The Anesthesiologist's Role in Cosmetic Surgery

An important factor in any successful surgery is the anesthesiologist. A good plastic surgeon will always work with only qualified MDs as anesthesiologists. This does increase the cost for the procedures but safety is always a priority, as well as the comfort of the patient during the procedure.

The experienced anesthesiologist uses modern anesthetic techniques and medications specially customized and developed for cosmetic surgery patients and procedures. The anesthesiologist chooses and gives the medications which keep you from feeling pain or sensation. These medications allow you to go to sleep gently and quickly and wake up feeling the same, usually free of nausea.

The anesthesiologist is present all throughout the surgery, monitoring and controlling the patient's breathing and blood pressure. He also makes medical judgments that protect you during and after surgery.

As I mentioned before, even patients on a budget should never scrimp on a qualified plastic surgeon and an equally qualified and experienced anesthesiologist for procedures that require more than local anesthesia.

Asian Double Eyelid Surgery

Asian eyes are typically smaller in size than those of other races. Many Asian eyes also have little or no visible eyelid. Today, more and more Asians are having double eyelid surgery, to enhance their eyes. This procedure involves creating a crease that divides the eyelid into a top and bottom portion. Although many Asians have this crease, there are also many who do not. The challenge for a cosmetic surgeon is to enhance the patient's appearance, not to westernize an Asian face. To retain the patient's natural Asian look, the plastic surgeon aims to create a crease similar to that which is found naturally in Asians. Otherwise the eyelid will not blend with the rest of the patient's features and may not look normal.
