More and more of our patients are opting to do their plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures under a local infiltration without anesthesia.  It seems that people don’t want that woozy feeling that you get after a general anesthetic…the nausea….the groggy feeling…who needs it!  We have been performing more and more surgeries under a novacaine-like injection. 

 Procedures that can be done under Novacaine-like local infiltration without anesthesia:
