The choice of anesthesia depends on various factors, including the extent of the procedure and your comfort level. Ankle liposuction can typically be performed using local anesthesia with or without sedation, allowing you to remain awake during the procedure while numbing the treatment area. This approach offers several advantages, including a quicker recovery time and reduced risks associated with general anesthesia. However, it’s important to note that each case is unique, and your surgeon will determine the most appropriate anesthesia option based on your specific needs and preferences.
