I am starting to get in my head about my surgeon doing twilight anesthesia. He explained the process to me, and his success with it for a long time. I have the option of going under general anesthesia with an anesthesiologist if I want to. I do like the idea of not having to go through general anesthesia, but I also feel a little uneasy since twilight doesn’t seem as common. Is twilight anesthesia safe? Should I be worried? Why would a surgeon prefer this method? Thank you for your help!!

Answer: Safety first Twilight anesthesia is a great option provided that you have a board certified anesthesiologist providing it.The official medical term for this is sedation. Sedation can be quite deep or light. I perform many procedures under sedation performed by anesthesiologists that really know how to do it well. I can do many surgeries with excellent comfort for the patient and the patient recovers much more quickly from anesthesia.

Answer: Twilight for breast surgery This is a very acceptable option for breast augmentation. Certainly a twilight anesthetic has certain advantages but the procedure can be done successfully with either a twilight or a general anesthetic. I personally prefer twilight but the best option is the option that works well with you and your operating surgeon. Please feel comfortable because this is a very safe way to have your breast augmentation. Good luck!
