Tumescent Liposuction Technique
Dr. Finder was one of the first doctors to perfect the tumescent liposuction technique in the San Antonio area. Performed with only local anesthesia, tumescent liposuction is incredibly safe, and eliminates the risks associated with general anesthesia or IV sedation.
All liposuction procedures place fluid into the fat layer in preparation for its removal through a small cannula. In tumescent liposuction, the fluid infused into the tissues contains the anesthesia, numbing the area so you’re comfortable but awake through the procedure. Some patients desire a mild oral or intramuscular relaxation or pain medication for any anxiety, which is perfectly normal.
The procedure itself does not remove all the fat cells in your treatment area because it’s not possible to do so, nor is it desirable to have zero fat layer to cushion the body. Dr. Finder suctions the fat and some of the tumescent fluid while contouring your new shape according to her artistic eye and more than 20 years’ experience performing tumescent liposuction. Sutures are not required and the tiny incisions will heal normally, during which time the remaining fluid is allowed to drain. This is one more reason tumescent liposuction is safer. Trapped fluid poses a greater risk for infection and can cause greater bruising and swelling. Allowed to drain, the fluid acts as a natural flush for any inadvertent bacteria transfer during the procedure.

Cost of Tumescent Liposuction
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of liposuction in the US is $3,374, though this varies widely with the type of procedure used, anesthesia and operating room fees, and any surgical center fees. RealSelf.com reports the range of cost to be between $1,600 and $10,225, depending on location, physician skill and experience, area of treatment, and other fees.
