Frequently Asked Questions -
Anesthesia for Breast Augmentation
Explain the type of anesthesia that you will be using. Who will be administering it and what are his or her credentials?
Dr. Zevon usually recommends general anesthesia for breast augmentation surgery. Conscious sedation and monitored anesthesia care (MAC) are options, if desired. Dr. Zevon operates only with board-certified anesthesiologists. You will meet the anesthesiologist before your surgery. He or she will be present throughout the surgery, and will not depart until you are awake.
How can I expect to feel after waking?
You will feel sleepy or groggy when you awake from anesthesia. You will remain in our recovery room until you are ready to walk out of the office with your escort.
