What Is Awake Liposuction?

Liposuction Infographic

Awake liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes unwanted fat to give desired areas of the body an improved shape and contour.

Often, there are certain areas of the body that maintain their specific shape and, no matter what your weight is or how much you exercise, they won’t change as you would like. Liposuction can help reshape those areas. Awake liposuction procedures can be performed without requiring patients to go under general anesthesia, helping them avoid the potential risks of the anesthetic. During the procedure, Dr. Hamwi can move the patient into a variety of positions to sculpt each area and have better control over its symmetry, shape, and outcome. This method allows him to navigate the entire surgical process with the utmost levels of precision and consistency.

What Areas Can Be Treated With Awake Liposuction?

As a versatile body contouring procedure, awake liposuction can be used to treat most areas where the body stores fat. Awake Liposuction is used to sculpt the body and create new contours, shapes, and curves by permanently removing fat cells. This does not mean that you can’t still gain or lose weight, as that depends on your diet and exercise habits; however, it does reset your baseline size and shape. For this reason, awake liposuction is best used for people who are in control of their weight and are more interested in sculpting particular areas of fat on the body. Typical areas treated with awake liposuction include:

Abdomen
Flanks and Waist
Chin
Arms
Thighs
Chest
Buttocks

Dr. Hamwi has also developed a special way of sculpting the abdomen, flanks, waist, and buttocks to accentuate the silhouette that he calls buttock sculpting. This sculpting creates natural-looking results similar to a Brazilian butt lift. Multiple areas can be treated at once, but limitations may be necessary for safety reasons. When discussing what area you would like to target with your surgeon, you may want to refer to the images below:

I had a brachioplasty (arm lift) done with Dr. Hamwi in December 2025, and at just shy of 6 months post-op, I can confidently say I’m extremely happy with my decision. Dr. Hamwi does beautiful work. My scar is a tiny, perfectly straight line that is already on its way to becoming nearly invisible. I followed all post-op instructions carefully — limited arm movement and lifting, wore my compression garments, and I’m still using silicone tape — and the results have been incredible. My arms are symmetrical, my elbows look amazing, and best of all… no more “bat wings” 🤗 About three days after surgery, I experienced significant swelling around my elbows and honestly had a bit of a meltdown. I had seen horror stories online about surgeons not removing enough tissue, and I became convinced that had happened to me because my elbows had a large overhang immediately post-op. Dr. Hamwi personally called me from home on Christmas Eve to reassure me. After that, he continued checking in with me several times a week. He never once made me feel like a bother. He was never dismissive, condescending, or rude — just consistently kind, patient, and reassuring. Clearly, he already knew everything would heal beautifully, but he still took the time to walk me through the process with compassion and professionalism. For that alone, I would recommend him to anyone. He’s obviously incredibly busy and in high demand, yet somehow still makes you feel like you’re his only patient.

I recently had a tummy tuck with muscle plication at 47 years old. I had carried around tons of loose skin after having 4 large babies in my early 20’s. My husband, and I did a lot of research and after doing extensive research, we decided Dr. Hamwi would be the perfect Surgeon to do my operation. From the second, I walked in the door and did my initial consultation, Dr Hamwi’s sweet nurse Danaisa and Dr.Hamwi immediately felt like family. They both never made us feel like we were a bother, asking as many questions and or concerns. And trust me we called and texted with a million questions and concerns! If you’re looking for a one of a kind, extraordinary surgeon who is truly a surgeon for ALL THE RIGHT REASONS, and is genuinely empathetic and kind and compassionate, and an extraordinary nurse this is the surgeon and place for you. There is not enough words for me to describe the utmost respect, gratitude, and amazing results I received. I was blown away at how quick my tummy tuck incision healed! And at just now four weeks post op, my incision is literally, almost invisible! Trust me, you will not be disappointed. This is a A++ team that truly cares about their patients! You will not find another plastic surgeon out there that truly cares about his patients as much as Dr. Hamwi! They deserve 5,000 stars.

