tummy tuck local anesthesia
I am going in for cosmetic surgery Tummy tuck but want to know what choices of sedation there are?whats safest

Im 5′7 190 lbs going in for tummy tuck,lipo of hips
I really dont know if I want general anesthesia I have NEVER had any surgery before..I think my surgery is suppose to be about 4 hours can you use local and a more short acting safer sedative other then general anesthesia? Thank you!

I have witnessed this operation. GA is a good idea. I cannot imagine having any other option. Usually, an injection to relax you will be given first and then you should remember nothing about it. One night in hospital should be enough but you will require fairly strong analgesia for 24 hours post-op. I would ask your surgeon for GA definitely unless there is some strong contraindication in which case you probably shouldn’t have the op anyway. Good luck.
