Unlocking The Benefits of Awake Procedures
It is common for patients to believe that general anesthesia should always be used in cosmetic and aesthetic procedures to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free, but that’s not always the case.
At Amavi Aesthetic Surgery, we offer our patients a wide range of anesthesia options to suit their needs, including awake procedures that allow you the comfort of a procedure without the need to be put to sleep.
An awake procedure is a treatment or surgery in which the patient remains alert. We will numb the treatment area and provide you with medication to help with anxiety. The risks of complications associated with general anesthesia are significantly reduced. Awake procedures also typically have less downtime, and patients can return to their routine much quicker.
Benefits of Awake Procedures
Some of the awake procedures we offer at Amavi Aesthetic Surgery include awake liposuction, facial procedures such as eyelid lifts, and female rejuvenation procedures like labiaplasties. Awake procedures can provide several benefits to our patients:
Real-time Feedback
During awake procedures, patients can participate with the surgeon to ensure they get the results they’re looking for. Your surgeon can also ask you questions and customize your procedure to fit your goals in real-time.
Better Recovery
Among the many benefits of awake procedures, minimal downtime is often what patients enjoy the most. Since patients are awake (and comfortable) throughout the procedure, they can go home immediately after. This ensures a smoother recovery process and a return to everyday activities without too much interruption.
Lower Risk of complications
Even though general anesthesia is considered to be quite safe, awake procedures have an even lower risk of adverse effects and complications. You don’t have to worry about prolonged fatigue, nausea, confusion, or other negative side effects.
Cost-Effective
Awake procedures are less costly than general anesthesia. Patients do not have to pay extra money for another specialist.
