Awake Liposuction

Do you have stubborn fat that won’t budge, even after diet and exercise adjustments? Are you looking for a minimally-invasive way to get rid of excess fat? Awake liposuction at Salameh Plastic Surgery Center may be a great solution for you!

Awake liposuction, also known as tumescent liposuction, is a procedure that targets unwanted or excess fat in the body. Unlike traditional liposuction, which requires general anesthesia, awake liposuction is performed while the patient is awake and alert. The patient can see the results as the procedure is performed, allowing for more control and communication with the surgeon.

  • The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which takes a safe procedure under general anesthesia, and makes it safer.
  • Shorter recovery time compared to traditional liposuction.
  • The procedure is performed in our in-house, fully accredited, AAAASF-certified surgical facility designed for your safety and comfort in mind.

At Salameh Plastic Surgery Center, we are proud to offer our patients the latest and most advanced techniques in plastic surgery, including awake liposuction. Our experienced and highly qualified double-board surgeons are experts in this procedure and are dedicated to providing patients with the best possible results. Schedule a consultation with us to see how awake liposuction can help you look and feel your best!
