Choosing the right anaesthesia is crucial for your comfort and safety. Here is everything you need to know about your options.
At Kalosa, every anaesthesia decision is made by a board-certified anaesthesiologist after thorough pre-operative assessment.
A large volume of diluted lidocaine with epinephrine is infiltrated directly into the fat layer. This numbs the treatment area completely while you remain awake. The solution also constricts blood vessels, significantly reducing blood loss and bruising.
Best for: Small to medium areas — chin, arms, isolated flanks, or knees. Patients who prefer to avoid general anaesthesia.
Recovery: Fastest recovery of all options. Most patients resume desk work within 2–3 days.
Safest ProfileCombines local tumescent anaesthesia with intravenous sedation administered by an anaesthesiologist. You enter a relaxed, drowsy state (twilight sedation) but do not require intubation or a breathing tube. This offers comfort without the depth of general anaesthesia.
Best for: Medium areas, anxious patients, or those treating 2–3 areas. Provides comfort without the risks of general anaesthesia.
Recovery: Slightly longer observation post-procedure. Discharge same day with escort.
Most PopularFull anaesthesia where you are completely unconscious throughout the procedure. Administered by a senior anaesthesiologist with continuous monitoring of all vital parameters including ECG, SpO2, EtCO2, and invasive blood pressure when needed.
Best for: Large-volume liposuction, multi-area treatment (3+ zones), HD liposuction, or procedures combined with tummy tuck or BBL.
Recovery: Overnight hospital stay recommended. Full monitoring until discharge criteria are met.
For Complex ProceduresAnaesthesia safety at Kalosa begins long before surgery day. Every patient undergoes comprehensive pre-operative diagnostic tests including CBC, coagulation profile, ECG, and cardiac evaluation when indicated.
All procedures at Kalosa Aesthetics are supported by board-certified anaesthesiologists with 10+ years of experience in cosmetic surgery anaesthesia. No procedure is ever performed without a dedicated anaesthetist present.
The choice depends on the number of areas, total fat volume to be removed, your medical history, and personal comfort level. Dr. Rajiv Verma and the anaesthesia team discuss all options during your free consultation.
