Skin only mini tummy tuck under local

By now your procedure is likely done and you are well on your way to a smooth recovery.  The key in a procedure like this done with local anesthesia is slow infiltration of the numbing medicine.  Some degree of pain is inevitable, so a little oral sedation prior to the procedure is a nice touch as well.  For my patients who simply prefer to feel "no pain" with the procedure, IV sedation is a great option as well.  Hope you are doing well.  It will be interesting to hear your story as it evolves so I hope you will keep us all updated.  Cheers.

I do this procedure in my office with oral sedation and use small canulae to injection the numbing solution. Most patients do very well with the process.

The local anesthesia is administered via injection. After the anesthesia begins working you may feel pressure but shouldn't feel anything sharp. You may ask for sedation if available to make the procedure more tolerable. It shouldn't significantly prolong your time in recovery.
