Key Benefits of General Anesthesia:

Complete Pain Relief: Ensures you feel no pain during the procedure.

Comfort and Calm: Allows you to remain completely relaxed, free from anxiety.

The Role of General Anesthesia in Plastic Surgery

General anesthesia allows a pain-free and comfortable surgical experience. By inducing a state of controlled unconsciousness, general anesthesia allows patients to undergo complex procedures without any awareness or discomfort.

This is particularly beneficial for surgeries that are extensive or involve multiple areas of the body.

If you choose General anesthesia, anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists meticulously monitor each patient’s vital signs throughout the surgery, ensuring a safe and smooth experience from start to finish.

Awake Surgery:
A Revolutionary Approach

In addition to traditional surgery under general anesthesia, Dr. Meegan Gruber is proud to offer awake surgery options. Awake surgery is performed using local anesthesia without sedation, allowing you to remain awake and aware during the procedure while feeling no pain.
