What type of anesthesia is used for liposuction?
Various types of anesthesia can be used for liposuction procedures. Together, you and Dr. Karlin will select the type of anesthesia that provides the most safe and effective level of comfort for your surgery. If only a small amount of fat and a limited number of body sites are involved, liposuction can be performed under local anesthesia, which numbs only the affected areas. Most patients prefer general anesthesia, particularly if a large volume of fat is being removed. BACK TO TOP | CONTACT US Visit our plastic / cosmetic surgery office in Orlando, Florida (FL).
