Liposuction for lipedema can safely be performed awake in many patients that are otherwise healthy.  We can remove up to 5L in a single session while keeping the patient very comfortable without an IV or a breathing tube.Many patients prefer this option because they don't have to experience nausea, brain fog, and have more control over their body throughout the process.We perform greater than 95% of our surgeries awake with minimal sedation in our accredited facility and think that if you're not sure about whether it's right for you, just ask and let us tell you about the possible benefits.
