The Highlights of Awake Stomach Liposuction

Overview

Unwanted fat is removed from the abdomen while you’re under local anesthesia, through a small tube and tiny incisions that are barely noticeable.

Recovery

Awake stomach liposuction has a quick recovery time of about 3-4 weeks, but initial downtime post-procedure is required for 24-48 hours.

Results

Swelling and bruising usually disappear in the first month, but you can expect to spot the slimmed-down version of your stomach almost immediately after surgery.

Are You a Good Candidate for Awake Stomach Liposuction?

You may be a candidate if you:

have firm and elastic skin that will tighten after fat removal.
have localized fat deposits in the stomach that won’t respond to diet or exercise.
are within 10% of your ideal body weight.
are comfortable with local anesthesia and being awake during treatment.
are in good health or without underlying conditions that complicate healing.
