Adjuncts to Liposuction

- Ultrasound assisted
- Water assisted
Fat transfer
Fat is harvested and transfer can be performed with liposuction and injection techniques. Liposuction is used to harvest the fat for transfer in a sterile fashion. This harvested fat is then processed and injected into the desired areas. Common areas where fat can be transferred include;- Face
- Breast

Reviews
If you’re looking for a surgeon who is honest, has impeccable attention to detail, and very skilled, Dr. Parikh is your surgeon. He performed a breast implant replacement and breast lift, along with liposuction on my abdomen area. I’m very excited about the results. I didn’t have one second of anxiety or concern. He listened to my to all of my questions and desired outcomes. I was at ease the moment I chose him as my surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone, and I would definitely go to him again. He’s a class act.L.D.
Tumescence
The fluid that is infiltrated in the fat prior to liposuction. It allows for anesthesia and vasoconstriction (reduces blood loss) during liposuction. It allows for liposuction to be performed in the awake individual. Tumescence is made of;- Anesthetic for pain control = Lidocaine
- Fluid = Normal Saline (NS) or Lactated Ringer’s (LR) Solution
- Vasoconstriction drug = Epinephrine or Adrenaline
Candidates for Liposuction
Candidates are relatively healthy. You should have good skin elasticity or recoil. After liposuction the skin recoil takes time to occur and the final results are usually not seen for months. If your skin elasticity is poor or there is poor recoil of the skin your results from liposuction may not be as dramatic or aesthetic in appearance. This is something that Dr. Parikh will figure out for you during consultation. Liposuction should be used in areas that do not respond to weight loss and exercise.Direct Liposuction Complications
