Abstract

The American Society of Plastic Surgery recently reported that more than 11 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States per year. This number is expected to rise as plastic surgery procedures become more advanced and less invasive. With this continued increase, careful clinical decision making for the safe and effective administration of anesthesia for patients undergoing cosmetic surgery is imperative. Furthermore, many cosmetic procedures are performed in diverse environments, including traditional hospital operating rooms, outpatient surgery centers, and private offices, reinforcing the need to consider all factors that ensure patient safety.
