I want to have my upper eyelids done and originally was going to go under anesthesia but now I don’t know?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
The 1st quote i was givin was including anesthesia but then they gave me a different price all together which added 1000 $. How “awake” are you under local only and which do most people do? I have extreme anxiety so i dont know if i could sit still during the procedure.
A.We perform upper eyelid Blepharoplasty under local anesthesia all of the time. With proper pre-medication the surgery is very well tolerated. We give Xanax 30 minutes before to help with anxiety and then give weight appropriate Demerol injection about 15 minutes prior to the surgery. Most of our patients are in and out of sleep during the 1 hour procedure. Love Austin!Good luck and be well.
