Fat Transfer (Fat Injection)
Anesthesia for Fat Transfer
Dr. Cruise works only with board certified anesthesiologists to make sure you have the best anesthesia possible. Before your surgery, the anesthesiologist will discuss with you what type of anesthesia is best for you. He/she will take into consideration your medical history, the procedure, and your personal wishes.
Normally, fat transplantation is performed under local anesthesia. It may be done under general anesthesia or with sedation, but this is usually the case when it is done with other procedures.
