Tumescent Liposuction for Body Fat Removal in Houston
Tumescent Liposuction, or Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL), is the type of liposuction Dr. Hennessy performed. This type of liposuction is performed using a long, skinny wand called a cannula which uses tiny, super fast vibrations to break up the stubborn fat cells, which are then suctioned out of the body. This is a fairly new technique and one that is more comfortable for the patient. Tumescent Liposuction is performed with a targeted local anesthetic, rather than general anesthesia.
Tumescent Liposuction has less infection risk and less blood loss than traditional liposuction. There is also a much shorter recovery time with tumescent liposuction than traditional liposuction (some patients can get back to work within 48 hours).
