Hi,
I am having Lefort jaw surgery this Spring to correct an open bite and I was wondering what type of anesthesia you would normally receive?
In the past (for other surgeries) I have asked for (and been given) anesthesia through a mask (see pictures). I would much prefer this method as I HATE, and have a FEAR, of needles.
If there are any videos or experiences of the anesthesia experience for jaw surgery, please share them with me. I am very NERVOUS!
Thanks,
