Question
Hello
team, re
your recent email...why general anesthesia - as I understand it
liposuction
is generally performed with mild local anesthetic into the
tissues
worked on.
I
thought the entrance sites were very tiny and were left open
to drain
and
there were no stitches. Is this correct or not?
I
would appreciate your input on these questions.
Sincerely
M.

Answer
Our doctors
recommend the local anesthesia for smaller procedure on one or
two areas.
For more than
two areas a mild general anesthesia is more indicated and
recommended for the better comfort.
In terms of
risks every type of anesthesia has its own plus and minus.
With a local anesthesia in tumescent technique
on more than one area, a relatively great quantity of anesthetic and pre-solving
liquids has to be injected into the areas to be corrected, which stretches and stresses the tissues
and in the worst case could cause a skin relaxation after the
procedure. The advantage of the local anesthesia lies in the
more simple procedure, faster recovery and in some cases in
the saved costs.
The
incisions: The incisions left are very thin, only a
few millimeters long. They will be stabilized with only one
single stitch, to allow to drain. Auto-dissolvable stitches
are applied, which don't need to be extra removed.
