Wide Awake Lipo at Andlos in Sarasota Florida performed by Dr Robert Carlson of Sarasota, FL. The cost of anesthesia is a large portion of the price of a traditional liposuction procedure. A liposuction procedure without general anesthesia allows patients to remove small pockets of fat (2-10 lbs depending on total body weight) at a significantly lower cost than traditional liposuction (often less than 00). Additionally, full recovery from the procedure is as little as a day. The more fat removed, the longer the recovery time.
