Tumescent liposuction
The operation is performed when the client is fully conscious, without general anaesthesia. About one hour prior to the operation, the patient is injected with a solution containing local anaesthetic and adrenalin; the solution causes the contraction of blood vessels so minimising bleeding. The solution dilutes the fat and makes it easier to extract larger quantities, whilst using much smaller tubes and incisions.
Preparation:
The operation does not require much special preparation; nothing is to be eaten or drunk, and there is no smoking from midnight on the day of the operation. Hair must be shaven before abdominal liposuction. Caution must be exercised with lymphatic system disorders.
Operation:
Operations affecting smaller areas are performed under local anaesthesia, bigger areas require general anaesthesia.
Post-operative procedures:
If drains are inserted during the course of the operation, they will be removed after 24 to 48 hours. Stitches are taken out after 7 to 10 days. In the course of the operation, special flexible liposuction underwear is put on, which must be worn for 5 to 7 days. Then it can be taken off, washed and put on again. It is necessary to wear it in the prescribed way for at least a month or longer depending on the extent of the operation. After one month, it is no longer necessary to wear the special underwear at night. It is necessary to wear flexible dressings for a period of 6 to 8 weeks. The final effect of the operation can become evident as much as several months later.
