General anaesthesia is a main choise .Sometimes local if we have a small region.

i´ts not possible to use loca anaesthesia, it should be general.

Local anesthesia with general sedation, in a tumescent technique

Dear,

Liposuction surgery, as performed by us for decades, is done under total local anesthesia. However, we also do it rarely, under general anesthesia. But I strongly recommend, tumescent local anesthesia, for performing liposuction surgery, in order to avoid risks of general anesthesia.

With Best Wishes

I prefer general Anaesthesia. But I take all extra Precaution to prevent pulmonary embolism. My clients will be ambulated two hours after surgery. Long surgeries we routinely do upper and lower limb joint mobilization hourly. High risk individuals we start them on low molecular weight heparin 4 hours after surgery.

Liposuction can be performed with local anaesthetic reducing the risks. Despite good health and a reasonable level of fitness, some people may still have a body with disproportionate contours due to localized fat deposits. These areas may be due to family traits rather than a lack of weight control or fitness. Liposuction slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits, improving your body contours and proportion, and ultimately, enhancing your self-image. Liposuction techniques may be used to reduce localized fat deposits of the: . Thighs . Hips and buttocks . Abdomen and waist . Upper arms . Back . Inner knee . Chest area . Cheeks, chin and neck . Calves and ankles In some cases, liposuction is performed alone, in other cases it is used with plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck. What it won’t do: Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise. It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite, the dimpled skin that typically appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks, or loose saggy skin.

General anesthesia does not carry the risk of pulmonary embolism.On the contrary liposuction can ,even if it has been very rare and in combination with abdominoplasty
Local anesthesia is perfectly ok unless the area under treatment is very large ,in this case you may require a too large dose of local anaesthetic so GA is preferable

Loacl anesthesia can bu utilized for very limited areas. Local anesthesia can be verstaile under concious sedation as well in selected cases.

General anaesthesia is very safe and is the most confortable for the patient. Local anaesthesia is possible, but is not necesary safer. A litte risk always exist. The best idea is to talk with the anesthesiologist, to choose the best option for you
