Q: Can I get a tummy tuck while awake?

A:

Tummy tuck under a local anesthesia, with or or without IV sedation, is a compromise.  It is very difficult to obtain adequate muscle tightening, which is a fundamental part of the operation. It is not any safer than when performed under a general anesthetic and may require very high doses of local anesthetic. To get the best results possible, I believe, requires a general anesthetic.
