Liposuction procedure while awake?

For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction, which is performed under general anesthesia and allows for more fat removal and body contouring. 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

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  In my practice, I perform liposuction under general anesthesia or conscious sedation administered by a board-certified MD anesthesiologist.  In my hands, this produces in the safest and most effective results.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
