Your Comfort, Your Choice.

At Empowered Plastic Surgery, Dr. Khan offers select awake plastic surgery procedures with local anesthesia, as well as procedures performed under traditional general anesthesia, based on your goals, procedure, and clinical needs.

The Awake Approach

For the right patient and procedure, awake surgery may be performed using local anesthesia or light sedation to support comfort throughout the procedure.

  1. Awake and able to communicate
  2. Faster return to alertness
  3. An option for select patients

Traditional General Anesthesia

For some procedures and patients, traditional general anesthesia may be the more appropriate option when a fully asleep surgical experience is preferred or the procedure requires it.

  1. Fully asleep
  2. Standard surgical approach
  3. Used for more extensive procedures
