Specialized Anesthesia Technique For Cosmetic Surgery

Dr. Sire works with Dr. Barry Friedberg who pioneered a minimally invasive anesthesia technique known as propofol ketamine or PK. The PK approach helps patients recover quickly and be pain and nausea-free. Patients don't hear or feel their surgery, yet remain at the lightest level of anesthesia, short of awake. All cosmetic procedures that require anesthesia can be performed using PK.

Benefits of the PK Anesthesia
The PK approach helps patients recover quickly and be pain and nausea-free. PK creates the illusion of general anesthesia, with minimal sedation. Patients don't hear or feel their surgery, yet remain at the lightest level of anesthesia, short of being awake.

Propofol is a very short acting drug, which makes it ideal for use in the office. Within three to five minutes of the propofol infusion being turned off at the end of the surgery, the patients emerge. Often patients are able to go home, clear-headed, within 30 minutes after their surgery.

There is no other anesthetic technique that so often leaves patients with a sense of well being as does Dr. Friedberg's PK technique. Patients have been quite enthusiastic in their response to PK because it essentially eliminates post-operative nausea and vomiting. All cosmetic procedures that require anesthesia can be performed using PK.
