Can liposuction be performed with local anesthetic only?
Yes, in fact this is our routine.
Many patients undergo liposuction with local anesthesia alone and no sedation or other pain-related medication whatsoever.
Others prefer a Valium-like medication, or much less commonly a mild pain medication, but patients undergoing tumescent liposuction are awake,
alert, and in control during the procedure.
