Dr. Bastidas Specializes In
Pediatric Procedures under Local Anesthesia
Having your child undergo general anesthesia is often anxiety inducing for most parents. Most doctors are uncomfortable operating on awake children, even for small procedures such as the removal of simple lumps and bumps. As a fellowship trained pediatric plastic surgeon, Dr. Bastidas can safely perform a large portion of procedures in the office under local anesthesia.
These procedures include but are not limited to:
- Birthmark excision
- Skin Biopsies
- Skin tag removal / Ear remnants
- Cyst Removals
- Removal of Extra fingers and toes
- Laser Procedures
- Tongue Tie Release
- Ear Pinning (child usually at least 6-8 yrs old)
- Repair of lacerations and cuts
We encourage feeding your child immediately before the procedure to relax them. Parents are allowed to stay in the room if they wish during the entire procedure.
