General anesthesia, what to expect at least 4 hours after waking up?

I always say to avoid gen anesthesia if possible for many reasons but if you have to have it, then expect to  be out of it for the rest of the day.

This is an excellent question and it needs to be explored by your chosen doctor.  I never used General Anesthesia for this procedure no matter how extensive of a procedure in my state approved and certified operating rooms. General anesthesia is NOT required and is not the choice method for liposuction as studies have shown it is not necessary and it carries very negative adverse risks that no one needs wanting to have this elective procedure done.  

I recommend following up with your anesthesiologist about what to expect. There will be a period of recovery following your procedure and each practitioner will have a specific protocol following your procedure. For best results with liposuction, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your questions. You should discuss this with your anesthesia provider on the day of surgery. After general anesthesia, you will be awake but the medications can make your groggy and tired for the first 24 hours, so after surgery you will likely feel like resting and not entertaining company. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. The anesthesiologist will explain to you very carefully which sedation the will use and how you will respond to this in the first hours afterwards. Best of luck

General Anesthesia is collective term for a multitude of drugs used in a multitude of combinations. To get your answer you would need to know the specific drugs your anesthesiologist will be using. Contact your surgeon who will tell you how to get in touch with your anesthesiologist.
