Board-certified surgical dermatologist Dr. Steven Rotter performs tumescent liposuction with expertise shaped by over 45,000 surgeries. As a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon from the University of Pennsylvania and former Chief Resident in Dermatology at Johns Hopkins Hospital, he applies decades of experience performing surgical and cosmetic services to help patients achieve refined, lasting results.
Tumescent Liposuction vs. Traditional Liposuction
Older forms of liposuction involved general anesthesia and longer healing times. In contrast, tumescent liposuction uses a fluid mixture of local anesthetic, saline, and epinephrine. This makes fat removal safer, smoother, and more comfortable for you.
Here are the standout advantages of tumescent liposuction:
- No general anesthesia: You stay awake and relaxed throughout your procedure.
- Less bleeding and bruising: The fluid solution constricts blood vessels for cleaner results.
- Minimal scarring: Smaller incisions mean subtle entry points and faster healing.
- Faster recovery: Many patients resume light activity in just a few days.
Compared to traditional liposuction, this approach is significantly more comfortable and easier on your body.
Why It’s Different From CoolSculpting and Other Body Contouring Fads
Non-invasive treatments like CoolSculpting can help reduce small fat pockets, but results may take several sessions to become apparent. While those options suit some patients, others prefer more immediate and predictable changes.
Tumescent liposuction provides surgical-level fat removal without the typical drawbacks of older methods:
- Direct fat removal: Fat is physically removed, not broken down gradually.
- More control: Dr. Rotter precisely sculpts each area for smooth, even contours.
- Lasting results: Once removed, fat cells do not regenerate in the treated area.
That said, many patients still choose to combine surgical and noninvasive treatments to achieve their goals. Dr. Rotter will discuss what works best based on your unique needs.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
This advanced approach can be used on many parts of the body where fat tends to linger, including:
- Neck and jawline: Refine your profile with precision.
- Arms and bra area: Smooth the spots that sleeveless clothes highlight.
- Abdomen and flanks: Reduce belly fat and love handles in one session.
- Thighs and knees: Shape your legs with finesse.
With Dr. Rotter’s expertise, each procedure is tailored to achieve natural-looking, symmetrical results.
