What’s better epidural anesthesia or general anesthesia for liposuction and BBL?

Although the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, this procedure can be extraordinarily painful for the patient.  You want the most dramatic transformation possible, and you do not want to be in pain.

Hi. Of course Epidural is a less risky anesthetic technique for any plastic surgery procedure. Our patients do not need so deep anesthesia, so there is no need for it.International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

It is not common for anesthesiologists to do an epidural for an elective cosmetic surgery procedure. It may be an option if a patient has a medical co-morbidity that makes general anesthesia dangerous, but if that is the case, that patient should not be getting a BBL.
