PLASTIC04 Dec Awake Liposuction by Dr. Perry Gdalevitch
Awake liposuction is an innovative approach to body contouring that allows patients to remain conscious and comfortable throughout their procedure. Instead of using general anesthesia, Dr. Perry Gdalevitch performs awake liposuction under local anesthesia at her Mont-Royal clinic, PHI Surgery — giving patients a safe, effective, and more personalized experience.
During the procedure, the treatment areas are numbed with tumescent solution, and gentle suction removes unwanted fat from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or neck. Because you’re awake, you can reposition slightly or communicate with Dr. Gdalevitch to ensure the sculpting feels symmetrical and natural.
Awake liposuction is ideal for patients who want real results without the risks or downtime of traditional surgery. Most return to normal activities within a few days, and swelling fades gradually over several weeks. The results — a smoother, more defined contour — are long-lasting when maintained with healthy habits.
At PHI Surgery, awake liposuction can also be combined with Lipo 360 or mini tummy tuck procedures for enhanced definition. Dr. Gdalevitch tailors each plan to body shape, goals, and fat distribution, ensuring natural proportions and subtle refinement.
If you’re seeking body sculpting with minimal downtime and maximum precision, awake liposuction offers a modern alternative with exceptional comfort and control.
