Tumescent liposuction is our go-to procedure for minimally invasive liposuction in Baltimore. It reduces fat in areas of the body by making small incisions and delivering a potent solution called, Klein’s solution into the fat. Klein’s solution contains lidocaine and epinephrine in a diluted saline solution. The saline expands the fat, epinephrine narrows blood vessels to minimize bleeding, and lidocaine numbs the area. You can expect this part of the procedure to take between 45 and 60 minutes. The process of detumescence, where fluid percolates evenly across all layers, takes another 30 minutes. Then, we remove fat through small microcannulas that are 1.5 to 3 mm wide. Once we’ve completed liposuction, we bandage the small wounds created by the cannulas and dress our patients with a customized compression garment. The patient can then go home without needing to stay in the hospital.
Remove Fat with Tumescent Liposuction
What if you could have fat pockets eliminated while you were awake, with just a painkiller and no need for an overnight hospital stay? Well then, we have some wonderful news for you! Tumescent liposuction is an innovative, safe, and painless liposuction procedure where the patient is completely awake under local anesthesia. It is a highly effective way to remove unwanted fat. And then we can either discard or harvest the fat for transfer to another part of the body for contouring. Minimally Invasive Liposuction in Baltimore treats these concerns:

Follow-Up
We perform our lipo procedures on the weekend, at your convenience to avoid downtime from work but we do require a brief follow-up where we massage the targeted area.

You will have local anesthesia when you have minimally invasive liposuction in Baltimore. This means you will experience minimal to no pain during or for some time after the procedure.
When preparing for your liposuction treatment, avoid smoking two weeks prior to the surgery because it delays healing. You should also avoid ingesting any NSAIDs like ibuprofen for at least one week prior to the appointment. They can cause bruising or bleeding.
You should only need one session of minimally invasive liposuction per area.
You should be able to see the results from the liposuction a few weeks after the procedure when the swelling goes down.