My entire life I have had bigger arms than my body, as did my sister. (Thanks mom!) As I age, the skin has sagged. Add having children and the weight gain/loss every time and my arms were at the point of no return. No amount of tricep workouts would budge them. I'm at the stage in my life that I do things more for "me" now than I ever have before because my kids are grown. I started researching how to get rid of these batwings I have and found out about brachioplasty. In all the groups, Dr Hamwi's name came up as the GOAT. I've never seen a bad review. Ever. I did speak with other surgeons but ultimately wanted the best there is and chose Dr Hamwi. I had my surgery Apr 22. I am so impressed with the level of professionalism and care the whole team has given me in recovery. Danaisa, the post op nurse, has been so patient with me. Dumb question? She will answer without making you feel its dumb. Need reassurance? She calls back within minutes. It's not just Dr. Hamwi and Danisa though, it's every single one of them making you feel appreciated, cared for and a part of a family. I can't say enough good things about this practice!

Dr. Hamwi did a superior job on my stomach...it looked like a war zone! I have had 2 open surgeries on my stomach (one emergency); an old C-Section scar, a scar from an ileostomy bag I had for 3 years and some loose skin below my belly button from all those surgeries and having 2 kids! By just removing a small amount of skin he made my stomach look amazing!! Thank you Dr Hamwi! He is experienced, professional, confident and kind! Equal shout out to his nurse, Danaisa. Danaisa did an amazing job with pre and post surgical follow-up. She has years of experience with surgical patients and it shows! Danaisa is also very experienced, professional, competent, calm and kind. She mirrors Dr. Hamwi's demeanor - makes for a winning team! Dr Hamwi and his team have developed an easy and effective protocol for pre and post care. They also do some really helpful things, like picking up the meds I needed after surgery from the pharmacy and bringing them to the surgery center - which was one less thing my sister had to do. They also help to make the meds easier to distinguish by writing what they are on the bottle with a big sharpie which makes them so much easier to know which medicine I am taking. Dr Hamwi did my surgery at the Manatee Surgical Center. I was also very impressed with the care and professionalism I received there. My nurse in recovery told me that after surgery Dr Hamwi came by 2 times to check on me.....she told me "No surgeons do that..none!" She was so impressed with Dr. Hamwi's bedside manner she said she was writing his name down to share with others. I have had a lot of surgeries (not elective ones). I have learned that nurses that work in the surgery realm know the really outstanding surgeons from the average ones. When I was looking for a plastic surgeon to fix the look of my stomach, one of the patterns in Dr Hamwi's reviews that captured my attention was the number of positive reviews from doctors and nurses who had work done by him.

I’ve been going to Florida Plastic Surgery & Medspa every 3 months since July 2024, and I’ve had such a great experience every time. I originally went in for lip filler dissolver after a really bad experience somewhere else, and now I also get Botox in my upper lip (lip flip) and masseters. Sia is amazing. She’s super friendly, professional, and really knows what she’s doing. The best part is how well she understands exactly what I’m trying to say, even when I’m not explaining it perfectly. I always feel like she truly listens and gets it right. I’ve loved my results every time! Everything is always explained clearly, so I never feel unsure about anything. The office is clean, relaxing, and organized, and scheduling is really easy. I like that they send text reminders and make it simple to book my next appointment. One of my favorite things is the before and after pictures; it really helps you see the difference since it’s hard to notice day to day. Also, kind of an unexpected bonus: the lip flip has helped reduce how often I get cold sores. I used to get them all the time, and now it’s only once in a while. I definitely recommend them and will keep coming back!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sia. Her knowledge of aesthetic treatments, facial anatomy, and the art of enhancing natural beauty is truly exceptional. She has an amazing eye for balance, symmetry, and subtle refinement, creating results that look beautiful, refreshed, and completely natural — and not overdone. What sets her apart is not only her advanced skill and precision, but also the time she takes to educate, listen, and customize treatments to each person. Her understanding of facial structure and aging is impressive, and it is clear she is passionate about both safety and artistry. Sia combines professionalism, warmth, and expertise in a way that makes me feel comfortable and confident in her care. Her results have consistently exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for someone with outstanding aesthetic talent, extensive knowledge, and a genuine commitment to helping clients look and feel their best, I highly recommend her.

