Our Anesthesia Choice - Local Anesthesia
Why Local Anesthesia is the Gold Standard at ASM Clinic
Your Safety, Our Priority: The ASM Approach to Comfortable Eye Surgery
At Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery, our commitment to surgical excellence led us to exclusively use local anesthesia for all eye surgeries. Through years of specialized experience, Dr. Ahn has perfected a technique that maximizes both patient comfort and surgical precision. Here’s a detailed look at why our approach has become the gold standard in eye surgery:
Superior Precision for Perfect Symmetry
- Real-time eye position assessment enables Dr. Ahn to evaluate and adjust the surgical outcome during the procedure, ensuring natural-looking results that complement your facial features
- Continuous active monitoring of eyelid muscle strength allows for precise calibration of lift and fold creation
- The ability to make immediate adjustments for optimal symmetry means we can achieve balance between both eyes during the surgery itself
- Patients can participate in result verification during the procedure, ensuring their desired outcome is achieved before leaving the operating room
Enhanced Safety & Comfort: The ASM Difference
- Unlike general anesthesia, no pre-surgery fasting is required, making the experience more comfortable for patients
- Our specialized local anesthesia technique significantly reduces recovery time, allowing patients to return to their daily activities sooner
- Ahn’s precise injection method minimizes post-operative swelling, leading to faster and more comfortable healing
- Our advanced pain management approach ensures minimal discomfort during and after the procedure
The ASM Technical Advantage
- Natural eye positioning throughout surgery allows Dr. Ahn to create results that look perfect in your everyday expressions
- Precise control over surgical outcomes through real-time adjustments and measurements
- Our optimized lidocaine usage prevents tissue distortion, ensuring more accurate and natural-looking results
- The unique ability to confirm results with conscious patients during the procedure guarantees satisfaction with the outcome
Comprehensive Patient Benefits
- Recovery time is dramatically reduced compared to general anesthesia procedures
- Patients avoid common general anesthesia side effects such as nausea, grogginess, and extended recovery periods
- Results are more predictable due to the ability to assess outcomes in real-time
- Enhanced surgical precision leads to more natural-looking and longer-lasting results
Understanding the Science Behind Our Choice
General anesthesia fundamentally alters eye position – when unconscious, eyes naturally rotate upward and outward, creating a significant challenge for achieving perfect symmetry. This position doesn’t reflect how your eyes will look in daily life. With our local anesthesia approach, Dr. Ahn can observe and work with your natural eye position and muscle movements, ensuring results that look beautiful in every expression.
Our Advanced Injection Technique Dr. Ahn’s proprietary injection method has been refined over thousands of successful surgeries to:
- Minimize tissue trauma and reduce post-operative swelling
- Provide optimal numbing with minimal discomfort
- Maintain natural tissue position for more accurate surgical planning
- Enable faster recovery and reduced bruising
Why This Matters for Your Results When choosing eye surgery, the anesthesia method significantly impacts not just your comfort during the procedure, but the final outcome. Our local anesthesia approach enables:
- More natural-looking results that complement your facial features
- Better symmetry between both eyes
- Reduced recovery time and complications
- Higher patient satisfaction rates
At ASM Clinic, our choice of local anesthesia isn’t just about convenience – it’s about delivering the exceptional results our patients expect and deserve. By combining Dr. Ahn’s expertise with this advanced approach, we’ve created a surgical experience that prioritizes both your comfort and the quality of your results.
