I would highly recommend this course since the informational videos show you every step of the way on how to perform local anesthesia and is just priceless! I especially like that the extensive resource pages (which are included) list what and where to order everything you need to be successful and even gives you all the detailed consent forms and patient education forms to start using this invaluable technique right away.Ā

Prepared By Dr. Hansen, MD
Dr. Hansen has spent 39 years in plastic surgery, building a Beverly Hills practice around liposuction, facelift, and cosmetic procedures ā with a growing focus on doing them awake, under local anesthesia, instead of defaulting to general anesthesia.
That clinical focus grew intoĀ Cosmetic Surgery Awake, a platform built on the same principle behind this course: patients do better when they understand exactly what's happening to them, and physicians build stronger practices when they're transparent about both the medicine and the fee.
