About the Procedure
What Is Tumescent Liposuction?
Tumescent liposuction is a technique in which a large volume of dilute local anesthetic (lidocaine with epinephrine) is injected into the fatty tissue before removal. The solution causes the fat to become "tumescent" (firm and swollen), which makes it easier to remove precisely while dramatically reducing bleeding, bruising, and post-operative pain.
This approach allows Dr. Rotter to perform liposuction safely in an office setting under local anesthesia — avoiding the risks of general anesthesia, reducing recovery time, and delivering exceptional contour results.
