What Is Awake Liposuction?

Awake liposuction is a faster, safer, lower-cost way for you to benefit from 360 Liposuction. It is performed by making small incisions and infusing a special solution called “tumescent solution” into the treatment area. This solution combines saline with lidocaine (a pain reliever) and epinephrine, which reduces bleeding/bruising.

This procedure is an ideal method by which you can achieve your body contouring goals and is just one of the many treatment options we offer at our Phoenix and Chandler locations. To learn more about how awake liposuction can benefit you, reach out to Elite Plastic Surgery and schedule your initial consultation today.

Led by a trio of renowned plastic surgeons, our team brings years of experience and expertise to every procedure. We make sure to remain at the forefront of the latest advancements in plastic surgery techniques and technology so we can guarantee our patients the highest quality care and the most ideal possible results.

What Does the Procedure Treat?

The same amount of fat can be removed with awake liposuction that can be removed with traditional liposuction. Dr. Torabi will help you explore the benefits of awake vs. traditional liposuction. Awake liposuction can be used on stubborn areas like the following:

  • Double Chin
  • Muffin top
  • Abdominal apron
  • Back bra rolls
  • Waist
  • Hips
  • Thighs 
  • Other fatty excess areas

Cadidates for Awake Liposuction Procedure

The best candidates for this type of liposuction procedure are healthy individuals who are not getting the fastest and best body contouring results from traditional weight loss measures. There will be no general anesthesia during your awake liposuction procedure.

How Long Is the Recovery Period?

Most patients who have an awake liposuction procedure are able to recover very quickly and can even return to their normal activities in just a few days. Gym activities can be resumed after about one week. Awake liposuction is a sharp contrast to regular asleep liposuction, which usually has a recovery time of a week or two. If you do not have two weeks to rest and recover from liposuction and you are a good candidate, awake liposuction may be the better choice.
