Anesthesia Questions
What are my options?
What type of anesthesia is available?
Local Anesthesia: Patients remain awake during the procedure and may receive oral Valium, pain medication, nitrous oxide, topical numbing agents, and injected local anesthetics for comfort. Patients are aware throughout the procedure. While many patients choose this option, it may not be the best fit for everyone. Certain procedures also require a different form of anesthesia.
Twilight or IV Anesthesia: Patients are sedated and monitored throughout the procedure by an anesthesia provider. Anesthesia is provided through an intravenous line. Patients breathe on their own.
General or “Gas” Anesthesia: Patients are fully asleep and monitored throughout the procedure by an anesthesia provider. A breathing tube and anesthesia machine is used to maintain respirations and anesthetic effect. Potential nausea or fatigue during recovery is highest with this option.
Recovery Questions
What to know.
How long after surgery can I resume normal activities?
- For the first 1-2 weeks, no work at office, exercise, social activities.
- Desk work from home is ok in the first week.
- Start 50% exercise at 2 weeks and ramp up to 100% by 1 month.
- Plan 2 months of recovery before important life events.
When will I look normal again?
Most visible swelling and bruising significantly improves in the first two weeks. However, it does take 6 weeks for 90% of swelling to resolve. The last 10% can take 6 months or more. Healing is progressive, and results continue refining over time.
When will I feel normal again?
Tightness, stiffness, and numbness gradually improve over a 6 month period. Some residual symptoms may take longer.
