The abortion procedure is performed from 6 weeks to 19 weeks under local anesthesia using the Vacuum Uterine Aspiration Method.
Local anesthesia is the most common form of anesthesia used for abortion procedures.
You may not drive for 24 hours after the sedation and must have someone drive you home. General anesthesia is administered by an Anesthesiologist. You will be completely asleep and will not wake up until the surgery is over. An adult must accompany you to the facility and remain until you are discharges. You may not drive an automobile after general anesthesia and will need someone to drive you home.
