Cosmetic surgery must be pain free.  To have painless procedures, plastic surgeons often use general anesthesia, where a breathing tube is placed and your brain is basically anesthetized.  This type of anesthesia is important for liposuction, tummy tucks, and most  breast procedures.  But general anesthesia has risks, particularly cardiac problems and postoperative nausea.  So, when possible, intravenous sedation, using propofol and versed, is used.  Face and eyelid lifts are procedures that often are done under IV sedation.  And finally, some procedures can be done with you wide awake, using only lidocaine local anesthesia.  Mole and scar revisions can be done that way, and with the proper patients, eyelid lifts, small liposuctions, and procedures like chin impalnts can also be done under local anesthesia.  On this show, we discuss the various types of anesthesia used for cosmetic surgery.
