Hello dear. Epidural block is used in combined procedures such as BBL, liposculpture, and breast lift primarily for safety and efficiency reasons. It provides localized analgesia without the need for full sedation, reducing respiratory risks and allowing for faster recovery. In addition, it allows the surgeon to have more control over pain during surgery, reduces the amount of general anesthesia needed, and minimizes side effects such as nausea or postoperative drowsiness. It also helps control bleeding. You can write to us at 829-554-6062 to give you the necessary recommendations for your surgery.
