True tumescent liposuction is safe, easy and permanent. It is rare for
one of Dr. Hooker's patients to not be thrilled with their new shape. In
fact, this procedure is the most popular cosmetic surgery in the Untied
States. In addition to giving you a new look and a better mental outlook, the
removal of fat improves your health. A recent study has revealed that
diabetics may require less insulin following liposuction.
At the beginning of the liposuction, you may feel a little pricking and
stinging for 30 seconds. As Dr. Hooker continues to numb the fat, most
patients laugh and talk since you feel almost no pain. The numbing fluid
contains epinephrine that results in almost no bleeding. The area stays numb
until the next day.
Several tiny nicks less than one-eighth inch in length are then made in the
skin. Tiny blunt instruments about the size of a miniature drinking straw are
used to remove the fat. During the sculpturing, you again feel almost no
pain. Since the liposuction instruments are rounded on the end, there is
absolutely no cutting during the procedure.
Following the true tumescent liposuction, you will wear a comfortable,
body stocking type, stretchy garment for several days. You will have soreness
similar to muscle soreness following too much physical exercise. You may
return to work in just two days. Dr. Hooker uses no general anesthesia or
sedation, so you feel great when you leave the clinic.
