Rise and Shine To Awake Liposuction
We proudly serve our Los Angeles community with a best-in-class plastic surgery Beverly Hills Clinic. When Dr. Ourian chose to found the clinic, he wanted to give people an experience that exceeded their expectations.
One key goal of his clinic is to ensure each patient receives individual attention and care. Our patients may be ready for a procedure such as body sculpting or facelifting. Still, they might have some anxiety or even fear about the procedure before surgery. That’s perfectly normal. Our clinic staff can manage cosmetic surgery day in and day out, yet we realize this can be a big deal for our patients. They may not fully understand how modern advancements have upgraded procedures such as tummy tucks or complete body lifts. It’s pretty impressive!
One procedure that’s benefitted from modern technology and medicine is liposuction. Thinner cannulas make it easier to get into specific body areas where fat cells are. The leaner cannulas can also result in minimal scarring and quicker recovery. In addition, our patients can choose to use general anesthesia where they are completely asleep or remain cognizant throughout the procedure. There may be underlying health reasons for choosing a particular route. Yet, other times, it could be a personal preference.
We provide awake liposuction to all types of personalities
Each person has a different way of coping with surgery. For instance, some patients can struggle with preoperative anxiety. An article from the National Library of Medicine notes people under the age of fifty might suffer from preoperative anxiety more than those over fifty. It could be because older Los Angeles residents have been through surgery before, so they know what to expect. Personality types can respond to surgery differently, too. Some have a more easy-going attitude and would rather be completely asleep during a procedure.
For those who like to remain cognizant, there is Awake Liposuction. Some patients prefer to understand what is happening and would like to ask Dr. Ourian questions along the way. Remaining awake during cosmetic surgery may be a coping mechanism for them too.
Whatever route our patients go, Dr. Ourian and the clinic team will ensure patients understand the process every step of the way. Patients will be informed of what to expect at the first consultation. After surgery is scheduled, our staff will give patient all the details for their to pre-op and post-op care. We also spend the time going over the various options for pain medication and reviewing any allergies. Yes, it’s our goal to ensure our patients experience a low-anxiety, successful surgery. And studies show well-informed and engaged patients have better surgical outcomes.
In addition, patients are typically more satisfied with the care they receive. And a prepared patient is helpful to our clinic staff, too. One of the best ways for any personality type to handle surgery anxiety is to be informed about what to expect. And it’s one reason why Awake Liposuction has been the choice of many of our patients!
