Total intravenous anaesthesia (otherwise known as TIVA) is a new form of anaesthesia which owing to its benefits over traditional common anaesthesia is becoming an increasing popular choice for individuals considering having cosmetic surgery. Total intravenous anaesthesia has been noted to make a considerably lower rate of unpleasant side effects in comparison to common anaesthesia in patients having little to medium sized plastic surgery operations. The main benefits of TIVA for cosmetic surgery patients are highlighted below: TIVA causes a minimal lowering of breathing rate and heart rate in comparison to traditional common anaesthetic. TIVA when administered by a qualified anaesthetist causes an individual to fall calmly into a deep sleep. The patient has no memory of the procedure on awakening and does not experience any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Due to its gentler effect on the body there is no requirement for ventilators or breathing tubes. Recovery time post TIVA has been noted to be considerably lower in comparison to common anaesthesia. Patients typically awaken more rapidly after TIVA and are consequently able to resume normal activities at a faster rate post cosmetic surgery. TIVA has been used extensively to perform many different types of cosmetic surgery procedures including breast augmentation (breast implants), liposuction, facial surgery, rhinoplasty, breast lift and breast reduction surgery. Despite its clear benefits for little to medium sized cosmetic surgery procedures it should be noted that more extensive traditional common anaesthesia is still the preferred choice for larger types of plastic surgery. If you are interested in TIVA you should discuss it with your cosmetic surgeon and anaesthetist who should be able to advice you as to whether it is a viable option based on your common health and type of cosmetic surgery procedure you are thinking about having. The Hurlingham Clinic based in London is one of UK’s leading cosmetic surgery clinics which also specialises in total intravenous anaesthesia. If you are considering having cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery and smart lipo then The Hurlingham Clinic can be contacted on 020 7348 6380 for more info.
