Awake Liposuction in Fayetteville, NC

What is Awake Luxury Liposuction?

Awake Luxury liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure where the patient is awake during the surgical procedure. Awake liposuction might be perfect for you if the thought of going under anesthesia makes you nervous. Awake liposuction provides a faster recovery because general anesthesia is not needed.

How does Awake Luxury Liposuction work?

Awake Luxury liposuction essentially works the same way as traditional liposuction except that you aren’t asleep during the procedure. Your surgeon will use sedatives and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during this minimally invasive surgery.

When you’re ready, the surgeon will carefully pass a cannula into your body through small incisions and then further numb the area with a tumescent solution, which is a local anesthetic that reduces pain and bleeding. They will then remove any unwanted fat. Awake luxury liposuction is a body contouring procedure, so your surgeon will shape and sculpt the body, removing fat strategically to get the desired body shape.

What are the benefits of Awake Luxury Liposuction?

Because you’re not asleep during this type of liposuction, your surgeon is able to talk to you during your procedure. This could result in better results because your surgeon can ask you to move in a certain position or flex a certain muscle, and help sculpt and contour your body more effectively. This can result in a better finished product.

Awake Luxury liposuction is also less risky because local anesthesia poses fewer risks than general anesthesia. Plus you’ll be able to get back to life more quickly. Of course you’ll have to take it easy and rest after your liposuction, but skipping general anesthesia means avoiding feeling groggy and disconnected for up to 24 hours after your surgery.

Awake Luxury liposuction also utilizes tumescent fluid. This mixture of fluids and lidocaine not only helps numb the area but also makes the fat swell, making it easier to remove. The result is less swelling and bruising after the procedure. This makes recovery faster and easier.

What parts of the body can be treated?

Awake Luxury liposuction is incredibly versatile and can be performed almost anywhere you desire. You may choose to sculpt the any of the following areas:

Is Awake Luxury Liposuction recovery really faster?

Awake Luxury liposuction does not involve general anesthesia which in return produces generally a faster recovery time. This means aftercare is less complicated, and you can typically go home about an hour after surgery. However, your body will still require three to five days of rest before you can return to work, as well as some restrictions on lifting and other activities days and weeks after.

Am I a good candidate for Awake Luxury Liposuction?

The best candidates for awake liposuction are nonsmokers who are generally healthy and close to their ideal body weight. But there is a lot more wiggle room in the criteria for awake liposuction than there is for traditional liposuction. Please consult this with your surgeon during your consultation.