How Is Awake Liposuction Performed?

1. During your awake liposuction procedure, Dr. Hamwi will create small incisions in your skin that are about half the size of a grain of rice.

Image of stomach

2. From these incisions, medicated fluid is injected into the fat layer. This fluid numbs the area and causes the capillaries in the fat to contract, minimizing bleeding.

inforgraphic

3. A small tube called a cannula is inserted into the incisions to remove the fat, using a back-and-forth motion through the fat. Take a visual look at before during and after the procedure:

Unlike other fat removal modalities that rely on the body to absorb the eliminated fat over time, with liposuction, that fat is immediately removed and collected.

Fat Removed During Liposuction Procedure

Is Everyone a Candidate for Awake Liposuction?

Awake surgery is not always the best option for every patient, and other treatment options may be better suited. A person’s health, medical history, and desired outcome are always considered when pursuing an aesthetic treatment. During your consultation, you will be able to discuss your aesthetic goals and will then be evaluated to determine how your particular anatomy will respond to treatment. For patients considering awake liposuction, we evaluate:

The structure underneath the fat and how it affects the shape of the body
The thickness and location of the fat to be removed
The condition of the skin overlying the area of Liposuction’s biggest drawback is that it does not directly address loose skin and, in some cases, can make issues with the skin worse. In these situations, other procedures may be indicated; see Tummy tuck or Renuvion

Liposuction can reduce fat thickness significantly, but it is not a good weight loss tool by itself. Rather, liposuction is better at sculpting specific areas. If you are looking to address fat over the entirety of your body, traditional weight loss may be a better option.

What Are The Potential Complications with Liposuction?

While liposuction is considered extremely safe, complications are possible and should be considered before deciding to pursue a procedure. Most complications associated with liposuction are aesthetic and do not affect your health, such as resulting looseness in the skin or irregularities. Other potential issues involve scarring at or below the skin, bleeding, infection, sensory nerve problems, or injury to deeper structures. While extremely rare, it is also possible to have reactions to the medications that are used that could be potentially life-threatening.

How to Prepare for Your Awake Liposuction Procedure

Being in good health before your surgery is important. If you have any medical conditions, they should be discussed with your surgeon ahead of time, and clearance from your Primary Medical Provider may be necessary, along with indicated lab work. Discuss any medications you take and if they should be continued or discontinued as the procedure approaches. You will be provided with a list of herbal medications that should be stopped at least 2 weeks prior to your procedure, as they may affect your body’s ability to clot. Some patients may consider taking supplements that aid in healing or reduce inflammation. As the medical literature is mixed about the effectiveness of supplements, Dr. Hamwi does not always recommend them.

Dr. Hamwi can provide you with additional information about supplements that may be considered to aid healing. It is Dr. Hamwi’s opinion that liposuction is best performed when you are at an average weight or a little heavy. This allows the fat to be removed a little more completely. Then, when you lose weight afterward, the results look even better. Make sure that you have arranged for someone who can drop you off and pick you up after surgery and assist you as necessary for the first few days after the procedure. Depending on the area being treated, patients may need assistance putting on their compression garments for the first few days after the procedure. For a more detailed description of how to prepare, please see our attached pre-operative instructions.

Awake Liposuction Recovery

Your liposuction recovery will depend on the area being treated. Under most circumstances, for larger treatment areas, we typically recommend taking at least four days off from work. The area that we treat will be sore, and you will have discomfort for approximately 2-3 weeks that may limit your activity level. The treated area and the area surrounding it will swell to some extent, but bruising is typically minimal. As you continue to heal, your swelling and discomfort will dissipate, but it usually takes 6 weeks or more for all of the swelling to resolve before you start to see your final results. While liposuction recovery is not incapacitating, it does require that you follow close guidelines in order to achieve the best possible results.

We typically recommend that these guidelines be followed for 6 weeks after the procedure. Swelling is a normal part of the healing process, but if it is excessive, it can compromise your results. For this reason, it is recommended that swelling be controlled through compression, avoidance of exertional or prolonged activities, and manual massage. Depending on the area being treated, a compression garment will be provided. In most cases, it is advised that this be worn for 6 weeks. Sometimes an additional layer of foam will be provided to be applied under the garment for the first 10-14 days. For a more detailed list description of the post-operative instructions. Various scar treatments are available for the small skin incisions. These are not necessary unless you desire. Dr. Hamwi can provide you with some recommendations after surgery.

