As an anesthesiologist specializing in anesthesia for cosmetic surgery, I've developed a technique that gives my patients what they want from general anesthesia - not to hear, feel or remember their surgery - without the life threatening risks or usual unpleasant side effects of general anesthesia - especially the postop nausea and vomiting and pain which are related issues.
My web site www.cosmeticsurgeryanesthesia.com is a patient oriented site that has been empowering patients to know about and ask for PK anesthesia for nearly 8 years.
On this site chapter 1 of my book, 'Anesthesia in Cosmetic Surgery,' is posted free. It contains Tables 1-6 through 1-9 that show how do do PK and mistakes to avoid. Any anesthesia provider can do this technique if asked to do so.
The recent near death of Tameka Foster, rapper Usher's wife, underscores the reason no one should have general anesthesia for cosmetic surgery. Why take more risk than you have to to get what you want?
