How S.L.A.E. Silhouette Delivers Refined Results Without General Anesthesia

Many people are interested in fat removal procedures but hesitate due to concerns about anesthesia, discomfort, and long recovery times. If you’re one of them, there’s a modern solution worth exploring: awake liposuction using S.L.A.E. Silhouette. This unique body-contouring approach helps reshape your figure without general anesthesia.

At Stutman Plastic Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ, Dr. Ross Stutman performs advanced body contouring treatments, including S.L.A.E. Silhouette (Stutman Liposuction Aesthetic Experience), a minimally invasive, in-office fat removal procedure designed to deliver refined, natural-looking results. He earned his undergraduate degree cum laude from the University of Arizona and completed his medical degree at Loyola University Chicago, Stritch School of Medicine. He completed his plastic surgery residency at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, where he served as Chief Resident. 

How Awake Liposuction Works with S.L.A.E. Silhouette

This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain relaxed and alert. Using precise techniques, Dr. Stutman targets unwanted fat while sculpting smooth, natural curves. The process is designed to minimize trauma to surrounding tissues and reduce post-procedure discomfort.

Patients typically walk out the same day with less swelling and bruising than traditional liposuction performed under general anesthesia.

Benefits of Liposuction Without General Anesthesia

Patients often find awake liposuction appealing for its convenience and lower-intensity recovery process. Here’s what makes S.L.A.E. Silhouette stand out:

• No hospital stay: Treatments are performed in-office, avoiding the added cost and formality of a hospital or surgery center.
• Easier early recovery: Local anesthesia avoids the grogginess and nausea sometimes associated with general anesthesia, helping many patients feel well enough to resume daily activities sooner.
• Fewer anesthesia-related risks: Not using general anesthesia may reduce the chance of certain complications.
• Comfortable experience: Many patients find using local numbing agents sufficient to manage discomfort.

These advantages can make awake liposuction a compelling option for individuals seeking a more convenient and less intensive body-contouring experience.

What to Expect During Local Anesthesia Liposuction

During your appointment, a numbing solution is administered to the treatment area. Once you’re comfortable, Dr. Stutman begins the fat removal and sculpting process. The procedure usually takes one to three hours, depending on the treated area.

Most patients describe the experience as surprisingly easy, with many returning home shortly after the appointment to rest comfortably.
