Awake liposuction has been performed in varying limited forms since the tumescent liposuction technique was introduced in the early seventies. Since this time technological advancements in liposuction have occurred and now fat using the appropriate fat extracting modalities can be removed more efficiently than ever. The result generally accomplishes spot fat reduction and a streamline body contour for larger vlume fat removal.

As a board certified plastic surgeon I have observed and studied this evolution and now offer twlight body contouring for 95% of my liposuction patients. Combining both the finesse of my intraoperative body contouring sculpting measures and the advantages of awake/twilight liposuction surgery stunning body contouring results can be achieved with dramatic decreases in patients downtime and the avoidance of general anesthesia. This procedure can also be done in the office setting and can include fat transfer to the buttock and breast.
