Is Anesthesia for Plastic Surgery a thing of the past?

around lunchtime of March 28th, 2006

 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:
 

Mini Facelift:  Look about 10 years younger in about 90 minutes.
 

 Blepharoplasty (eye lifts):  Removes the tired look from your eyes.
 

 Browlift:  Get those beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
 

 Lip Augmentation (with Alloderm): For Plump full lips in about 30 minutes. 

 

 Liposuction: Remove unwanted fat.
 

 Mini-Tummy Tuck: Tighten up the lower abdomen and remove some excess skin.
 

 T-shaped Brachioplasty (arm lift): Remove excess skin from the arms.
 

 Buttock Lift: Lift and tighten the buttocks.
 

 Back Lift: The back equivalent of a tummy tuck.

 

 Regional Thigh Lift (inner or outer thighs):  Tighten up those thighs.
 

 Otoplasty (reshape the ears): For ears that stick out….soften their appearance.

 

 Exchange Breast Implants: Remove and replace with similar sized Breast Implants.

 

 Injection Rhinoplasty with Radiesse: Reshape the nose without surgery using Radiesse…it lasts about 2 years.

 

 Facial Skeletal Sculpting with Radieese: Cheeks, Chin, Jaws reshsped with Radiesse injections.
 

 Chemical Peels:  For soft smooth skin.
 

 Hair Transplants: For male and female hair loss.
 

 Scalp Reductions: To decrease the bald area before hair transplants.
 

 Scar Revisions: Improve the appearance of a scar.
 

 Botox: Soften lines and wrinkles.
 

 Restylane: Fill in folds of face…plump up the lips.
 

 Collagen: Similar to Restylane uses.

 The list grows each day……will general anesthesia become obsolete……..perhaps some day!
