What is the history of the tumescent technique and Dr. Frank’s experience?
Liposuction was initially developed in 1978 in Italy and France, and introduced into the United States in 1982. Developed in the late 1980’s, the tumescent technique has proven to be safer than the older techniques that required general anesthesia, it has also proven to be less painful, has minimized post-operative recovery time, and has produced optimal cosmetic results. Dr. Frank has been performing the technique for 10 years and performs over 300 procedures each year. Tumescent Liposuction is his area of expertise as he dedicates the majority of his practice to it.
