Who This Course Is Built For
This is a fit if you're
+A board-certified plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or dermatologic surgeon
+Already performing liposuction or facelift under general anesthesia
+Looking to differentiate your practice in a competitive local market

This isn't the right fit if you're
-Outside your appropriate scope of practice for these procedures
-Looking for a substitute for hands-on, proctored surgical training
-Not currently ACLS certified or unwilling to maintain that certification
-Expecting specific dosing or injection-technique instruction from a video course
What Physicians Are Saying
Dr. Hansen's course on Awake Cosmetic Surgery is by far the most through and complete coarse I have ever seen on the subject. He covers all aspects of local anesthesia for the most common Face/Neck Lifts and Liposuctions and instructs you how to do it easily and safely. The videos are amazing! You will not find a better coarse anywhere!!

Prepared By Dr. Hansen, MD
Dr. Hansen has spent 39 years in plastic surgery, building a Beverly Hills practice around liposuction, facelift, and cosmetic procedures — with a growing focus on doing them awake, under local anesthesia, instead of defaulting to general anesthesia.
That clinical focus grew into Cosmetic Surgery Awake, a platform built on the same principle behind this course: patients do better when they understand exactly what's happening to them, and physicians build stronger practices when they're transparent about both the medicine and the fee.
