Tummy tuck with MR and abdominal lipo - General Anesthesia or Twilight Local Sedation?

January 22, 2015
Asked By:rjandj in Toronto, ON

Had 2 consults for a full tummy tuck. Both are drain-free. Both will have abdominal sculpting lipo & muscle repair. Both have excellent reviews and are board certified. Huge difference is one uses general anesthesia, and one uses twilight local sedation. I liked surgeon 2, however, concerned with the use of local sedation for a surgery of this magnitude. Can this surgery be done with local, or should I choose surgeon 1? (Liked surgeon 2 slightly more, but not enough to risk my health)
