Awake Liposuction in Sacramento & Elk Grove
Surgeon-Performed Body Contouring Under Local Anesthesia
At Vive Aesthetica in Sacramento, California, Dr. Rana S. Khan, a board-certified general surgeon, performs awake liposuction using local/tumescent anesthesia for appropriately selected patients. Minimally invasive skin tightening may also be available when clinically appropriate.
Why awake liposuction?
Awake liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that removes localized fat deposits while the patient remains conscious. Using tumescent local anesthesia, the treatment area is numbed to allow fat removal without general anesthesia in appropriately selected patients. The procedure is designed to improve body contours rather than achieve significant weight loss.
Why local/tumescent anesthesia?
With awake liposuction, a dilute tumescent anesthetic solution is introduced into the treatment area to numb the tissue and facilitate fat removal. For appropriately selected patients, this allows liposuction without general anesthesia while maintaining the ability to communicate throughout the procedure. Some discomfort may still occur, and local anesthesia carries its own risks. Dr. Khan evaluates each patient’s medical history, treatment goals, and planned procedure to determine whether awake liposuction is appropriate.
No general anesthesia for appropriately selected patients
Local anesthetic delivered throughout the treatment area
Epinephrine in the tumescent solution helps reduce bleeding
Office-based treatment with same-day discharge for suitable patients
Areas We Treat
At Vive Aesthetica, we offer individualized liposuction and body-contouring options for localized fat deposits in multiple areas of the body. Treatment suitability depends on individual anatomy, skin elasticity, medical history, and aesthetic goals.
Abdomen and Waistline: Contouring stubborn fat deposits in the upper and lower abdomen to improve abdominal definition.
Flanks (Love Handles): Reducing localized fat along the sides of the waist and lower back.
Chin and Neck: Removing excess fat beneath the chin and along the neck to improve jawline and neck definition.
Upper and Lower Back: Addressing localized back fat, including upper-back fullness and bra-line fat deposits.
Arms: Contouring excess fat in the upper arms while considering skin elasticity and the potential need for additional skin tightening.
Inner and Outer Thighs: Reducing localized fat deposits to improve thigh contours and proportions.
Male Chest Contouring: Addressing excess fatty tissue in the male chest, including selected cases of pseudogynecomastia. True gynecomastia involving glandular tissue may require additional surgical treatment.
Male Body Contouring: Individualized treatment of the abdomen, flanks, chest, and back to improve masculine body contours.
Liposuction With Skin Tightening
For appropriately selected patients, minimally invasive skin-tightening technology may be combined with liposuction to address mild to moderate skin laxity. The appropriate treatment depends on skin quality, anatomy, and the extent of correction desired.
Not every treatment area or patient is suitable for awake liposuction. Dr. Khan evaluates each patient individually to determine the safest and most appropriate approach.
