California Tumescent Liposuction

When people envision liposuction as a vacuum cleaner-like device sucking the fat out of the body, their conceptualization is only partly accurate. Liposuction does, as the name intimates, utilize a suction mechanism that draws stored fat cells out of the skin. However, the scale on which liposuction works is a lot smaller than many people imagine.

Dr. Steven A. Burres and his staff use a modern liposuction technique called tumescent liposuction. While the liposuction of years past involved heavy anesthesia and large suction devices, tumescent liposuction is more controlled and wreaks less stress on the body. Local anesthetic can be used, and tiny tubes remove fat in a controlled and accurate fashion.

The benefits of this technique are many. Surgeons are better able to maneuver the liposuction devices, allowing greater control over the shaping of the area that is being liposuctioned. Patients experience less discomfort, have quicker recoveries, and are on the whole very happy with the results of their surgeries.
