Different Methods of Sedation at Body by Kotoske in Phoenix
If you are not able to be anesthetized at Body by Kotoske in Phoenix, the surgeon will use an alternative method to ensure you still have comfort and that you remain calm during the surgery. Some different forms of sedation include the surgeon using a nerve block on you. This ensures that you won’t feel pain but after surgery, you may feel prolonged numbness in the affected area. The way this procedure works is it utilizes ultrasound so that the needle is guided to the right position. If it were to hit something it wasn’t supposed to it could cause long-lasting damage or internal bleeding. That is something we want to avoid and that is why we are extra careful doing this method of sedation. Nerve blocks are also a form of putting you under that Body by Kotoske offers, so if you prefer this method you can let your doctor know pre-surgery.
