According to a recent story on TV, Dr. Leonard Grossman has developed a new procedure for liposuction in which you are neither under general anesthesia nor are you lying down. On the other hand, you have only local anesthesia and as you stand up, the doctor pumps the fat out. That way the surgeon knows exactly how you will look after the fat is gone. Plus, if you want, you can provide real time feedback to your surgeon. In other words, no need for touch-ups.
Dr. Grossman, however, cautioned that this procedure is not for everyone. It is ideal for those who only need to lose small volumes of fat. By the way, while it is a good idea to appreciate the risks of plastic surgery, what really freaks many patients out is the fact that while they are passed out, they are not sure if they will ever come back to life.
