04 — Anesthesia Service
Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Anesthesia
Anesthesia for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, planned around comfort, recovery needs and the setting.
About this service
Aesthetic cases call for an anesthetic designed for the recovery room as much as for the operating room. Patients having cosmetic surgery are particularly sensitive to nausea, pain and a slow emergence, and the anesthetic plan is built with that recovery in mind.
Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia may reduce postoperative nausea compared with inhalational anesthesia, and suitable regional techniques may reduce opioid needs. The technique is selected for the individual patient and procedure.
Suitability for an office or surgery center depends on the patient, the procedure, the personnel and equipment available, and the emergency and recovery arrangements. Physician availability, case planning and recovery oversight are discussed when arranging coverage.
