Is the epidural for this procedure (BA, TT, BBL, liposuction) the same or is it different than the one used for labour?

Asked By:EEY in Canada, KY

I have liposuction, TT, BAand a BBL schedule in April. I was told that the anesthesia for the surgery will be done with a an epidural. I have three children ( all natural delivery) with an epidural but unfortunately the epidural did not work on me , I felt everything ! Should this be a concern or is there the options ?
