Tumescent Liposuction: Spring Hill, Tampa Bay, Florida

In the past, plastic surgeons would perform liposuction on an area by removing fat through a device called a cannulla without first injecting any fluid into the area. This resulted in a lot of bruising and at times significant blood loss. Today this method is rarely if ever used. Now we inject a fluid called tumescent solution to keep blood loss to a minimum and improve patient safety.

I use the safety of tumescent liposuction and combine it with the latest advances in ultrasonic liposuction for in my opinion the best liposuction results possible. Patients tend to have very little bruising or discomfort and the ultrasonic method is thought to help improve the overall shape after liposuction. Have a look at the Photo Gallery section for pictures of prior Tampa Bay, Florida women and men who have had tumescent liposuction.

Ultrasonic liposuction is a newer method of liposuction I have been using for my Tampa area patients. The probe used to suction the tissue moves rapidly at the tip and creates a vibration. This vibration/energy created is thought to cause the fat to implode but leave the surrounding supporting tissue behind. The supporting tissue helps with overall contour and elasticity of the skin and leaves less contour irregularity sometimes associated with traditional liposuction.

I find that a combination of tumescent liposuction and ultrasonic liposuction seems to provide the best results in my hands. In fact, I have a number of ultrasonic liposuction patients that are amazed at their results especially if they have had liposuction in the past.
Have a look at the Photo Gallery section for examples of the kind of results that can be obtained using my techniques .
