I had a consult with a plastic surgeon for a "mommy makeover", I am having a tummy tuck and breast enhancements at the same time. He stated he can do both the same day, using local anesthetic. Just want to know if this is safe to do, and if anyone has done this, how it went, and results were.
Answer: Can I have a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation done under local anesthetic and sedation? No. Very dangerous. Too much local anesthetic would be toxic. General anesthesia is what I recommend because it is easier and more comfortable for the patient, especially with this type of procedure.

Answer: Having a mommy makeover was less than general anesthesia. These operations can be performed without general anesthesia but not in the best interest of the patient. I personally would not offer this to you.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Under Local Anesthesia? You can technically do these procedures under local however it is not always what is best for you and your results. Whether you are a candidate to have this done depends on the extent of surgery required. This will require a very experienced anesthesiologist and surgeon. #Plasticsurgeryunderlocal #MommyMakeover #PlasticSurgery

Answer: Can I have a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation done under local anesthetic and sedation? Thank you for your question. I perform mommy makeover operations in an out patient surgery center, and under general anesthesia only. I work with Board Certified Anesthesiologists who monitor my patients so as to provide the safest environment. These are extensive procedures and I would recommend general anesthesia so that you are as comfortable/safe/immobile as possible during the procedures.I hope this, and the attacked link, helps. Best wishes.

Answer: Local anesthesia for a tummy tuck and breast implants? Wow, that is really asking a lot. Technically it can be done, but why? General anesthesia nowadays is so safe, you go to sleep at the start of the case and you wake up and it is over. No pain, no sounds, no smells, no discomfort. What would happened if you moved during the local anesthesia or you had to urinate (pee), I can't imagine how uncomfortable that would be. I'm sure it would comprise the result of your surgery. Some people refer to a deep sedation as local anesthesia, I wonder if that is what is being proposed to you. I would be very clear on what type of anesthesia is being given and who is giving it. Is this person board certified in anesthesia? Is the facility national accredited? Is the plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? If any of these questions are no, then you need a second opinion.Good Luck!
