Lakeview Dermatology is proud to offer liposuction using only local (tumescent) anesthesia. Almost any area of the body may be treated, the most common being abdomen, female hips and thighs, neck, and male waist (love handles).

Ideal liposuction candidates are at or near their maximum weight, in good overall health, and not obese. Localized deposits of fat accumulation that do not respond to diet and exercise alone are easily treated with tumescent liposuction.

Liposuction using only local anesthesia consistently produces excellent results, and has been proven to be the safest way to undergo liposuction. Only one or two areas are treated during a particular session, thus avoiding the risks of "mega-liposuction" performed under general anesthesia. When the patient is awake and able to participate in their own positioning, the aesthetic results are enhanced and true "liposculpture" can be achieved.

With liposuction only by local anesthesia, recovery time is minimal and most patients are able to return to work the next day! Soreness may persist for one to two weeks, but this is quite tolerable for virtually all patients.
