I'm scheduled for TT with lipo to hips back flanks using IV sedation and a local. I'm scared I will wake up during surgery. Is IV sedation enough? And what is the local?

Answer: Tummy tuck under local I think the answer depends upon who was performing the procedure. If it is a board certified plastic surgeon (american board of plastic surgery) with extensive experience in this technique, then it is likely okay. If it is a "cosmetic Dr. " certified by some bogus "cosmetic operating" board, then you could be in trouble.Look into this!

Answer: Yes, IV Sedation Is Enough Although tummy tuck surgery can be performed under either IV or General Anesthesia, I prefer the use of IV anesthesia (administered by board certified Anesthesiologists) because patients experience much less nausea and a quicker recovery. A ‘tumescent solution’ numbs the area, the tissues will be really numb and there will be very minimal blood loss. See the web reference to learn more.
