In the UK they do Vaser Lipo awake however it's about £6k so looking for a surgeon in Turkey. When speaking to medical clinics in Turkey they're saying it's impossible to do this surgery under local - why is this? Is there any surgeon in Turkey who does this procedure without general anaesthetic ? When I spoke to a clinic in the UK they were similarly confused when I told them the Turkish clinics put you to sleep as it's a keyhole surgery. Thanks in advance.
Answer: Vaser Liposuction 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.

Answer: Professional Recommendation 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.

Answer: Awake Vaser Lipo 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.

Answer: It can be done with local 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.
