Should I be awake or asleep for liposuction?

  1. Local Anesthesia — For those patients who have reservations about being “put to sleep” or have small areas that need to be treated. Medication can be taken to help you relax during the procedure.
  2. IV Sedation | Twilight Anesthesia — Requires placement of an IV and some blood work. You are given medication so that you are comfortable, gently fall asleep and have minimal to no recollection of the procedure.
  3. General Anesthesia — An anesthesiologist will provide complete general anesthesia to put you to sleep. For larger areas of liposuction. Potential for improved results.
