The Awake Approach

By using a personalized combination of anti-anxiety medications, local and topical numbing agents, and light sedation, patients can undergo procedures while awake, relaxed, and free from the risks and recovery associated with “going under.”

Dr. Mohan has extensive experience performing a variety of plastic surgery procedures in this awake setting, creating a low-stress, comfortable environment focused on patient safety and care.

Why Choose an Awake, In-Office Procedure Over General Anesthesia?

Opting for a procedure with light sedation in the office setting, rather than general anesthesia, offers several advantages:

  • No need for an IV
  • Reduced drowsiness after the procedure
  • Faster recovery time with fewer side effects
  • Minimized risk of post-operative nausea
  • Significant cost savings—many procedures are more affordable when performed in the office, often costing less than half of what they would with general anesthesia.

Why Choose General Anesthesia Over In-Office Treatment?

For some procedures, general anesthesia remains the preferred option and is very safe when used for the right patient. In cases involving a large treatment area, it can be challenging to administer enough numbing medication safely. For other procedures, it’s important to have the patient asleep to ensure maximum safety, such as preventing excessive movement, closely monitoring hydration, and providing a comfortable experience without excessive anxiety.

General anesthesia is selected when necessary to enhance the safety of the procedure and ensure a positive experience. We conduct a thorough pre-operative evaluation, and Dr. Mohan has personally chosen all of his anesthesia providers to ensure that we offer the safest and most effective care possible when general anesthesia is required.

What Procedures Can Be Done In-Office Without General Anesthesia?

  • Upper eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty
  • Upper lip lifts
  • One or two areas of liposuction—common areas treated in the office are the love handles, arms, upper back, abdomen, and submental region for neck contouring
  • Facial fat grafting for natural facial filler
  • Ear surgery for stretched or torn ear lobes, or keloids of the ear
  • Labiaplasty for vaginal rejuvenation
  • Treatment of axillary breast tissue that occurs in the armpit
  • Scar revisions
  • Removal of cysts or skin lesions
  • Dr. Raj’s signature lunchtime neck lift, aka “RM” (rapid mini) neck lift
  • Inverted nipple repair
  • Areolar reduction on the breast
  • Otoplasty (ear pinning)

I initially chose Dr. Raja for numerous reasons. The most important being that he is board certified, not all plastic surgeons are. I called several different local plastic surgeons throughout the Dallas metroplex and was discouraged either because they weren't board certified, if they were more "popular" they would charge more or I simply just didn't get a good vibe. I am a question asker and a researcher. I really do my homework before I let anyone performe any work anywhere on my body. The last thing I want, or need, is to end up on the TV show "Botched." I also believe you have an intuition for a reason and after meeting with Dr. Raja in person it just felt right. He took his time, was on time (a HUGE pet peeve of mine is respect for my time), and he answered every single question I had. He showed me plenty of photographs and gave his advice on what procedure would work best for my desired result. He is also very meticulous pre-surgery, as well, which some might find "bothersome" or "annoying" but I applaud him for this trait. He made sure all blood work was complete, he reviewed my medical history in detail and made sure I was healthy enough for the surgery. He isn't a doctor that will simply "take the job, to make a buck." If you don't qualify he will turn you away. His work will prove his talent but this, in itself, proves his great character. I now not only have found a wonderful plastic surgeon but a friend as well. I know I can count on him if I ever need him medically for anything in the future. A good doctor can be found anywhere but a great person is just icing on the top.

Dr. Raja Mohan = the best. He is very professional, knowledgeable, caring and any procedure that he performs is not painful. My recovery after my surgery was smooth and fast. Everyone that works at his office is very polite, professional and caring as well.

Dr Raja is amazing! He doesn't seem like one of those surgeons just out to make money. I went in for a consult and he kept it real with me and gave me recommendations based on his extensive knowledge and love for what he does. He patiently answered all my questions and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Raj’s nurse injector. It was my first time getting filler and she was very confident and comforting. My lips turned out great!
