Tumescent Liposuction and Cool Lipo Assisted Lipolysis
"I'm tired of my turkey neck"
"My arms keep waving after I say goodbye"
"My clothes don't fit right"
"I exercise all the time yet I can't get rid of my belly fat"
"I had a C-section and the scar looks bad with the fat"
Do these complaints sound familiar? They do to us. We have heard from many people that they are frustrated with the difficulty in looking and feeling good. In order to help you, Dr. George Davis has a solution to difficult and unwanted fat. He has trained with some of the leading physicians in the country to offer a solution to stubborn fat removal. Utilizing a procedure known as tumescent technique, fat can be removed in a matter of hours with minimal downtime and discomfort.
You have heard the stories of liposuction in the past being painful, discomforting and dangerous. Most of those patients had traditional liposuction in an operating room. In the late 1980’s, Dr. Jeffrey Klein, a dermatologist in California developed the tumescent technique which utilizes local anesthesia to numb the area being treated. Throughout the years, this technique has been refined to the current method which is now touted as the safest form of liposuction.

Dr. Davis utilizes the tumescent technique, as well as Cool Lipo (laser lipolysis) to perform Liposculpture. Most of our patients can actually drive themselves to and from the procedure after the area being treated is numbed with the local anesthesia. Typically most patients can return to work after a couple of days off. We have had a few patients actually return to work the next day!
If you are frustrated by the stubborn fat pockets, come to our center for a complimentary consultation to see if you are a candidate for Liposculpture. Also if you are considering liposuction with a tummy tuck, come to see us first as many of our patients who were told they would need a tummy tuck actually did not and had great results with no scarring.
