Do you have to be fasting before Smart Lipo under local anesthesia?

Thanks for the question, you dont have to fast before a local anesthetic case but we do suggest to limit intake to just some water and a very light meal (oatmeal) in order to reduce the risk of nausea

Hello,
No, you do not need to fast before smart lipo under local anesthesia. You are awake throughout the entire process. Because of this, you don't run the risk of food or liquids coming back up the esophagus during the surgery. We encourage patients to have food and drink before coming in for a procedure done under local anesthesia.
