When considering aesthetic or cosmetic procedures, one of the most significant decisions is choosing the type of anaesthesia. At Medical Aesthetic and Cosmetic Surgery (MACS) clinics, the use of local anaesthetics is more preferred due to its myriad benefits. This patient-focused approach is a safer and a more comfortable experience. Let’s dive into why local anaesthetics are a game-changer.
- Safety First: Reduced Risk of Complications
Local anaesthetics dramatically lower the risks associated with general anaesthesia. With local anaesthesia, patients remain awake and breathing on their own, eliminating the need for intubation or ventilatory support. This significantly reduces complications like respiratory distress or adverse drug reactions. For individuals with pre-existing health conditions, it’s a safer and more reassuring choice.
- Quicker Recovery and Minimal Downtime
Unlike general anaesthesia, local anaesthetics allow patients to recover quickly. Most people can walk out of the clinic shortly after their procedure, often feeling refreshed and alert. This rapid recovery means less disruption to your daily life, allowing patients to return to your regular routine faster.
- Cost-Effective Cosmetic Care
Procedures performed under local anaesthesia are often more affordable. By avoiding the use of anaesthetic equipments and additional medications , gases, specialised operating rooms, and sometimes overnight hospital stays, patients can enjoy lower overall costs without compromising on quality. This makes cosmetic care more accessible to a broader range of individuals.
- Cost-Effective Cosmetic Care
- Real-Time Precision
Local anaesthetics allows surgeons to achieve greater precision particularly in eyelid surgery. Since the patient remains conscious, they can provide immediate feedback during the procedure. For example, in facial surgeries, the surgeon has additional opportunity to check symmetry and make necessary refinement by asking the patients to perform specific movements during the procedure.

- A More Comfortable Experience
Local anaesthetics alleviate the anxiety that many patients feel about “going under” with general anaesthesia. For those who prefer to stay awake during their procedure, it provides peace of mind. If needed, mild sedation can be combined with local anaesthesia to create a relaxing experience without losing awareness entirely.
- Ideal for a Wide Range of Procedures
From minimally invasive treatments to more comprehensive surgeries, local anaesthetics offer incredible versatility. At MACS Clinic, Mr. Vadodaria performs procedures like liposuction, removal of mole , Lipoma , skin tags, soft tissue lumps, bumps, otoplasty (prominent ear correction), dimple creation, blepharoplasty, labiaplasty, gynecomastia, minifacelift/necklift under local anaesthesia and if required sedation.
- Fewer Postoperative Side Effects
General anaesthesia is often accompanied by side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and cognitive fog. With local anaesthetics, these issues are almost entirely avoided. Patients leave the clinic feeling clearer-headed and more comfortable, with fewer restrictions on eating or drinking post-procedure.
- Environmentally Friendly
Using local anaesthetics reduces the need for the extensive equipment and resources typically required for general anaesthesia. This eco-friendly approach generates less medical waste and has a smaller environmental footprint, aligning with a more sustainable healthcare model.
