Hello, I am a 29 year old female considering chin and neck liposuction. I have no allergies to medication. I have been told that I have the option of choosing IV sedation or local anesthesia for the chin liposuction procedure. What is the preferred method and what are the risks associated with both? I would like to choose the option that will be easiest on my body that will lead to a faster recovery. Thank you.
Answer: IV sedation vs Local Anesthesia for Chin Liposuction Both options that you have mentioned for chin liposuction are very reasonable for a healthy patient. IV sedation will provide the most comfort for you and decrease a patient's anxiety during the procedure. I have perform chin liposuction using both methods of anesthesia. I typically, prefer IV sedation for the patients.

Answer: #OfficeNeck/ChinLipo Most often isolated chin and neck liposuction is performed in my office under local anesthesia and oral sedation. This is the easiest method as it dose not require IV or general anesthesia and is also most cost effective.

Answer: Double Chin Treatment -- SmartLipo/VASER/ThermiRF, Botox, Venus Legacy I treat this everyday in my practice. You do not need surgery and can do this awake without pain. Properly performed liposuction with an energy based device and physical fat removal will do fantastic to remove the fat, lift the skin, and contour the jawline. I pretreat everyone with Botox 1-2 weeks before surgery to relax the neck muscles, allowing for better retraction of the skin after surgery. Then after treatment we do skin tightening with Venus Legacy to improve the results and decrease the neck swelling. I suggest you only see an expert for treatment of this area as a meticulous surgeon is required to get great results and complications in this area can be devastating both medically and cosmetically. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Liposuction of the chin and neck is easily done with local anesthesia. You can have full general anesthesia if you wish for treatment of your chin and neck but that is really unnecessary. This procedure is easily done with local anesthesia alone.

Answer: Anesthesia for chin and neck liposuction You are a young, healthy woman contemplating a short minimally invasive procedure. Consequently there are a number of options that could be considered, anything from local anesthesia alone, to local with oral sedatives, to MAC (IV sedation), to general anesthesia, and each approach has assets and liabilities. I would recommend a conversation with the treating surgeon. Be honest about your concerns, and don't hesitate to ask the reasons behind their preferences. Be confident though that a plan can be developed to ensure your comfort and safety.Decisions about the type of anesthesia are critically important, and influenced by many things: the nature of the procedure, a patient's health, anatomy, and preference, and the surgeon's preference, just to name a few. With any procedure, you want to make certain that the staff is experienced and certified, that you are appropriately monitored, and the procedure is being performed in an accredited facility. Best of luck!
