Safety & Recovery: Tumescent liposuction involves the administration of dilute local anesthetic with adrenaline to limit blood loss and swell the fat tissue. True tumescent lipo uses only local anesthesia.Tumescent liposuction is safer because it doesnt require general anesthesia, there is less blood loss and there is a more rapid recovery.
