Make sure your've got an Anesthesiologist

G. Gregory Gallico III, MD answers: Pain during cosmetic eye surgery despite sedation?

Is there a chance you feel pain with I.V. sedation in eye cosmetic surgery? I'm considering a Brow lift and lower Blepharoplasty, but I'm worried that I will feel some pain during the procedure.

Sedation and local can be fine foreyelid surgery, but youhave to make sure it's being done right. You should have a board certified anestheioslogist doing the anesthesia. An operating rooom is preferable, but an office OR is OK if their is an anesthesiologist. Don't accept shortcuts or you'll be taking unnecessary risks.
