title: The "standard technique" of liposuction. Viewpoint from a plastic surgeon.
abstract: So, do I recommend the tumescent technique to accomplish liposuction contouring? You bet. Is it the "standard technique"? Not yet, but it probably will become so as it is better known and safety issues are addressed. The tumescent technique also offers a variety of possibilities for research and application for other areas.
