I am going to have a tummy tuck revision on a dog ear and I was wondering if I should just go under or do local. I have a decent pain tolerance. It doesn't seem like a big fix. As a surgeon what do you prefer or suggest.
Answer: General or local anesthesia For smaller procedures such as the dog ear revision that you are considering local anesthesia is often adequate. We also offer Pro Nox to our patients who a little anxious prior to the revision. Speak with your surgeon on what is recommended for you.

Answer: This can be corrected with a scar revision and can be done under local anesthesia. Abdominoplasty scars can be quite complex, ranging from the simple hypertrophic scar to a multiplane inflamed keloid. Pigmentation, discoloration, chronic inflammation, scar visibility can all occur in the short term. We begin each treatment with combination therapy using Yellow broadband BBL, Vbeam, fractional erbium, intralesional IIT, and scar modulation. Start with a combination of Plato's Scar Serum massaged twice daily after one week of epithelialization followed by Luminase/Exfolase. Scar consultation and revision may be recommended.

Answer: Tummy tuck I like doing it under local anesthesia. It allows the patient to lie in there which makes it easier.

Answer: Dog ear revision As long as your pain tolerance is good, you can have this done under local anesthesia. This is not a big revision, so the option is up to you.
