Tumescent Liposuction: A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure to remove fat. Liposuction may be performed either under general anaesthesia or under local anaesthesia. The procedure has been reported to be associated with significant morbidity and risk of mortality under general anaesthesia. Since the first description by Jeffrey Klein, dermatologic surgeons have made significant contributions in this field, and tumescent liposuction using microcannuale under local anaesthesia, is regarded as safe and effective. The author has performed over 200 liposuctions in the last four years in India and this article describes the procedure of microcannular tumescent liposuction in the light of her experience.

Estimated Maximal Safe Dosages of Tumescent Lidocaine
BACKGROUND Tumescent lidocaine anesthesia consists of subcutaneous injection of relatively large volumes (up to 4 L or more) of dilute lidocaine (≤1 g/L) and epinephrine (≤1 mg/L). Although tumescent lidocaine anesthesia is used for an increasing variety of surgical procedures, the maximum safe dosage is unknown. Our primary aim in this study was to measure serum lidocaine concentrations after ...

BACKGROUND Liposuction has become a major therapeutic tool for body sculpting by dermatologic surgeons. To date, breast augmentation has been the only effective tool for breast enlargement. OBJECTIVE To review retrospectively records of patients who have undergone traditional tumescent liposuction to determine whether breast size is commonly affected by liposuction of other body areas.

متن کاملTumescent liposuction in Germany: history and new trends and techniques.
Due to the developments and changes of tumescent solution, infiltration technique, and cannulas, we perform tumescent liposuction today using up to 6-8 l tumescent solution. Total aspirate measures up to 9 l, pure fat aspired up to 5 l. Tumescent liposuction of extended areas can still be done as an outpatient procedure. The condition of patients intra- and postoperatively as well as results ha...
متن کاملThe tumescent technique. Anesthesia and modified liposuction technique.
Using the tumescent technique, liposuction can remove large volumes of fat with minimal blood loss. A maximal safe dosage of dilute lidocaine using the tumescent technique is estimated to be 35 mg/kg. The slow infiltration of a local anesthetic solution of lidocaine and epinephrine minimizes the rate of systemic absorption and reduces the potential for toxicity. Dilution of lidocaine (0.05% of ...
متن کاملTumescent Liposuction without Lidocaine
BACKGROUND Our previous study demonstrated that lidocaine has a negative impact on adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) survival. Currently for large-volume liposuction, patients often undergo general anesthesia; therefore, lidocaine subcutaneous anesthesia is nonessential. We hypothesized that removing lidocaine from tumescent might improve stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and ASC survival from the ...
