Which is better, IV sedation or general anesthesia for full Tummy Tuck & Liposuction?

I perform tummy tuck and liposuction under general anesthesia at an outpatient facility.  This works well for me.  Others may have different opinions.  Please seek a consultation by a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Trey Aquadro, M.D.Auburn, AL

In my opinion, General Anesthesia during Tummy Tuck and Liposuction -- is the safest and most comfortable for patient. Once all the blood work is performed, and/or clearance is presented-- a Board Certified Anesthesiologist administers the anesthesia. Always seek a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with years of experience!
