FAQ

Things to know

What is Tumescent Liposuction?

Tumescent Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body’s contour by removing excess fat deposits located between the skin and the muscle. To perform liposuction, a small stainless steel tube called a cannula is used. The cannula is attached to a powerful suction pump that safely removes fat deposits through small incisions on the skin.

“Before we begin Tumescent Liposuction, we want to make sure that you are a good candidate.”

Any patient who is likely to be happy with the results of Tumescent Liposuction, has realistic expectations, and who is in relatively good health is a good candidate. Tumescent Liposuction is unlikely to achieve perfection, but can provide significant improvement to any area of concern.

Our staff will guide you through the steps of selecting a surgery date, choosing financing options, information on recovery, and collecting your pharmacy information.

Fill out all paperwork. Consultation with Dr. Long to address all questions and to discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives. Dr. Long will spend time talking with you to make sure you know all of the details of the surgery before surgery begins.
