Awake Vaser Lipo ?

With the exception of the fact that you are awake during the treatment, awake liposuction functions similarly to standard liposuction. To keep you comfortable throughout this minimally invasive procedure, the surgeon will administer local anesthesia (numbing medicine) and sedatives.

The surgeon will delicately insert a cannula through tiny incisions when you're ready, and then use a tumescent solution. Which is a local anesthetic that lessens discomfort and bleeding. After the numbing takes effect, the fat will be remove with the liposuction. Because liposuction is a body sculpting treatment, your surgeon will deliberately remove fat from your body to get the ideal form.

Hello thanks for your question. Vaser liposuction is typically performed under general anesthesia. This approach allows for a more comfortable experience for the patient, as it ensures they are completely unconscious during the procedure. However for smaller treatment areas might be possible to perform with local anesthesia. It depends on many factors. I recommend you to contact a Board Certified Surgeon for consultation. I wish you all the best.

The procedure can be performed both awake and asleep. However, when typically using the Vaser, the surgeons are going after more aggressive results and in the majority of patients, this would be very uncomfortable. Further it’s difficult to work in between the muscles without the patient moving and causing uneven results. While this can be done awake I would highly recommend that would be done under general anesthesia.

Hello dear "lopei" , It is Dr. Hong from Fresh Plastic Surgery Clinic South Korea, Seoul. I am not sure about Turkey, but here in Korea, almost all plastic surgeries (except of: double jaw, bone surgery, too long surgery) are processed under local + sedative anesthesia. Sedative anesthesia is condition when your sleep is controlled by medications, but all your system work by itself, so no tube required.
Best Regards,

Vaser lipo can definitely be done awake with just local anesthetic. I usually suggest patients go under general anesthesia, but it's not a requirement.
