Tumescent Micro-Liposuction is a gentle, advanced fat removal technique designed to reshape areas resistant to diet and exercise. As we age, body fat tends to accumulate in genetically predetermined areas—like the abdomen, hips, neck, and flanks—making it difficult to slim down naturally. This procedure targets and removes that stubborn fat with precision and minimal trauma.
This procedure is especially effective in treating:
Abdomen and love handles (especially after pregnancy)
Lower belly bulge
Neck and jowls
Hips, thighs, and flanks
Loose or sagging skin in targeted areas
The technique not only removes fat but also tightens the skin, improving how you look and feel in your clothes and swimwear.
Once the fat is removed, it’s gone for good. Adults do not grow new fat cells, which means your improved silhouette is permanent—provided you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Most patients experience a minimum 50% improvement, with many seeing up to 70–80% in the treated areas.
Thanks to tumescent anesthesia, patients experience:
Reduced bruising and inflammation
Minimal post-op pain
Faster healing and return to daily activity
In fact, many patients are able to return to jogging, light workouts, or work within a couple of days. Everyone’s healing is different, but most are pleasantly surprised by how quickly they bounce back.
Whether you’re treating small or large areas, Tumescent Micro-Liposuction allows for detailed body sculpting. The technique ensures smoother, more natural-looking results without the visible scarring or extensive downtime of traditional liposuction.
SmartLipo™ (also called laser lipo) is a more advanced alternative to traditional lipo. It uses local anesthesia rather than general, allowing patients to stay awake and avoid the risks of sedation. With smaller tools (micro-cannulas), patients experience less bruising, less soreness, and significantly shorter recovery—typically 1–2 days. Traditional lipo, on the other hand, often requires larger tools, more downtime, and can involve more bleeding and bruising.
Tumescent anesthesia is a technique that uses a diluted solution of lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and epinephrine to numb and firm the treatment area. This method minimizes bleeding, reduces pain, and eliminates the need for general anesthesia. It also helps the fat come out more smoothly and safely—making it one of the safest ways to perform liposuction.
Very little. Thanks to epinephrine in the tumescent solution and the cauterizing power of the SmartLipo™ laser, patients lose as little as three teaspoons of blood. Most see minimal bruising and are surprised at how quickly swelling fades—often returning to light activity within days.
Infection risk is extremely low. Lidocaine, used in tumescent anesthesia, is antibacterial, and the procedure itself is performed with sterile technique. At our center, we’ve performed thousands of procedures over the past decade with zero post-op infections thanks to these layered protections.
Micro-liposuction uses ultra-thin cannulas—no thicker than a thermometer—to gently remove fat through openings smaller than a grain of rice. This precision helps sculpt your shape without damaging surrounding tissue. These tiny entry points don’t require stitches and leave little to no visible scarring.
