Anesthesia Options

Exparel

EXPAREL is a local anesthetic that is given by your doctor during your surgery that provides long-lasting pain relief for the first few days after surgery. EXPAREL works directly at the surgical site to deliver pain relief where you need it most. EXPAREL is targeted, unlike opioids that affect your entire body and can lead to side effects that slow your recovery.

Intravenous Sedation

This technique is frequently employed to reduce anxiety. It involves the insertion of an IV with the goal of inducing the initial stages of sleep, ensuring a calm, safe, and seamless surgical experience. All our proficient physicians are well-versed in administering anesthesia, and they will closely monitor you throughout the duration of your procedure.

Oral Sedation/Nitrous Oxide

This technique is known as anxiolysis, as it doesn’t induce sleep but is specifically formulated to mitigate the stress associated with the procedure. If deemed suitable, you will be guided on the administration of oral sedation tablets before your surgery. To further alleviate any anxiety during the surgery, nitrous oxide will be administered through a mask placed over your nose.

General Anesthesia

For those patients experiencing high levels of anxiety, as well as pediatric or medically complex patients, we have the option to provide general anesthesia. A seasoned medical anesthesiologist will be on hand to ensure your procedure is executed with maximum safety and comfort.
