Neck liposuction in local anesthesia is a minimally invasive technique for fat reduction and skin tightening. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical safety of reciprocating power assisted liposuction (PAL) of the neck. Neck liposuction with PAL was performed on 104 consecutive patients (male = 39, female = 65), and the occurrence of side effects were noted. There were no hematomas and no marginal mandibular nerve dysfunction. Transient alopecia at the site of liposuction was found in 3 out of the 39 male patients. In the hands of an experienced surgeon, reciprocating PAL of the neck is a safe method with a very low complication rate.

“…Tumescent anesthesia revolutionized liposuction and other plastic and dermatologic surgical procedures by enabling large areas to be anesthetized and treated without needing general anesthesia. [21][22][23] In interventional radiology, this technique has been adopted to allow saphenous vein ablation to be performed in an office setting, often without any sedation. 24,25 Ultrasound-guided administration of local anesthetic around veins is thus a common technique to many interventional radiologists.…”

Uterine artery embolization has Level A data supporting excellent safety and efficacy in treating symptomatic uterine leiomyomata. However, there is a perception that either postprocedural pain is severe or poorly managed by the physician performing these procedures. This has led some primary care physicians to omit this procedure from the patients' options or to steer patients away from this procedure. A few simple techniques (pruning of the vascular tree and embolizing to 5?10 beat stasis) and fastidious pre-, intra-, and post-procedural management can nearly eliminate significant pain associated with embolization. Specifically, early implementation of long-acting low-dose narcotics, antiemetics and anti-inflammatory medications is critical. Finally, the use of a superior hypogastric nerve block, which takes minutes to perform and carries a very low risk, significantly reduces pain and diminishes the need for narcotics; when this technique was used in a prospective study, all patients were able to be discharged the day of the procedure. In the authors' experience, patients treated in this manner largely recover completely within 5 days and have a far less traumatic experience than patients traditionally treated with only midazolam (Versed) and fentanyl citrate (fentanyl) intraprocedurally, and narcotics and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs postprocedurally.

Safety of Liposuction of the Neck Using Tumescent Local Anesthesia: Experience in 320 Cases

Abstract: Liposuction of the neck with tumescent local anesthesia requires a higher amount of patient monitoring than liposuction of the body. In the hands of an experienced surgeon, it is a safe method rendering excellent aesthetic results.
