PureLipo is a tumescent liposuction procedure, which is less invasive than traditional liposuction. To be considered a candidate for the procedure, you must be in general good health with sufficient skin elasticity.
This procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure. The treatment areas will be injected with a solution containing saline, epinephrine and local anesthetic. The saline helps to separate the fat from the cells, while the epinephrine alleviates bruising and bleeding.
Your doctor will make a small incision and insert a small cannula into the treatment area. PureLipo can be used to treat areas on the abdomen, back, neck, face, buttocks, breasts and thighs.
