It’s Lipo Time!

Filed under: Surgery — @ 6:45 pm

It’s that time of year again - the holidays seem to have an annoying habit of adding unwanted pockets of fat on people with even the most flattering figures.
So what is hot this year? Apparently a special procedure known as a super-wet liposuction. OK, we don’t like the name either (it makes it sound as gross as it actually is), so we’ll call it by it’s real name - tumescent liposuction.
Here’s how it works - the doctor injects a saline solution (which usually contains a local anesthetic) and performs the procedure. It is fast, outpatient body sculpting surgery. Of course, we usually advocate working out (with a little help) and this is no exception - lipo should only be used for people who have done what they can but want to get rid of specific stubborn fat pockets.
