What Is Awake Liposuction?

Awake liposuction is a minimally invasive fat removal procedure designed to sculpt and refine your body contours without the need for general anesthesia.

During this treatment, local anesthesia is used to numb the targeted areas, allowing you to remain awake, comfortable, and relaxed throughout the process. This technique minimizes surgical risk, reduces recovery time, and enhances precision for natural-looking results.

At Manhattan Beauty Project, all awake liposuction treatments are performed under the supervision of Dr. P, combining surgical expertise with an artistic eye for proportion. This approach creates smooth, sculpted contours that complement your natural shape while supporting a faster, more comfortable recovery experience.
