The type of cosmetic/plastic surgery you are having will determine whether you are put under general anaesthetic, or if the specific area can be numbed with local anaesthetic. For example, mole removal surgery and split ear lobe repair, can be performed under local anaesthetic. Larger procedures, such as breast enlargement and abdominoplasty surgery are performed under general anaesthetic. Before you undergo the procedure, you will be asked if you are allergic to anaesthetic, or any other medications, as we always put your safety and wellbeing first.
