Common Questions and Answers about Neck lift local anesthesia

Avatar n tn Sometimes light sedation is also used with this method. Local (i.e., injection) anesthesia carries more risks than the eye drops, and you'll go home wearing an eye patch (and maybe a black eye.) General anesthesia involves the most risks. In my opinion, it's always a good idea to ask in advance what will be used.
Avatar f tn Dont worry it must have been a safe anestethic the doctors wouldnt put you or your baby at risk
Avatar f tn However, they will have to run a few tests to check if local anesthesia is better or the general one. Iv been on claxean injections n asprin through out my pregnancy since my daughter was a really low birth weight. So wat do u think is better local or general?
Avatar m tn Hi I just had a revision procedure that included neck lift to correct my platysma muscles. I originally had liposuction and a thread lift done to rejuvenate my lower part of my face. I didn't want anything invasive so opted for the thread lift with lipo under the chin and lightly underneath my jawline. After the healing was done it was obvious that the procedure did not obtain good results and exposed my platysma bands and had much indentations where the thread lift was placed under my jaw.
Avatar m tn colonoscopy withoout anesthesia? I am a male and going to be 58 shortly but I have never had a colonoscopy. Of course my health care provider is strongly recommending me getting one. The only way I will consider getting one is if I can without any anesthesia. My reasoning is first of all i don't want my wife or anyone waiting on me while the procedure is taking place. The next reason is I will drive my self home after the scope is done.

Avatar f tn I’m worried it may grow and would then need to explore removal. My Dr. told me bc of the location general anesthesia would be required bc local impedes the use of a nerve stimulator. I am very hesitant to go under for a lipoma. Would other methods (ie sedation) be a reasonable option, or is GA the only option?
Avatar f tn Has anyone out there ever had to receive more then general and/or local anesthesia? I read that sometimes, so the patient does not cough or move during surgery, there will be a tube put down their thoat to be put on a breathing machine. This scares me - if anyone has had this done or know why its necessary or the pros & cons, please reply.
Avatar m tn Can strabismus surgery be done using local anesthesia and what are the advantages or disadvantages if any?
Avatar n tn It is going to be a local anesthetic with the surgery being at 1pm. The doctor told me that the procedure lasts and about an hour. My question is can I drink alcohol that night, say around 8pm. What side effects will happen with just a local anesthetic. Thanks.
Avatar n tn Before the era of chemical anesthetics, hypnosis was delivered to render surgical treatment by some surgeons. In today's practice, chemical anesthesia is so effective that hypnosis is rarely used. The descriptions that none of the available anesthetic solution can achieve adequate anesthesia is extremely rare. If injection technique is employed properly, anesthesia is almost always achieved.
Avatar n tn If it turns out I can't, what are my options? Are there minor procedures that can be done in the office, under local anesthesia, that can at least lift the corners of my eyes? I'll just have to deal with my cheeks the way they are.
Avatar m tn The risk of serious problems including death and the expense involved are always higher with general anesthesia than local. Moreover patients done under general often still have double vision. My 6 research papers have highlighted that it's important that hyaluronidase be added to the local anesthesia to reduce risk of double vision and muscle damage.
Avatar f tn There is no reason for a person with MS to avoid local anesthesia when needed, unless the person happens to be allergic to the commonly used local anesthetics, such as Novocaine. One study reviewed 98 patients who together had received more than 1,000 doses of local anesthetics. In only four instances was the dose followed by an exacerbation—a sudden worsening of an MS symptom or symptoms. An exacerbation is also known as a relapse, attack, or flare." this is from http://www.
Avatar n tn I had a partial face lift and neck lift 2 years ago. I still feel extreme tension/tightness at the sides of my neck, near my cervical nodes. I cannot palpate any node enlargement. I am also experiencing increasing parasthesia of my lips to the point of difficulty enunciating words. I have no lip drooping, but I experience some saliva drooling while speaking. My surgeon merely suggests more surgery.
Avatar m tn I had 2 surgeries with local anesthesia and experienced no pain at all. IV sedation was used for administering the local. You could have IV sedation throughout the procedure if you wanted. This alternative is much safer than general anesthesia, and your recovery will be SO much easier. In my geographic area, general anestheisa is only used with children and uncooperative patients. I would never go with this option if something else were possible.
Avatar n tn For an excision biopsy is numbing adequate or should I have anesthesia? Thanks!
Avatar n tn Hi, epidural anesthesia is form of giving drugs through epidural space in spine; a catheter is inserted under local anesthesia in to epidural space to block nerve sensations causing pain. Although it is quite effective and safe technique but some complications are associated with it but is quite safe when done by experienced person. Please visit this website for complications and side effects: http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn This procedure can be done with local, regional, or general anesthesia. Local anesthesia requires injections of numbing medicine into the tissue surrounding your cervix, inside your vagina. You remain awake through the procedure and may feel some cramping in your pelvis. Regional anesthesia for hysteroscopy is done with either a spinal block or epidural block. For this type of anesthesia, a drug is injected through a needle or tube in your lower back by an anesthesiologist.
Avatar n tn Is it possible to be allergic to local anesthesia, as in stop breathing? I remember I stopped breathing and my dentist giving me another shot of something to revive me, a second after the shot I remember taking a couple of very deep breaths. When three weeks later I asked him which anesthesia I am allergic to he said none, when I asked him what happened that day he said nothing, I explained what I experienced and he said "you dreamt it.
Avatar f tn What is the procedure like? Are you completely out or do they just do a local anasthetic? I have looked all over the internet and can't find any information on the actual procedure and what to expect. I will ask my doctor in a few days, but I can't wait that long!!! If anyone has any info, it would be appreciated. I'd like to get an ounce of sleep tonight!!!
Avatar m tn Like dental work or any local anesthesia its possible. The amount of discomfort is usually greater with topical anesthesia than injection anesthesia. Most people (not everyone) have no pain or little pain which is mild and fleeting.
Avatar n tn The first PM guy I went to did the epidural steroid iinjections with only local anesthesia, It was only slightly uncomfortable, very quick. He did it in his office, under xray guidance. I had 6 last year. The pM guy I have now uses a light form of general anesthesia. The procedure only takes 5 minutes, and with this guy, is done in a surgical center. You are only asleep for minutes. The anesthesia is performed by either an anesthesiologist, or a nurse anesthetist.
