Hi, I am meeting with a doctor that performs lower eyelid surgery under local and twilight anesthesia. I stupidly watched the surgery performed on online, and there is no way I want to know what's going on. I am scared I'd panic during the procedure. Is there anyway I'd be aware enough to panic?

Answer: Blepharoplasty This is a procedure that is very amenable to local or twilight anesthesia. Either of these involves some sedation, depending on the patient's needs. Please be open and honest with your surgeon about your apprehension when scheduling your surgery so that these needs are appropriately addressed.

Answer: Nervous about anesthesia for blepharoplasty Sedation anesthesia (a.k.a. twilight anesthesia) is a great choice for upper and lower blepharoplasty. Although these procedures can be performed under local anesthesia, various degrees of apprehension is normal before such a surgery. General anesthesia ('totally asleep" with intubation), although possible, seems a bit much for such a procedure.

Answer: Twilight Anesthesia The twilight anesthesia can be very deep as well where you can be relaxed and not even remember most of the surgery. You should make your surgeon aware of your apprehension and let her/him decide what will be best in your case. RegardsDr J
