Intravenous (IV) sedation is a type of anesthesia given through a tub placed in a vein.  It helps you relax, and prevents you from feeling pain. IV sedation is also known as monitored anesthesia care (MAC), conscious sedation, or twilight sleep.  Patients can also select IV Sedation for their submental liposuction procedure. This needs to be administered by an Anesthesiologist or CRNA at our AAAHC accredited surgical suite.  There is an additional cost for IV Sedation.
