What kind of anesthesia is used?
Drs. M. and J. Patel perform surgery under most types of anesthesia: local anesthesia, intravenous sedation (“twilight”), general anesthesia and regional anesthesia (nerve blocks). The method of anesthesia used is based on the patient and surgeon’s preference. Most cosmetic procedures require intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Patient safety is our first priority and therefore most of these cases are performed in the hospital setting under the supervision of a Board certified anesthesiologist.
