Everyone seems to have something about
their image they would like to improve. It’s more and more commonplace to make use
of cosmetic procedures as a way to improve our appearance, from simple in-office
procedures to multiple major surgeries. There are many ways cosmetic surgery is
used every day for treating, curing and correcting the effects of birth defects,
abnormalities, moles, trauma, cancer, tumors, weight loss… the list goes on and
on! And while
there are many who don’t hesitate to get every conceivable nip, tuck and
filler, there are those who genuinely need and desire to take the steps to
improving their lives through surgical intervention, yet still remain wary and may
even be afraid.
So what is there to be afraid of? There are a
few common reasons which make people hesitant to change their lives through cosmetic
surgery, but one of the major reasons is a fear of receiving anesthesia
or “going under.” You’re not alone if you have this
fear. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, “lack of
understanding and apprehension about anesthesia may lead as many as one in four
patients to postpone surgery… More than 75 percent of Vital Health Report
respondents expressed concern about the use of anesthesia during surgery, yet
this fear of anesthesia does not match actual patient experiences.”
Though
a very real fear for many, these days the use of anesthesia in
conjunction with a qualified Anesthesiologist and a qualified Plastic Surgeon
who work together as a team, allow a patient to go under appropriate sedation
so they are in no pain or discomfort. In fact, there are ways of doing anesthesia
without the patient even requiring intubation, that is, tubes put down the
patient's throat. In competent hands, Anesthesia is exceptionally safe.
Being worried about “going under” for an impending surgery is
the last thing you need. At Ciao Bella Medical Spa, your health, comfort and
safety is our number one goal. The best thing you can do if you are nervous
about anesthesia is to talk to us about it. Our team is here every step of the
