What Is Awake Liposuction in Chandler, AZ

Liposuction removes pockets of fat that hold on through diet and exercise, using a thin cannula placed through small incisions. With awake liposuction, Dr. Fayad numbs only the treatment area, so you remain conscious and can talk with him while he works.

It is a contouring procedure rather than a weight loss method. The aim is a smoother outline in the areas you choose, planned around your own build.

Who Liposuction Is Right For

Good candidates are in generally good health and want to change the shape of a specific area.

  • You are at or near a weight you can keep
  • Fat stays in one area despite diet and exercise
  • Your skin still has reasonable firmness
  • You want a smoother contour, not a lower number on the scale

Liposuction and Medical Weight Loss

If you have more weight to lose, our weight loss injections, such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, can come first. Liposuction then shapes the areas that did not change.

Some patients also pair liposuction with Renuvion skin tightening for looser skin, or use their own fat in a facial fat transfer.

Liposuction FAQ in Chandler, AZ

How much fat can liposuction remove?

Liposuction is meant for shaping, so the amount removed is set by safety limits and by what leaves a smooth result in each area. Dr. Fayad tells you what is realistic for your areas at your consultation.

Can I lose 10 kg with liposuction?

Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, and the scale often moves less than people expect. If you want to lose 10 kg or more, our weight loss injections can come first, with liposuction afterward for the areas that hold on.

What does awake liposuction feel like?

The treatment area is numbed with local anesthesia before Dr. Fayad begins. You may feel pressure and movement, and you can talk with him throughout the procedure.

How long is recovery after liposuction?

Recovery depends on the areas treated and how many. You wear a compression garment for the period Dr. Fayad sets, and swelling eases over the following weeks. Your final contour usually shows after a few months.

Do liposuction results last?

Fat cells that are removed do not grow back. The fat cells that remain can still enlarge if you gain weight, so keeping a steady weight helps you keep your new shape.

Is liposuction the same as a tummy tuck?

No. Liposuction removes fat, while a tummy tuck removes loose skin and tightens the abdominal muscles. If mild skin laxity is your concern, Dr. Fayad may suggest Renuvion skin tightening alongside liposuction.
