Different plastic surgery procedures are accompanied with various levels of discomfort, and they require different methods of anesthetizing. In the majority of cases, the patient’s preferences concerning safety and comfort, as well as personal pain threshold can help to decide what kind of anesthesia will be applied during the surgery. Very minor, non-invasive surgeries may involve only a topical anesthetic, while minor invasive surgeries will probably call for local anesthetic or local combined with sedation. In more involved surgery, general anesthesia is usually applied.
