Anesthesia for Liposuction

Various types of anesthesia can be used for liposuction procedures. Together, you and your cosmetic surgeon will select the type of anesthesia that provides the safest and most 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. The local is often used along with intravenous sedation to keep you more relaxed during the procedure. Regional anesthesia can be a good choice for more extensive procedures. One type of regional anesthesia is the epidural block, the same type of anesthesia commonly used in childbirth.

Some of our Mississauga and Toronto liposuction patients prefer general anesthesia, particularly if a large volume of fat is being removed. If this is the case, a board-certified anesthesiologist will administer your local or general anaesthetic, stay with you during the entire operation, and will be there as you wake up.