Your Sarasota Awake Liposuction Results

Following your awake liposuction procedure, many patients will notice improvements to their figures immediately. However, you will also experience swelling and bruising that obscure your true results. While residual swelling may take several weeks to fully resolve, you will see continued improvements to your figure as your body heals and adjusts to its new contours. By maintaining your healthy weight and lifestyle, you will continue to experience long-lasting results from awake liposuction.

Awake Liposuction Frequently Asked Questions

How much does awake liposuction cost in Florida?

Awake liposuction cost is determined by individual needs and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Hamwi will provide an estimate for your awake liposuction cost in Florida.

How long is awake liposuction recovery?

Typically, most patients do not have a lengthy recovery period and can return to most jobs in three to five days. However, you may need to avoid strenuous activities, such as exercise, for approximately four to six weeks.

How long will my awake liposuction results last?

You can experience long-lasting results from your awake liposuction procedure by maintaining your ideal, stable weight through your healthy lifestyle choices, including your diet and exercise regimen.

What is awake liposuction?

Awake liposuction refers to a technique of performing liposuction on an area that has been numbed with an anesthetic, but the patient is not put to sleep. During the procedure, the patient remains awake and interactive. This allows the patient and doctor to move into a variety of positions to better sculpt and evaluate the outcome while the treatment progresses.

Why have awake liposuction?

Dr. Hamwi likes awake liposuction because it allows him to place the patient into multiple lying positions that he can continually change as he performs the treatment. Dr. Hamwi finds that this allows him to get a better sense of the symmetry and shape that he is creating. Awake liposuction also avoids the medications used with general anesthesia. This allows for a faster recovery from anesthesia at the end of the procedure. Patients are able to stand up immediately after the procedure is complete and walk out of the office without assistance.

How is awake liposuction different from traditional liposuction?

When Dr. Hamwi performs liposuction on an awake patient vs. an asleep patient, the procedure is done in the same manner. The main difference in the technique is that Dr. Hamwi will ask an awake patient to hold certain positions that they couldn’t do if they were asleep. Also, when a procedure is done awake, the patient can stand up to evaluate the shape, contours, and symmetry. We often find that a body shape will look different when the patient is standing up compared to lying down. This also allows us to evaluate for any small irregularities that may not be evident when a patient lies down.

What areas can be treated with awake liposuction?

Any areas that can be treated with asleep liposuction can be treated awake. Some of the more common areas include the abdomen, hips, waist, flanks, arms, armpits, legs, chest, and chin.

What is Lipo 360?

Liposuction 360 refers to liposuction of the entire torso, which includes the hips, waist, back, and abdomen. You can think of it as everything from under the bra down to the top of the underwear in the front, back, and sides.

Are there limits to how many areas can be treated at once?

Yes, for safety reasons, there are limits to how much fat and how much medicine can be given in one liposuction treatment. This means that if extensive areas need to be treated, they may need to be broken up into separate procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Hamwi will discuss your goals and a treatment plan with you during your consultation.

What are some things liposuction doesn’t treat?

Loose, hanging, or wrinkled skin, back folds, and building stomach muscles (diastasis recti). These things can be treated, but may require a technique other than liposuction. Dr. Hamwi is skilled in these as well.

What makes an ideal candidate for awake liposuction?

Similar to asleep liposuction, awake liposuction tends to work best as a sculpting tool. An ideal candidate for awake liposuction would be someone who is looking to shape their body by decreasing their fat volume in troublesome areas. Because liposuction deflates the skin as fat is removed, patients will either need to have good skin elasticity or be willing to consider a skin-tightening treatment with their liposuction or a skin excision procedure. Patients with loose skin or wrinkles prior to a treatment will find that those problems can get worse after liposuction alone. Patients should also be free of all nicotine products for at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after any surgical procedure, as this increases their risk for serious complications. It is also essential to be in good health prior to any surgical procedure. Make your surgeon aware of any health problems, medications you take, and allergies to medications you may have before your procedure.

