total tumescent liposuction procedures done in the US without a reported patient death while using less than 55 mg/kg Lidocaine, this technique is the safest of all liposuction techniques. At Hogue Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Hogue, infiltrates the fat space with tumescent local anesthesia fluid using ultrasound guidance when necessary to provide additional precision and patient safety. Neither general anesthesia, nor regional anesthesia, nor intravenous sedation are used during total tumescent liposuction. In fact, an intravenous line is not needed. Patients are given prescriptions to fill before liposculpting surgery which include oral antibiotics, oral Vitamin-K, and oral sedative (Ativan). At Hogue Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Hogue performs total tumescent liposuction using an assortment of liposculpting technologies specifically tailored to achieve the best results for his liposculpting patients. These tumescent liposculpting technologies include VASER Liposelection, Power-assisted Liposuction, Manual Microcannular Liposuction, and Laser-assisted Lipolysis. To achieve skin tightening, to treat stretch marks & cellulite, and to eliminate unwanted axillary sweating, Dr. Hogue uses innovative technologies including subdermal laser ablation and fractional skin resurfacing, To date, all of our tumescent liposuction patients have chosen to have laser lipolysis in conjunction with their tumescent liposuction to achieve tissue tightening and subdermal smoothing of the fat space since skin laxity following traditional liiposuction still remains a postoperative concern.
