“tumescent technique” since 1997. He offers tumescent liposuction at his Pasadena, California, practice for patients across Los Angeles. He also offers liposuction with fat transfer (fat injections) for patients looking to return fullness to the face.

Liposuction is done so as to sculpt areas of the body, face and neck. I use the new SmartLipo™ laser liposuction technique which is a thin laser fiber that can be moved under the skin to facilitate fat removal, tighten skin, and aid in fine sculpting of small areas. This is a useful adjunct to standard liposuctioning techniques. Our SmartLipo™ technique can also be used in conjunction with a tummy tuck to improve the final results.

During tumescent liposuction, which can be performed on both males and females alike, the patient is lightly sedated but awake and extremely comfortable. A dilute solution of anesthetic fluid is injected into the area to be treated, numbing the area and preventing bleeding. Dr. Schwartz then gently suctions excess fat from the region. There is very little pain involved during tumescent liposuction and, due to the lasting effect of the anesthetic solution, very little post-operative pain. Most patients require minimal pain medication following their liposuction procedure

With tumescent liposuction, our Pasadena and Los Angeles patients are able to walk out of their procedure with no side effects from general anesthesia and resume their normal activities within days of treatment. In fact, most liposuction patients can resume normal walking the day of the procedure.