Is liposuction a weight loss procedure?

Liposuction should not be used as a weight loss tool but as a mechanism to shape and sculpt the body.

What happens during the procedure? How is it performed?

The areas to be treated are marked in a mirror with the patient so that they can help design the treatment.
Oral medications are administered, and the patient is numbed by injecting a local anesthetic into the fat that will be removed.
Liposuction is then performed by using a small tube called a cannula, which removes the fat.
The patient will roll from front to back, side to side, with various tilts and angles to assist Dr. Hamwi
The patient is continuously evaluated as their results are revealed through the sculpting.
As the procedure concludes, the doctor will stand the patient up, and they will check the results together in the mirror.
A compression garment is put on, and often, a layer of foam is applied, depending on the area treated

What is recovery like?

Patients usually need to take 3-5 days off work. Small areas only need one day
Patients will be sore for approximately 2 weeks, and it is usually 4-6 weeks until they may go back to strenuous physical activity.
The full recovery from liposuction usually takes a total of 6 weeks before you are fully cleared to return to all activity
It is important to give your body this time to rest and recover, as this affects your final results. Recovery includes refraining from strenuous physical activity, wearing the appropriate compression garments, and monitoring the treated areas for swelling or irregularities.

What is the surgery and recovery time?

Surgery time depends on the volume and location of the area being treated, but the average length ranges from 1 to 4 hours. The total recovery time is 6 weeks.
Tenderness lasts for 2-3 weeks, but it takes the body approximately 6 weeks to be fully healed.

How does a patient prepare for liposuction surgery?

A patient can prepare for liposuction by creating realistic goals and finding a good time when the procedure and recovery can fit into one’s life. Making sure that you have the time and support while you heal is necessary to achieve the best results and minimize the chances of a complication.

What sort of scarring is expected after the procedure?

Small incisions are made where the cannula enters during a procedure. These incisions typically heal very well and require minimal care. Incision sites tend to be less than half the size of a grain of rice, but Dr. Hamwi tries to minimize how noticeable these are. Dr. Hamwi tries to place his incisions in places that will be covered by underwear or bras; he also uses a specially designed skin protector that he puts over the incision during surgery to minimize the irritation to the skin from the cannula.

What kind of post-surgical care is involved for the target area?

Post-op care includes wearing your compression garment, reducing your strenuous physical activity, and massaging the treated area as needed.

What kind of follow-up is required after this procedure?

Patients can expect to come back into the office the day after the procedure. We also want to follow their healing at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks following their procedure. We offer virtual follow-up appointments if needed.

How many post-op appointments will I have?

Our patients have a total of 4 scheduled post-operative appointments: 1 day after the procedure, then again at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks. That being said, patients are encouraged to openly communicate with the doctor and office at any time if they ever have any questions or concerns.

What is the scheduling time before surgery?

After your initial consultation, our surgical coordinator will find a time that works with your schedule! Because Dr. Hamwi is typically booked out for several months, it is best to begin your consultation early.

What are the costs, and is financing available?

Liposuction costs typically range from $3,000-$12,000, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

What are your payment terms?

We require a deposit to schedule your procedure. The full amount is due 1 week prior to your surgery. We also participate in financing through Care Credit, offering 0% interest for 6 or 12 months.

What kind of results should a patient expect after the procedure?

Patients will see their results immediately after the procedure is completed. Swelling will occur over the following weeks and will dissipate over the course of the 6-week recovery period.

Are you board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?

Yes, Dr. Hamwi is certified by the American Board of Surgery, the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Board of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

How much experience do you have with awake liposuction?

Dr. Hamwi has been performing awake liposuction since 2009 and has performed thousands of procedures

Can other procedures be done awake?

Yes, Dr. Hamwi specializes in awake arm lifts, tummy tucks, and facelifts

Can liposuction be combined with other plastic surgeries to better meet goals?

Absolutely; liposuction can be used in addition to other procedures in order to meet one’s individual needs. It is often done in conjunction with a tummy tuck, for example.
