Hello. I got a bbl and lipo at the same time. The doctor assured the procedure was going to be in a surgery room, but they took me to a cunsultatuon room in his office. They gave me a pill to relax, and he started working on me without anesthesia. He said the liquid inserted was anesthesia. A nurse helped him do the procedure, the whole time he was next to her telling her what to do. He didn’t give me any ivy or anything more. The nurse didn’t wear gloves when she was puting on my bandages.

Answer: Liposuction without anesthesia Hi and sorry to hear about your experience. I personally do not usually do large amounts of liposuction on any of my patients under local/IV sedation. I will occasionally do it on a very, very tiny area with some local and some sedation, but large cases of liposuction are always performed in our surgery center with general anesthesia. I think that anyone suggesting that liposuction can be done painfree without anesthesia or sedation is being less than honest. Ensure that your provider is a board certified plastic surgeon performing this procedure.

Answer: Liposuction expectations I'm sorry that you had a painful experience with your liposuction procedure. Usually, when we do the procedure in our office, patients do quite well with the oral sedation (pill) and the numbing medication in the fluid (tumescent fluid). If you had pain, typically additional local anesthetic would be administered to that site. Likely you will still have a very nice result. I would let your surgeon know about any issues that troubled you so improvements can be made in the future. Best wishes.
