We offer awake Liposuction at our location because we realize that, for many individuals, undergoing Liposuction in the OR under general anesthesia is not an option; they would avoid its associated risks. For others, the financial challenge of the OR exceeds their budget.
A liposuction is an effective way to remove stubborn fat and start getting into shape. Common areas from where Liposuction can remove fat are the abdomen, flanks, chin, arms, back, bra roll, bra bulges, and inner thighs. If you want to learn more about our awake Liposuction with or without fat transfer options, we welcome you to contact aesthetic and cosmetic surgeons today!
At Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgeons, we use awake or local anesthetic techniques whenever possible to benefit our patients. During your initial consultation with Dr. Jain, he will discuss all aspects of the procedure, and whether awake Liposuction is viable for you. Depending on your health and the complexity of the procedure you elect, it may be possible to perform your Liposuction utilizing a local anesthetic. This is called the tumescent technique, which uses infiltration of the subcutaneous tissue in a uniform distribution of fluid in superficial, medium, and deep layers of fat.
With awake Liposuction, the treatment area is first anesthetized; at this point, Dr. Jain begins the Liposuction procedure with you in an alert and cognizant state. Thanks to local anesthesia, you will not feel pain, touch, or temperature in the affected area but will still be able to communicate with the doctor and possess a feeling of control. Our patients who have undergone awake Liposuction have had positive reactions due partly to this feeling of involvement in the surgical process.
The benefits of local anesthesia over general anesthesia are many:
Subsequently, we use a fourth-generation ultrasonic-assisted liposuction technology that uses vibration amplification of pulsed low-power sound energy at resonance using small-diameter titanium probes with groves near the tip to increase fat fragmentation efficiently by redistributing energy.
After, the emulsification cannulas are employed in a low vacuum pressure setting to remove the fat. Fat is uniformly extracted from deep and medium layers; the attention is focused on the aesthetic areas and expectations of the patient. Subsequently, superficial Liposuction is accomplished until the endpoint. Dr. Jain may use additional energy-based devices to tighten the skin. Thus making awake Liposuction a safe and effective procedure.
Awake Liposuction with 4D technology treats male and female breasts, face, neck, trunk, abdomen, inner thighs, and back and combines with body contouring procedures. There is less bruising, sensitivity, and better skin draping when compared to laser liposuction.
We recommend wearing compression garments in the first week except when showering and during the daytime, subsequently for the next five weeks, combined with watching diet, exercise, and lymphatic massages for good results.
