What Types of Anesthesia is offered by Dr. Bivik Shah at the Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery?

Having plastic surgery today is safer than ever before! One of the biggest area of advances is in the type of anesthesia offered by plastic surgeons for our plastic surgery patients. There are three main types of anesthesia for plastic surgery patients.

Local only – or numbing medication only

This type of anesthesia is the safest. With this type of anesthesia for plastic surgery, the area that is being worked on, is numbed by injecting numbing medication (usually Lidocaine) in the area that is being worked on. This will make the area completely numb, so that you will feel nothing. The best part is that there is no recovery from the anesthesia so you can drive.

Twilight anesthesia or IV Sedation

Twilight anesthesia is where you have a iv put in- usually your arm, and then during the plastic surgery you will receive medication through your iv to help you relax and make you a little groggy. You will not be put to sleep. This means that you do not have the risk of general anesthesia and you will not have to recover from general anesthesia. You will need someone to drive you home.

General Anesthesia

This is where you are completely sleeping. You do not hear, see, or feel anything during this type of anesthesia. We have a board certified anesthesiologist that will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and other important checks to make sure you are completely out and safe. You will need someone to drive you home afterwards.
