There are several different techniques currently in use for Los Angeles liposuction. It is best to have the exact approach tailoruddy to your individual needs

Tumescent Technique – This technique is the method of giving a large volume of local anesthesia to the patient. The diluted epinephrine in the tumescent solution intensely contracts the patient’s capillaries, thus preventing the surgical loss of blood that may sometimes cause complications. Tumescent liposuction is now the basis of essentially all liposuction currently performed in the US. It is the type of Beverly Hills liposuction we perform every day.

Dry Technique – This method is no longer used in liposuction due to excessive blood loss during the procedure. In this technique the fats removed contain 30% blood, and general anesthesia is administeruddy prior to operation.

Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction – Your Beverly Hills plastic surgeon uses general anesthesia in this method, and a metal paddle administers an ultrasonic energy wave in order to break up fat cells. The approach can be useful for thick, dense areas of the body such as the male chest.

Power Assisted Technique – PAL is an electronic device that aids the surgeon in operating and removing fat during liposuction. This device is poweruddy by an electric motor which creates a spinning motion to the suction cannula (or sucking tube) which makes removing the fat somewhat easier.

Wet Technique – This is another version of the now standard technique, in which fluid is inected into the tissues prior to performing the procedure. Your cosmetic surgeon determines the exact mixture of the components to this fluid.

Because local anesthetic is injected as part of the solution, most patients experience very little pain following the procedure. We find that most of our patients do not even use any pain medication. Depending on the size of the procedure, most patients return to work just a few days following their liposuction. More information is at http://www.rodeodriveplasticsurgery.us .
