You may consider yourself ineligible for surgery if you cannot undergo a procedure requiring a general anesthetic. Dr. Schwartz wants to reassure you that this is not a requirement for his lipedema surgeries. He has an innovative anesthesia protocol for his Schwartz Rapid Recuperation™ called TIVA (total intravenous anesthesia). You can be safely asleep during the surgery without a breathing tube or the use of gases with unpleasant side effects.
