What are the risks of excess skin excision of the abdominal flap following tummy tuck under local anesthesia and no sedation?

Thank you for your question. Small areas of excess skin can be removed under local anesthetic. Larger areas may require an epidural or general anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource and practitioner in this area. Best Wishes to you!#excessskin #anesthesia  #resource

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well. that always will depend on how much work needs to be done in each patient, if its skin removal that will be alright.. another area can be done with epidural with sedation or general anesthesia

It depends on how much work needs to be done in your surgery.  If it is a small revision of a tummy tuck and simply a skin removal it should be ok.  However, if there is a large area that needs to be removed and muscle repair that is probably best done with some sedation or general anesthesia
