The approach

What is awake liposuction?

Awake liposuction uses local tumescent anesthesia to numb the treatment area while the patient remains conscious. This approach allows body contouring without general anesthesia.

Medication for relaxation may also be provided when appropriate.

Dr. Cohen's signature approach

Liposuction combined with advanced laser & RF skin tightening.

Removing fat is only part of the result. Combining liposuction with skin tightening is a central part of Dr. Cohen's surgical approach.

When appropriate, he pairs precise fat removal with advanced laser or radiofrequency (RF) skin-tightening technology, including Quantum RF. These techniques may help improve tissue contraction and contour definition.

Results depend on individual skin quality and anatomy.
