Local anesthesia
Awake liposuction in Seoul: local anesthesia, fat removed directly.
“Awake liposuction” usually means fat removal under local anesthesia without being put to sleep. At 365mc, the awake option is LAMS: direct extraction with local anesthesia only, no incision and no compression garment.
The basics
Why some people prefer to stay awake
Local anesthesia avoids the effects of sleep anesthesia.
Staying awake means you can talk with your doctor, see the fat that was removed and usually return to light activity sooner. The trade-off is that awake methods suit smaller, defined areas rather than large volume.
For larger volume, surgical liposuction with the anesthesia team is usually more appropriate.

Fat is drawn directly into a syringe. According to 365mc, extracting one bottle takes about ten minutes, and because you are awake you can see the fat that was removed and talk with your doctor during the procedure.
- No incision, so no stitches to remove
- No sleep anesthesia — local anesthesia only
- No compression garment
