The main levels of sedation are: Minimal — Minimal sedation will help you relax, but you will likely be awake. This level of sedation is typically used when your doctor needs you to be involved in the procedure. Moderate — You will feel drowsy and may even fall asleep during the procedure. You may or may not remember some of the procedure. I think I would have liked to have been a little more asleep yet the flip side of it was the immediate wakefulness and no nausea or dizziness.
I would choose this route again. I had an upper bleph done while wide awake and with novocaine only. Not only did I not feel a thing but I also feel asleep twice. I had a procedure to use a laser to I guess zap a dead vein in my right leg. I was given Twilight. It did absolutely nothing for me. They gave nome maximum but had nor effect at all. I had to bear the pain for one hour which was a nightmare!
How could this happen? Did your provider try an alternate topical form? Some individuals do react differently to different forms of anesthesia, sometimes to the point where the form of anesthesia is rendered ineffective.
Hi guys yesterday i had done radio frequency done to my lower back i had the twlight sedation and works i didnt feel a thing and woke up in recovery wondering if it was all over. Still in abit of pain but that should ease in the coming weeks. Hi I am having an upper and lower eyelift surgery, I have been recommended just having a local anaesthetic, but think with my nerves I will go for twilight………. Hi Jo, it may sound startling but depending on the specific procedure local anesthesia can be a good choice.
However, being for many people being fully awake during a surgical procedure is unnerving. I would definitely recommend asking your surgeon if you can undergo the procedure using some form of twilight anesthesia.
Thank for reading our blog and sharing your story! Twilight anaesthesia can be the best option for those who feel anxiety from local anaesthesia. I thanks to you for sharing information about twilight anaesthesia. Afterwards I began being coherent and would be upset and cried frequently over small things. I really wanted a frosty and cried to my boyfriend proclaiming I needed one since my throat was dry.
How commen is it for a patient to experience this while undergoing twilight anesthesia? When done correctly, patients who undergo twilight anesthesia should not feel any pain during their procedure.
An experienced anesthesiologist will administer an appropriate amount of medicine which is also usually accompanied by a local anesthetic. The combination of both twilight and local anesthesia make it very rare for patients to experience pain. I had upper eyelid surgery 5 days ago. Twilight anesthesia was used. I was anxious but they gave me just a little in my iv and I started to get relaxed, then on to the table and I was out like a light or so I thought. I thought I was sleeping and drempt about riding white horses— very pleasant and did not feel a thing.
Dont remember a thing even about the drive home though. I thought I was sleeping. Glad I had that over general or just novocaine. Cant figure out how I could be asleep dreaming about horses and still awake and responsive? Hi Patti, glad to hear that your procedure went well! Depending on the type and amount of medication used patients may experience different levels of memory.
Im going to have twilight and i am very worried i will feel pain and become loopy like i cant contoll my thoughts or what i say im going to have a chin implant please help. Hi Dakota, many patients feel some apprehensive prior to undergoing twilight anesthesia. So you are definitely not alone! I would recommend that you reach out to your provider to discuss the specifics of your procedure: what type of medicine would be used? Who is administering the anesthesia and what credentials to they have?
Finally, your surgeon should be able to tell you exactly what to expect in terms of feeling. I had internal radiation for cervical cancer using versad? I was spoo anxious that it overrode the drugs. Can I recommend something stronger than versad? Hi Ellen, We are sorry to hear about your experience. However, we cannot provide any further information or recommendations without actually administering care. We definitely encourage you to discuss these issues freely with your current physicians, they may have alternate methods which may help.
Would it be possible to do Thermage, several areas in one session, with twilight sedation? Contact with cold, even washing my face with cold water, causes me to swell. With the condition that you reference, cold urticaria, you may not be an ideal candidate for Thermage. However, Ultherapy could work for you.
For Ultherapy treatments, we can prescribe an oral medication to help you relax prior to the treatment and would also administer a topical numbing cream.
Our patients are generally very comfortable with this combination. Thank you for your response! Do you offer the option of twilight sedation if doing multiple Ultherapy areas in one session?
Also, do you accept patients from outside the area? Hi FH, No problem, thanks for reading our post and submitting your original question! We do accept patients from outside areas, please contact us at Yesterday I was inquiring about a tummy tuck.
I asked what type of anaesthetic this particular office used. Patients under conscious sedation still have to be carefully monitored to ensure that they don't slip into deeper sedation.
