Did You Know That All of Our Surgeries Can Be Done Awake?

If you have special fears of anesthetic, we can perform your surgery under local anesthesia, even a tummy tuck. We do give some oral medicines and perhaps a shot prior to the main event, to be sure that you’re nice and relaxed and not afraid. However, the local anesthetic does the trick for the pain relief, and you can watch the whole thing.

We have successfully performed breast augmentations, liposuctions, tummy tucks, facelifts, and eyelid procedures all under pure local anesthetic technique. If fear of general anesthetic is your issue, please be sure to ask us about this possibility.

While we’re able to do the above, we generally feel that a little intravenous sedation is appropriate for most patients and they usually do respond very well without any nausea or other discomfort. We can keep you comfortable and unaware of your surroundings without using all the drugs and so on that make general anesthetic such an uncomfortable and possibly hazardous experience. Ask us about our anesthetic techniques when you come in for your consultation.

Dr. Yoho Performs Pure Local Anesthetic Liposuction Too

Dr. Yoho on the edge

Although most of our patients like some sort of light sedation, we can do breast augmentation, liposuction, and eyelid procedures with pure local anesthetic. We often will give a relaxation pill prior to this, but local anesthetic does the job, and if you’re a calm and relaxed individual who doesn’t want any intravenous medicine, we’re certainly happy to help you using the pure local anesthetic liposuction technique. A few of our patients choose this method, and we can make you perfectly comfortable with it. It does take a little bit of talking during the procedure and hand-holding, but pain isn’t a significant problem at all; in fact, most of our patients have no pain and are able to go home almost immediately after the procedure is complete. Please let us know if this is what you want and we’ll be happy to oblige you.
