Anesthesia and Tummy Tucks

Anesthesia and Abdominoplasty

Anesthesia is necessary for many surgical operations including tummy tucks. It is important to understand that anesthesia carries its own risks that are separate from the tummy tuck procedure in order to experience your tummy tuck completely. The more information you have involving every aspect of your tummy tuck, the smoother the actual operation and recovery will be.

Anesthesia is important because it can provide pain relief as well as to control the patient’s body to allow the tummy tuck procedure to be performed smoothly. Bodily reactions to injury involves increased heart rate, tissue swelling, involuntary acts like tears, more shallow breathing, and sending white blood cells to repair the damaged tissue. During a tummy tuck incisions are made and the body will naturally react to the bodily trauma that can complicate the tummy tuck procedure. This is why it is important for anesthesia to be administered in surgical procedures like a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck will probably require a general anesthesia to be used.

The anesthetic works by preventing the tummy tuck patient from feeling pain, allowing unconsciousness, preventing the patient from moving around, serves as a memory loss mechanism, and eliminates the natural bodily reactions to trauma. Your tummy tuck plastic surgeon will review the risks of anesthesia with the patient prior to the tummy tuck procedure.
