FAT REDUCTION OR LIPOSUCTION http://whiteink.in/treatment-Liposuction--For-Fat-Reduction--13 How is the ‘tumescent liposuction’ procedure performed? The word “tumescent” means swollen and firm. In the tumescent technique, tiny access points (2-3 mm) are through which the dilute anaesthetic solution is infiltrated into the fat beneath the skin, causing the targeted area to become tumescent. The fat is then aspirated using a fine canula by smooth controlled movements.
