Tumescent Liposuction in Minneapolis

The Tumescent technique is considered the worldwide safest and best choice for performing all liposuction and laser Liposculpture procedures. Because it does not require general anesthesia, Tumescent Liposuction and Laser Liposculpture is devoid of the risks associated with general and regional anesthesia, and can be performed using only local anesthesia.

With the tumescent technique, a large volume of dilute local anesthetic (lidocaine) and a capillary constrictor (epinephrine) is injected into the treatment area, which causes the injected fat tissue to become swollen and firm, or in other words, tumescent. Since the tumescent technique completely numbs the treatment area, the need for general anesthesia is eliminated. In addition to providing local anesthesia, the tumescent technique constricts capillaries, prevents surgical blood loss, and provides fluid to the body so that IV fluids are not needed.

The tumescent liposuction technique was invented in 1985 by Dr. Jeffery Klein. Dr. Klein first presented the tumescent technique at a scientific meeting in 1986, and first published it in 1987 (JA Klein. The Tumescent Technique for Liposuction Surgery. Journal of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, Volume 4, Pages 263-267, 1987). Dr. Hogue is grateful to have been able to receive his training in tumescent liposuction from Dr. Klein at the Klein Surgical Center in San Juan Capistrano, CA.
