Do I have to be awake during laser lipo?

November 5, 2015
Asked By:taylorthibodaux in Thibodaux, LA

I have been interested in Laser Lipo for some time and I've watched videos on how it's done. I get incredibly squeamish at the sight of it and I don't know if I can sit through the doctor doing that. Is there any way that I could be put to sleep during the surgery? I really want to do it, but I just can't handle the anxiety and the thought of being awake during that time.
