Awake Lipo vs. General Anesthesia
Liposuction can be performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on your needs and preferences. Both offer outstanding results to help you achieve your body contouring goals.
Awake Liposuction
Dr. Hakimi specializes in awake liposuction, allowing for precise fat removal using local anesthesia. This advanced approach reduces downtime and minimizes the risks associated with general anesthesia. It can also provide more dynamic results by making it easier for Dr. Hakimi to maneuver your body and evaluate the outcome of your procedure as it’s happening.

For more extensive body contouring, Dr. Hakimi also offers liposuction under general anesthesia. This option is ideal for patients undergoing total body liposuction or hi-def techniques, allowing for more aggressive techniques while ensuring your comfort. With general anesthesia, multiple areas can be treated in a single surgery for comprehensive results.

Take Your Results to the Next Level
Fat Transfer + Skin Tightening
Don’t settle for less when you can optimize your results. Dr. Hakimi can redistribute unwanted fat to other areas you’d like to accentuate, taking you one step closer to your ideal body shape. The most common areas for fat transfer include the face, breasts or buttocks, but fat can also be transferred into the muscles to create a more athletic look.
Minimally invasive skin tightening with BodyTite can also be performed to eliminate sagging caused by weight loss or aging, providing a smoother appearance that highlights your body’s natural curves. This dual approach not only enhances your final contours but also improves the overall quality and texture of your skin for seamless results.
FAQ
Is Liposuction Right for Me?
Liposuction is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal body weight but struggle with localized deposits of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. It is suitable for those with good skin elasticity and realistic expectations about their results. If you are seeking to remove stubborn areas of fat to contour and refine your body shape, liposuction might be the solution you’ve been looking for. However, it is not a treatment for obesity or a shortcut to weight loss.
How Long Is the Recovery?
Recovery time varies depending on the extent of your procedure, the techniques used and your overall health. Awake liposuction typically involves minimal downtime, with most patients feeling comfortable returning to work and light activities after a few days. Total body liposuction may involve a more extensive recovery period that lasts for a week or more. No matter which type of liposuction you’ve had, follow Dr. Hakimi’s post-op instructions carefully for the best results.
Are the Results Permanent?
Liposuction provides long-lasting results that can be considered permanent — so long as your weight is stable. The fat cells removed will not grow back, but those that remain can still expand in response to substantial weight gain, negatively affecting your final outcome.
How Much Is Removed?
In the state of California, up to 5 liters of fat can be removed during each liposuction procedure. This limit is set to ensure your safety and applies regardless of what type of anesthesia is used. That being said, liposuction under general anesthesia may allow for more fat removal than awake lipo (while still staying within the legal limit) because only a certain amount of local anesthesia can be administered before lidocaine toxicity starts to become a risk factor.
