In accordance with the nature of the surgery, local or general anasthesia is administrated by the specilialist anaesthesiologist. The large number of the surgical operations are carried under general anasthesia. We will only work with a registered medical doctor who is a Specialist Anaesthesiologist to administer an anaesthetic.
A Specialist Anaesthesiologist first completes the basic medical degree which qualifies them as a General Practitioner. After this they complete a further 4 years supervised anaesthetic training following which a specialist exam is written.
Before you are taken into surgery the Specialist Anaesthesiologist will visit you in the ward for a full detailed consultation. Please relate any adverse reactions to previous anaesthetics suffered by you or your family.The Anaesthesiologist will ensure that you are awake and in a stable condition before discharging you to the ward where you will be given something to eat and drink.
If after your surgery you experience any excessive pain or nausea do not hesitate to tell the nurse on duty. They will administer the medication prescribed by the anaesthesiologist.
| 2. Why General Anasthesia |
We use the most modern anesthetic techniques and medications specially customized and developed for cosmetic surgery patients and procedures. This means you will go to sleep gently and quickly and wake up the same. You will be completely asleep during your surgery. You will not hear or remember or feel anything. All this gives our surgeons the opportunity to do his very best and concentrate his full attention to your surgery.As regards to operations over one hour, our general anesthetic actually uses less medication and is safer than sedatives or “twilight” sleep, allowing a more rapid recovery usually free of nausea.
