Tumescent liposuction is a technique in which large amounts of a solution, made up of a local anesthetic, a vasoconstrictor, and saline, are injected under the skin before a tube called a cannula is inserted to suck out the excess fat. As the cannula is moved back and forth by the surgeon, the injected solution causes the areas of excess fat to become swollen and firm, and creates gaps between the fat deposits and muscle tissue.
