Chandler Mom Beautifies Body Safely and for Thousands Less with Conscious Sedation
After years of thinking about it, 41-year old Sylvia Serna recently made a big decision to have a breast lift and implants. Three pregnancies, the affect of gravity and ticking clock convinced her it was time to invest in her appearance.
The Chandler mom got advice from many friends who had undergone cosmetic surgery, met with a few surgeons and decided Dr. Edgardo Zavala at Ciao Bella Medical Spa and Vein Clinic in Chandler was the right doctor for her. She liked his sincerity, unwavering goal of perfection, the friendly family-run office, and the fact that Dr. Zavala was not going to put her completely under with general anesthesia like the other surgeons she had seen.
At Ciao Bella Medical Spa and Vein Clinic all cosmetic procedures are performed with local anesthesia or, if needed, conscious sedation, which is also known as twilight anesthesia. Conscious sedation is a combination of medicines to help patients relax and block pain during a medical procedure. And often times, they stay awake. By using conscious sedation patients recover quickly and return to everyday activities soon after a procedure. Dr. Zavala does caution that conscious sedation must be done properly by highly qualified physicians and nurses.
"All cosmetic surgery can be done with local anesthesia," said Dr. Edgardo Zavala. "We can do everything from face lifts, tummy tucks, breast lifts, breast implants, liposuctions and vein treatments with just local anesthesia and some minor twilight. We do not use general anesthesia."
A lot of people are fearful of general anesthesia, which essentially puts patients in a medically induced coma . Serna shared those worries. She knew with the use of conscious sedation and under Dr. Zavala's specialized care she'd have less swelling, a faster recovery time and save thousands of dollars on the procedure.
"I am so pleased with my experience at Ciao Bella," said Serna. "The procedure was pain free. In fact the next night I went to my husband's holiday party and even danced a few songs. Most importantly, I love my new look. I should have done this years ago. Dr. Zavala is amazing."
Ciao Bella Medical Spa & Vein Clinic is the premier destination for cosmetic surgery in Arizona. Dr. Edgardo Zavala-Alarcon M.D. opened the family-owned clinic in 2007 focused on providing state-of-the-art, minimally invasive techniques and traditional cosmetic surgery procedures, as well as, vein disease treatments. The personalized care will enhance your natural beauty to help you look the way you've always wanted.
