Plastic Surgery Anesthesia
During cosmetic plastic surgery, there are usually three basic types of anesthesia used: local injection, intravenous sedation and general anesthesia.
You and Dr. Babak Azizzadeh will determine which method is suitable for your procedure and you individual needs.
By impairing nerve function, a local injection numbs the immediate area that is going to be operated on. Feeling disappears quickly, but you may still feel pressure and movement in your tissues. Local injections are used most commonly is less-invasive procedures.
Local injection with sedation allows the patient to stay awake throughout the procedure, yet stay relaxed. Depending on the type of sedation, you may not remember the operation. Sedation takes some time to wear off. Someone may need to monitor you following surgery, while you are recovering.
General anesthesia is administered intravenously. This method allows a patient to sleep during the entire procedure and is typically used when large areas of your body are being augmented, or when children are undergoing plastic surgery. Some general anesthesia medications take several days to fully wear off.
