I would like to get lipo on my abdomen the lower sides and the top as well. Could I do this with local anesthetic?
Answer: Abdomen lipo with local Limited liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia. If you are going to get multiple areas and you want maximal results, you will have to find a plastic surgeon who generates dramatic results. You also do not want to be in pain during the procedure so that the surgeon must stop the procedure or do less than what is necessary. For this reason, general is a better option for my patients. Find a board certified plastic surgeon with elite educational, experience, and training credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results with favorable patient reviews.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Liposuction & Anesthesia--VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting Liposuction under general anesthesia can allow for more fat removal, body shaping and contouring. or best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Abdomen Liposuction With Local Anesthetic ? It all depends on the physical examination, the amount of fat to be extracted and the type of patient. Small volumes (up to 1 Lt) can be performed comfortably with local anesthesia on an outpatient basis and frequently in the office (if the doctor has a surgical area). It is usually a procedure that is performed with sedation and local anesthesia or with epidural block, some doctors prefer general anesthesia. This is a procedure that is usually done outpatient and its results are very satisfactory. Talk to your surgeon and between the two you will find the best option for you.I Hope I Have Been Helpful, Dr. Manuel Ventura Certified, Medical Research Institute of Plastic Surgery in Sao Bernardo do Campo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
