Awake Surgery
More Details about the procedure
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Rigo J Mendoza, MD specializes in awake surgery. Dr. Mendoza has performed over 8,000 procedures on patients while they are awake. It is Dr. Mendoza's experience that patients recover more quickly if they do not have to undergo general anesthesia. This also reduces risks during surgery associated with general anesthesia. It allows for a faster post operative recovery.
No tapping involved! Oral sedation during the procedure allows for a comfortable experience during the procedure eliminating much of the patient's anxiety. Another advantage of the patient being awake is that they can participate in the process by moving to different positions to allow for a more precise fat removal process resulting in better contours throughout the body.
