What Is Awake Lipo?
Liposuction is one of the most popular body contouring procedures, helping countless individuals remove stubborn fat when diet and exercise don't provide results. Despite its effectiveness, not everyone is comfortable with undergoing general anesthesia for surgery. For those individuals, Arijai Aesthetics and Wellness is excited to offer awake liposuction. Also known as tumescent liposuction, this procedure can be used to sculpt the waist, thighs, buttocks, arms, chest, and chin. We also offer high BMI awake lipo for patients with a body mass index over 30, making it a viable option for individuals of all sizes. Awake lipo provides the same advantages as traditional liposuction but with a shorter recovery period and less risk of complications. If you're seeking a more contoured figure but are hesitant about general anesthesia, contact our practice in Burnsville, MN to see if awake liposuction is right for you.
How Does Awake Liposuction Work?
Awake lipo effectively targets stubborn fat in various parts of the body, including the midsection, arms, legs, chin, and chest. The process begins with numbing the treatment area and making small incisions in the skin. We then infuse a solution of saline, lidocaine to minimize discomfort, and epinephrine to control bleeding and bruising. Using a cannula (a hollow tube used for medical procedures), we carefully remove the unwanted fat, aiming for symmetrical and natural-looking results. You will remain awake and alert during the procedure, experiencing little to no discomfort. The surgery duration ranges from 1 – 4 hours, depending on the treatment area and the amount of fat being removed.
What Are the Benefits of Awake Lipo?
If you've thought about liposuction but were hesitant due to the use of general anesthesia, awake lipo at our Burnsville, MN office could be the answer. The benefits of tumescent liposuction include:
- Reduced swelling and bruising compared to traditional lipo
- Quicker recovery period
- Avoidance of side effects linked to general anesthesia
- Ability to stay conscious and aware during the procedure
