What is anesthesia for?
In the course of breast augmentation, the skin, fat and muscle layers are injured, and insignificant blood
loss occurs. To avoid more damage, doctors actively use pain relief.
Tasks of anesthesia
- Removal of pain during and after surgery.
- Relaxation of the pectoral and respiratory muscles to gain access to the interfascial space.
- Slowing down the body`s response to surgery.
Consultation with an anesthesiologist
Before deciding on an surgery, you need to consult with an anesthesiologist, who will solve your problem
with the selection of anesthesia. Preparation for the surgery, the procedure itself and the rehabilitation
period should take place in a physically and psychologically comfortable environment.
A comprehensive assessment of the patient`s general health, her individual characteristics allows for the
surgery and the recovery phase of treatment with minimal risks. When contacting an experienced plastic
surgeon Turkey working in a reputable clinic, you can not be afraid of poor quality work. Indeed,
during the
procedure, all body functions will be strictly controlled.
Types of anesthesia
There are three main types of anesthesia:
- Local anesthesia;
- Regional anesthesia (spinal, epidural and conduction);
- Anesthesia.
Let`s consider each of the varieties separately.
Local anesthesia
With local or local anesthesia, the anesthetic is injected directly into the area of the intended surface.
The depth and time of action depend on the type of medicine, its concentration and method of application.
There are:
-
Application in the form of a gel or emulsion on the skin, mucous membranes. The effect is short-term, the
action is superficial;
- Injection, with which you can adjust the depth of the drug injection and, accordingly, the anesthesia zone.
Local exposure to anesthetic is recommended only for minor breast correction - removal of small scars, scars
or papillomas. Or in combination with other types of anesthesia.
The patient is conscious and can observe the progress of the surgery. This significantly reduces the level
of psychological comfort and increases the level of anxiety.
Regional anesthesia
This term means anesthesia of a particular part of the body through the direct or indirect administration of
an anesthetic, coupled with sedative (sedative) drugs. The patient is conscious, but the ability to remember
and the feeling of anxiety are dulled.
There are three types of regional anesthesia:
- spinal;
- epidural;
- conductor.
An anesthetic is injected into the area of a large nerve trunk, which blocks the transmission of a nerve
impulse to a site of an organ or tissue. Thanks to this, the patient does not feel pain or any discomfort in
the area of the mammary glands and axillary region.
After regional anesthesia, fewer pain medications are required and the feeling of nausea and vomiting is
minimized.
General anesthesia
In other words, anesthesia. This is a drug suppression of consciousness, sensory sensations, including pain,
and complete relaxation of all muscles of the body. In a state of deep sleep, the vital activity of all
systems and organs of the patient is artificially supported. General anesthesia is performed in different
ways:
- intravenous medication;
- inhalation of anesthetic through the airways with maintenance of artificial ventilation.
The latter is preferable. Since the inhaled anesthetic is monitored under the constant supervision of an
anesthesiologist. Due to the depression of consciousness, postoperative phenomena may appear - drowsiness,
lethargy, a feeling of weakness on the first day.
Features of general anesthesia
Currently, there is a myth among patients about the harm of anesthesia. Maybe a few decades ago this was
partly true. However, the achievements of modern pharmacology and anesthesiology prevent the high toxic
effect of narcotic drugs on the body.
Dignity
- Complete depression of consciousness, which relieves psycho-emotional stress during the surgery.
- Relaxation of the muscles (including the respiratory muscles), providing surgical access to the chest.
-
Full control of vital functions by the anesthesiologist - indicators of pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen
saturation, and so on.
- Fast rehabilitation with a minimum of side effects after medication.
- Low level of toxic effects of drugs on the brain and liver.
- General anesthesia can be used even when the patient is allergic to local anesthetics.
Since the effect of anesthesia is to suppress the cerebral cortex, the flow of nerve impulses from the wound
surface is excluded. Therefore, it is almost impossible to "wake up" during the surgery.
Patient monitoring
In addition to the plastic surgeon Turkey, the operating team, as you know, includes an
anesthesiologist and
his nurse. The patient is constantly monitored using special equipment. The device shows changes in pulse
and blood pressure, blood saturation (oxygen saturation), heart function, body temperature.
If the parameters change in an unfavorable direction, one or another drug is added / reduced. As soon as the
surgery comes to an end, the anesthesiologist gradually reduces the concentration of the anesthetic and the
patient wakes up.
After making sure that the client is normal, the doctor transfers him to the ward. The nurse`s
round-the-clock supervision allows you to quickly adapt to the conditions of the hospital.
How does anesthesia affect a person?
General anesthesia acts the same for any person, but it is worth considering:
- age;
- the weight;
- accompanying illnesses;
- metabolic rate;
- intolerance to certain medicinal substances.
An experienced anesthesiologist must calculate all of these parameters in order to select the correct dose
of the active ingredient. To be able to react quickly, to calculate several steps ahead, ahead of a critical
situation - these are the skills of a good doctor.
Our subjective sense of ourselves has a significant impact on mood and even health. Unwillingness to see
oneself without a bra, disgust for one`s own body give rise to anxiety and self-doubt. It is much more
profitable to make breasts, the boob job price of which will not be so high.
Modern mammoplasty price and techniques are effective only with adequate pain relief.
Therefore, the time
for rehabilitation and the risks of complications are not threatened if you are in the hands of an
experienced clinic.
