It is considered you are in surgery from the moment you arrive to the surgical area until the moment you have sufficiently recovered from anesthesia. Before the procedure, your surgeon, anesthesiologist and the nursing staff will meet you in the pre-operative area to discuss your medical condition and answer any question.
The anesthesia
What kind of anesthesia is used for breast lift surgery?
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia with intravenous induction and inhalation anesthesia. You will sleep through the entire operation, feeling no pain and remaining absolutely relaxed.
The section about Anesthesia provides complete information on this medical practice along with recommendations and instructions.
Before surgery, you will be asked to remove your underarm hair by using depilatory cream instead of razor.
The use of razors prior to surgery increases the incidence of wound infection.
Patient preparation includes treating the surgical site before surgery, using appropriate antiseptic agents for skin preparation.
In the operating room the intravenous therapy or IV will be initiated. The IV is the giving of liquid substances directly into a vein. Through a needle you will receive saline solution, anesthesia, and other medications you may need during surgery.
Once you have moved over the operating table, you will be placed in a supine position with arms in abduction. This means that you will be lying down with the face up and open arms. The elbows are cushioned with pillows to prevent any postoperative discomfort.
Breast lift surgery may take from 2-3 hours. The length of your hospital stay depends on your health condition after surgery.
