Q44 What anesthesia do you use? Will I have general anesthesia?
Conclusion
We use local anesthesia, not general anesthesia. The combination comprises topical anesthesia, ultrasound-guided scalp nerve blocks and local infiltration anesthesia by surgical area.
Supporting information
Routine hair transplantation; special circumstances, such as previous adverse reactions to local anesthetics, require individual medical assessment.
The Measures for the Administration of Medical Cosmetic Services specify who may administer anesthesia. Anesthetic drugs are used according to their instructions and clinical standards.
Risks and limitations
The anesthesia plan may change during surgery; changes will be explained beforehand.
Next steps
Before surgery, disclose allergies, medication history, and cardiovascular, cerebrovascular or endocrine conditions accurately.
