The Less Pain Tummy Tuck Procedure:

The great part about a tumescent tummy tuck procedure is it is generally endoscopic in nature. Endoscopic surgeries make use of devices called endoscopic cameras in order to perform the surgery procedure.

A tumescent tummy tuck surgery, usually carried out in conjunction with a mini abdominoplasty, is a technique that minimizes blood loss and operative pain. The technique is similar to a regular abdominoplasty with a variation in the choice and size of incisions made by the surgeon.

This cosmetic surgery can be carried out in two-three hours and does not require the patient to be admitted into the hospital. Deriving its name from the type of anesthesia that is used on the patient, tumescent abdominoplasty does not require the use of any general anesthesia. The Tumescent anesthetic contains a mixture of anesthetic, adrenaline and saline which is introduced into the abdominal area during the initial part of the tummy tuck surgery. Women who have lately delivered find this a very comfortable cosmetic procedure as it does not add too much discomfort to their post-pregnancy state. Top plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California recommend the tumescent tummy tuck for those patients who prefer a less painful and complex abdominoplasty procedure. You can get an appointment at any of our Californian offices.
