What are the side effects and risks of general anesthesia?

The basic liposuction operation in Singapore involves making a small incision less than 1cm long in the skin then inserting a metal ‘straw’ called a cannula into the fat and sucking the fat out. The fat is not liquid, so the cannula needs to be moved in and out to loosen it so it can be removed. A good knowledge of anatomy is essential to avoid putting the cannula in the wrong place. There are many ways this basic operation can be modified. Personally, I perform a technique called SAFE lipo.

Generally, wisdom tooth removal involving surgical extraction can be carried out with only local anaesthesia. With local anaesthesia, you will not feel any discomfort or pain during surgery since the tooth and surrounding area will be totally numbed. General anaesthesic for wisdom tooth removal is hardly used. But it is occasionally used when the surgery is carried out at the hospital, which also requires other surgeries at the same time. If you are particularly worried about the surgery, sedation would be a good option to relax during the procedure.
