**3.2 Anesthesia options**

• The type of anesthesia can be decided based on the preference of the patient and the surgeon, the amount of fat and the necessity of ancillary surgical procedures to be applied. If it is a limited volume liposuction and no additional surgical procedures is planned then, local and regional anesthesia may be the

type of anesthesia chosen. If it is going to be a large volume liposuction and h additional surgical procedures will be added then, general anesthesia may be preferred. The importance of fluid replacement should be kept in mind throughout surgery. And it is crucial especially for mega volume liposuction.
