Could i have an epidural for a cosmetic procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Generally epidural anesthesia is available for pain associated with surgery of the abdomen, back and legs. If your cosmetic surgery involves these areas then it might be possible but speak with surgeon and anesthesiologist first.
