Many people are confused about sedation anesthesia and general anesthesia, and there are many things they misunderstand.
General anesthesia and sedation anesthesia are clearly different anesthesia methods, and there are significant differences in safety and anesthesia expertise.
General anesthesia is an anesthesia method that requires expertise and must be administered directly by an anesthesiology specialist. It is performed while the airway (respiratory tract) is safely secured and the patient is completely unconscious, with vital signs being monitored.
Sedation anesthesia is an anesthesia method in which the physician performing the procedure makes the patient slightly drowsy, and the procedure is performed without securing the airway.
In the case of sedation anesthesia, it can be said to only slightly assist local anesthesia, and completely putting someone to sleep with sedation anesthesia is a very dangerous method. The reason is that the more consciousness is lost, the more breathing also declines.
Therefore, in the case of facial contouring surgery performed through the inside of the mouth, it can be said that it is safer to perform it under general anesthesia.
