title: Blepharoplasty under hypnosis: a personal experience.
abstract: This paper is a first-hand account of my experience undergoing upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery in which hypnosis was used as the primary sedative agent. It describes the basics of hypnosis. It also includes a description of how I prepared myself for surgery as well as how I helped the surgical team prepare for this surgery. Recommendations are offered for nurses who would like to incorporate hypnotherapy into the operating room.
