Pre Operative Question Answer

Is a pannilectomy performed under general anesthesia?

When it comes to a panniculectomy, the anesthesia used depends on various factors, including the extent of the procedure and your specific needs. In most cases, a panniculectomy is performed under general anesthesia. This ensures that you are completely asleep and pain-free during the surgery. General anesthesia allows your surgeon to focus on the procedure while ensuring your comfort and safety. However, it’s important to have a thorough consultation with your plastic surgeon to discuss your medical history, any potential contraindications, and the specific anesthesia plan for your panniculectomy. Your surgeon will consider your individual circumstances and provide personalized recommendations to ensure the best possible outcome for your procedure.
