Patients often wonder if it is truly possible to have their cosmetic procedure done under local anesthesia, at Evolution MD we are proud to offer patients procedures under local & general anesthesia. More and more patients everyday are choosing local anesthesia because of its many benefits, it decreases the amount of bleeding during surgery when compared to general anesthesia and because of this your recovery is faster and swelling is less. During local anesthesia patients are awake under a twilight sedation which many times causes them relax enough to fall asleep during their surgery. Patients don’t really experience any pain or discomfort, and if they do the Doctor and assistants are in constant communication to provide more anesthesia to the area of the body being worked on.
General anesthesia involves patients to be completely unconscious during surgery. The medications are given by a certified anesthesiologist and it includes placement of a breathing tube and breathing anesthetic gas. Different side effects come with general anesthesia, some patients fell nausea, headaches or weakness after general anesthesia.
Choosing which method is best for you has a lot to do with what procedure you are having done, some procedures just simply cannot be done under local anesthesia and for patient’s safety are done under general. Another thing that affects the decision is the patients’ health, you must be completely heathy and cleared for surgery in order to have general anesthesia. Speaking to the Doctor about your options and analyzing your personal lifestyle will help you make the best decision, at Evolution MD our patients safety and well being is our priority. #drlipo #drvelilla #evolutionmd #plasticsurgery #lipo #liposuction #liposculpture #liposculpting #bbl #tummytuck #breastaug #vaserlipo #vaserliposuction #vaser #therealdrlipo #plasticsurgerymiami #anesthesia #anesthesiologist #anesthetic #surgery #surgeryrecovery #frequent #asked #questions
