Abstract

CAHUANA SALINAS, E.R.; SOLIS GONZALES, M.; CACERES CANALES, L.  and  SEMINARIO VALLE, F.. Non tumescent liposculpture. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2006, vol.32, n.1, pp.26-31. ISSN 1989-2055.

In this work, due to the serious questions that we have with the “dogma” of “Tumescencia” as a requirement to make the conventional liposuction, we suggest as an alternative a new technique named by us “non tumescent liposcultpture”, based in two principles: 1) use of solution 2A, 2) suprafascial infiltration. Our work is prospective and it is the result of 18 months observation, analysis and development of a hypothesis that has finally confirmed our suspicions: very important reduction of the risks of a liposculture, aesthetic results of better quality and the conviction about how unnecessary and not very rational “tumescencia” can be in the liposculture; therefore we believe that its validity is seriously questioned now, however we should recognize the importance that it had as long as there were not serious questions nor a reasonable alternative.

Keywords : Liposuction; Lipoesculpture; Tumescent technique.
