Liposuction + Awake Q&A

I'm so confused about the various liposuctions and which I would need. I've gotten different price quotes varying from $7k-$30k. I just want to shrink my midsection. Is it better to go under or stay awake? How soon can I go back to work to a desk job working from home? Help please and thank you.

I'm considering awake lipo and want to know the risk of provider hitting a main arterie and what would be the complications associated.

I Want to get lipo mostly to make my waist smaller and have a more hourglass figure. The problem is I Don't want to be completely out. I want to only be sedated. Is this possible?

I have a consultation at Sono Bello next weekend for lipo of the abdomen - just a few pounds as I'm almost at my goal weight and a healthy individual. I've been researching lipo for a while now and my only hesitation is the risk of awake lipo. Is it really that risky for just a few pounds in the abdomen? plastic surgeons tend to have differing opinions on this but I'm curious on the Real Self surgeons opinions.

I'm having liposuction done next week and the surgeon said he will be performing the surgery while I am awake. I'm completely freaking out now because I'm afaird I'm going to feel pain or freak out during the surgery. Is it painful having in done while awake?

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 didnt give me any ivy or anything more. The nurse didnt wear gloves when she was puting on my bandages.

Anesthesia and more invasive is worth it. Can professionals elaborate on this concept? I don't have much fat to remove,...

I had tummy tuck w/liposuction in 2026. I still have flanks or love handles on each side. I found a place that would do liposuction, but while I'm awake, they only numb the areas, is this safe & will it show great results? Since I had tummy tuck w/ lipo would it be harder to remove the fat from Abd & flanks?

I'm getting Lipo of back, flanks and abdomen and I wanted to know what's the difference between local and general anesthesia? I would like to be awake for my surgery but if it's illegal or u safe, I won't ask for it?
