What kind of anesthesia is typically used for a BBL? (Photo)

Question

I'm planning to have a BBL hopefully before the end of the year, but I wanted to know which anesthetic and route of administration is the safest.

Austin Hayes, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. General anesthesia is the best method to perform BBL surgery. During the procedure there are multiple position changes and it's an overall better experience for the patient to be under general anesthesia. Of course, opinions on this vary between surgeons. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery.

Matthew J. Nykiel, MD · Answer

Hello, I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.

There are pluses and minuses to each type of anesthesia.  All types of standard anesthesia are safe.  In my opinion, I think 360 liposuction and fat grafting is best tolerated when you are sleeping.

If you have any further questions/comments/concerns please reach out.  Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you for your question and photos. You are an excellent candidate for a BBL with VASER Hi Def Lipo. I believe you should base your choice on the technical and artistic ability of your surgeon and go with the anesthesia he/she recommends. I, personally, do these surgeries in my private certified office operating suite under intravenous sedation and tumescent anesthesia only. I do not use general anesthesia and local anesthesia is just not adequate for the aggressive sculpting I do. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation.

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

General anesthesia is used, in general, for liposuction and fat transfer procedures. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
