What Is Anesthesia Exactly?
Anesthesia in plastic surgery is a medical procedure that blocks pain during a surgical intervention. Depending on the type of surgery, your physician and the anesthesiologist will decide which option is safest and most appropriate for you.
Types of Anesthesia Used in Cosmetic Surgery
- Local anesthesia: used in minor procedures (e.g., lower blepharoplasty, mole removal).
- Local anesthesia with sedation: the patient is relaxed but does not lose reflexes. Used in intermediate surgeries (otoplasty, deep AmayaPeel®)
- General anesthesia: ideal for more complex procedures such as abdominoplasty, 360 liposculpture, or breast augmentation.

Yes. Especially when:
- It is administered by a certified anesthesiologist.
- A pre-anesthetic evaluation and complete exams are performed.
