About
When the tumescent technique is used in the liposuction of your neck and chin, the areas of fat are injected with an anesthetic which causes the fat to become swollen or “tumesced”. The resulting expanded molecules make the fat particles easier to remove. You will begin to notice the difference in your new look almost immediately after surgery.
The tumescent method of neck reconstruction results in less post-operative bruising, swelling, and pain than other methods. A significant improvement in your appearance is apparent within 3 weeks of your surgery when most of the swelling has subsided.
