The
traditional general anesthesia is no longer necessary!
Therefore
less risk!
The technology and progress made in sedation has helped make
extensive cosmetic procedures possible without the side effects
of general anesthesia.
In the past, correction of the body contour involved lengthy,
severe, high-risk surgery. Such operation required a general
anesthesia and a stay in hospital - and a blood transfusion was
often necessary.
The long hospitalization and recovery period had repercussions
on the patient’s socio-professional activities.
Recovering
after an intravenous sedation is quicker!
Nowadays, with the discovery of
intravenous sedation, tumescent infiltration, and
the use of
more efficient painkillers,
the traditional general
anesthesia
is no longer necessary, loss of blood is
limited and consequently the recovery period is reduced.
Contrary to
traditional narcosis, whereby a tube is brought into the throat and
connected to a breathing apparatus, you actually breathe on your own.
While you sleep you breathe and swallow independently and feel no pain.
Technology, together with advances in
sedation, makes extensive cosmetic surgery possible without the side effects
of general
anesthesia. During
an operation under intravenous sedation, you are asleep and you feel no
pain.
A few hours after the surgery you feel fine and have been spared the side
effects of general anesthesia.
Intravenous sedation has made surgeries safer.
Combined procedures are less expensive in terms of hospital costs as well as
social and professional disruption. This makes it, for instance, possible to
have breast reduction surgery and at the same time lipo-sculpture and facial
rejuvenation.
