Do you have to be put out for laser liposuction?

I had a very bad experience with a tummy tuck and I wouldn't want to be put out again.

No, laser liposuction is usually done while you are awake. Only old school physicians or procedures requiring special circumstances would be put under general.

Laser liposuction can and often is done under local anesthesia with or without some form of oral sedation and relaxation. It can be done that way on anyone regardless of the area being treated. What is important to realize, however, is the amount of fat and the number of areas that can be treated in a single session is going to be less than when one is put to sleep. Liposuction done under local or tumescence is often more limited and may require more than one treatment session if one has multiple areas or larger amounts of fat to be removed. Due to some patient fears and other considerations, this may be more desirable than one single major procedure with a longer recovery and exposure to a general anesthetic.

No, you do not need to be put out. You can look for a surgeon that does true tumescent liposuction. What this means is that the procedure is done totally under local anesthesia. This was developed by Dr. Jeffrey Klein a dermatologist in southern California. You will see
many surgeons say they do tumescent liposuction but in reality they are still putting you out. I only give my patients a little oral lorazepam to help relax them but they can talk to me throughout the procedure. Many of them bring an MP3 player and listen to music while the procedure is performed.
