We talked before about the cost of plastic surgery and how one of the factors what the geographic location that the plastic surgeon was in. For many people who are looking to have plastic surgery done the option to travel to a plastic surgeon that is out of their area or out of their state has become and appealing idea.

For some, it is not only about cost but about quality. Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery has taken patients in from all across the nation who have come to Beverly Hills because LA is well know for having high quality plastic surgeons.

In any event, if you are a patient that is looking to travel across the nation for your plastic surgery procedure it may not be as simple as you would think.

For most, the trip to the plastic surgeons office will be a simple and easy trip which they can then pair with an actual vacation to the area. Most patients don’t think about the recovery time that is going to be needed afterwards. This is very important to think about if you are having a larger procedure done.

Recovery is the key to making sure that you plastic surgery comes out correctly. With this being said, some procedures will be difficult to handle if you are flying, carrying heavy bags, etc.

If you are going to be traveling to your plastic surgeon, make sure that you mention that in your initial consultation to make sure that it is feasible for you to do. If it is not wise to travel after your plastic surgery procedure then you’ll either have to find a surgeon near you or end up staying a bit longer then you may have initially planned.

Anesthesia plays a major roll in all plastic surgery procedures.  It also plays a major roll on many patients’ list of concerns.  If a patient has never undergone anesthesia, they may fear the effects of it, or simply may fear the experience of being unconscious.

In an attempt to release your fears a bit, as far as the anesthesia part of your plastic surgery goes, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery would like to provide you with basic, but important, information about anesthesia as well as the different types that are used.

A local anesthesia is just that.  It is only used local to where the surgery is taking place.  This type of anesthesia will not put you to sleep and you will be awake the entire procedure.  This type of anesthesia typically comes in the form of ointment or injection.

Sedating however is a bit different.  The patient is given a solution through intravenous injection.  This type of anesthesia will leave you awake, though drowsy and more than likely unable to remember the actual surgery part.

A regional anesthesia is quite similar to sedation in that you are still awake, drowsy, and likely unable to remember the procedure, though this type of anesthesia creates a block against the surrounding nerves in the direct area the surgery is being performed on.

Fourth and foremost, is a general anesthesia.  This reigns as the most common and well known types of anesthesia.  You are asleep during the procedure and will not remember anything that happens during that time.  It will be injected or inhaled when given.

Please note that after undergoing any type of anesthesia, it is required to fully recover from it’s effects prior to leaving the facility.  You will be placed in a recovery room following the plastic surgery procedure, and a nurse will be there to observe you as you recover.  The different types of anesthesia present different strengths, and the stronger the anesthesia, the longer it will take to recover from it’s effects.  Upon recovering, your plastic surgeon, like Dr. Kim, will provide you with a specific list of instructions corresponding to your type of anesthesia and the surgery you received to ensure proper recovery and results.
