How does the anesthesia work?

How does the anesthesia work? - Dr. med. Daniel Münch

Liposuction is ideally conducted under local anesthetic. Before the actual suction phase, the anesthetic fluid, preheated to body temperature is introduced into the treatment targeted fat layer beneath the skin using a very fine infiltration cannula. Depending on the situation, the power of the pulsing, fan-shaped spray emitted from the cannula tip varies. This guarantees a tissue-protecting process, generally with minimal pain.

The anesthetic fluid contains an immediately effective local anesthesia (50ml lidocaine per liter), a anesthetic with long term effectiveness (10ml naropin per liter) as well as a vasoconstrictive drug (1ml adrenalin per liter), which both inhibits bleeding and prevents the fluid from unnecessarily entering the body. Added to this is bicarbonate to neutralize as well as cortisone as an anti-inflammatory drug.
