Body Contouring

Tumescent Liposuction performed by Dr. Susan Murrmann- Liposuction is a surgical technique that improves the body's contour by removing excess fat from fatty deposits located between the skin and muscle. The Tumescent technique of liposuction was developed in 1985, and involves the use of large volumes of a dilute solution of lidocaine (a local anesthetic) in combination with the vasoconstrictive drug, epinephrine, that shrinks capillaries. With the Tumescent technique, infiltrating the local anesthesia is associated with minimal discomfort. Once the area has been completely numbed, surgery in that area is essentially painless. In addition, because the numbness remains in the treated area for more than 12 hours, there is minimal discomfort immediately after surgery.

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical injection technique with a broad range of applications. Mesotherapy promotes the body's circulatory, lymphatic, and immune system to create a biological response. Mesotherapy involves the injection of a customized mixture of vitamins, amino acids, and medications, placed just millimeters into the skin.  At McDonald Murrmann Center for Skin and Laser, mesotherapy is used for cosmetic purposes such as reduction of specific areas of fat not overall weight loss. Several treatments are required depending on amount of reduction desired.
