Every day, more people choose to transform their bodies through cosmetic surgery. At My Cosmetic Surgery, the most renowned aesthetic clinic in the United States, we welcome hundreds of patients each month. They come to enhance their figure and boost their self-confidence.
One of the most common questions during a first consultation is: What type of anesthesia will be used during my surgery?
What Is General Anesthesia?
General anesthesia places the patient in a deep sleep-like state, keeping them completely unconscious during the entire procedure. This sedation ensures full muscle relaxation and a total loss of awareness. Therefore, patients remember nothing when they wake up.
Medical professionals can administer general anesthesia in two ways:
- Through inhalation – patients breathe in anesthetic gases
- Intravenously – anesthesia enters directly into the bloodstream
Doctors usually recommend general anesthesia for complex surgeries when local numbing isn’t effective or safe.
When Do We Use General Anesthesia?
Doctors rely on general anesthesia when a procedure requires complete immobility and precise control. Under this sedation, the patient:
- Remains fully still
- Experiences no pain
- Uses an artificial respirator
Additionally, a specialized anesthesiologist monitors the patient’s vital signs throughout the entire procedure. They check heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and ECG activity to ensure maximum safety.
Which Procedures Involve General Anesthesia?
At My Cosmetic Surgery, we use general anesthesia for several advanced treatments, such as:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
- Breast Augmentation
- Mommy Makeover
- Liposuction with Fat Transfer
- Other facial and body surgeries that require deeper sedation
These procedures demand high precision and a relaxed surgical environment, making general anesthesia essential.
