A Game-Changing Alternative to General Anesthesia
DENVER, COLORADO / ACCESS Newswire / April 18, 2025 / Dr. Stephen Weber is transforming the surgical experience with his exclusive in-office sedation technique, offering patients a safer, more comfortable and more cost-effective alternative to general anesthesia.
Through years of refinement, Dr. Weber has created a pill-based sedation method that is combined with a specialized, dilute lidocaine numbing solution. This combination ensures patients remain relaxed and pain-free throughout their procedures while avoiding the risks, discomfort, expense and prolonged recovery commonly associated with general anesthesia and other deeper anesthesia techniques.
While Dr. Weber's groundbreaking technique is highly effective for facelifts, neck lifts, liposuction, cheek and chin implants, eyelid surgery, facial implants, fat transfer and ear pinning surgery, it is not suitable for more invasive procedures such as brow lifts or rhinoplasty, which still require traditional anesthesia in a surgical setting. In addition, Dr. Weber maintains ambulatory surgery center and local hospital privileges to accommodate surgery for patients that prefer the traditional general anesthetic approach to his portfolio of facial cosmetic surgery procedures.
Convenience, Cost Savings, and Faster Recovery
By performing procedures in his state-of-the-art office surgery suite, Dr. Weber eliminates the need for a separate ambulatory surgical center, reducing risk, cost and logistical challenges for his patients. Traditional hospital-based surgeries often require additional fees, extended recovery times and unpleasant side effects such as nausea and grogginess from general anesthesia. Dr. Weber's in-office oral sedation technique removes these concerns, offering a streamlined, personalized and more convenient experience.
"Patients love the fact that they can undergo procedures like facelift, neck lift, facial implant procedures, and eyelid surgery in a familiar, private setting," says Dr. Weber." They wake up feeling refreshed, without the hangover effect that general anesthesia can cause."
