Abstract
With the increase in the number and type of plastic surgical procedures that aim to improve the physical appearance and social acceptance, anesthesia can become the most feared factor by the patient, sometimes even more than the surgical procedure itself. It becomes necessary to educate the patient about the safety of the surgery and the anesthesia. Demystification of the anesthesia as a dangerous endeavor, diminishing the risk by an adequate preoperative evaluation, and performing the surgery according to the safety standards will keep high-definition lipoplasty as a safe, effective, and rewarding surgery.
