Can general anesthesia be used safely for liposuction?
Yes. Liposuction with general anesthesia can be done safely provided 1) an anesthesiologist is present to administer the anesthetic, 2) the surgeon does not attempt to remove too much fat, nor attempt to treat too many areas on the same day, and 3) the surgeon does not do other surgeries unrelated to liposuction on the same day.
