The awake liposuction procedure at Muse Plastic Surgery begins with local anesthesia administered to the targeted area, ensuring you remain awake and comfortable throughout the process. We utilize advanced techniques and technology to make tiny incisions through which a particular tumescent solution is introduced. This solution helps numb the area, reduce bleeding, and facilitate fat removal. Subsequently, a thin, hollow tube called a cannula is carefully inserted through the incisions. The cannula dislodges and removes unwanted fat deposits, contouring the treatment area. The procedure duration may vary based on the extent of the treatment but typically lasts between one to two hours. While you may experience some mild discomfort, local anesthesia significantly minimizes pain.
