Anesthesia
Anesthesia can be local, regional or generalized. The purpose is to allow for procedures without the patient feeling pain. This can be anything from having a tooth pulled to open heart surgery. The different levels of anesthesia can cause an area to be numb all the way to putting the patient in an induced coma.

General AnestheticNumb All Over - Conscious sedation to knocked outConscious Sedation
Mild - Oral pills (happy pills like Valium, Halcion, Ativan, etc.)
Mild to Moderate - "Laughing gas" (nitrous oxide)
Heavy to Total - Intravenous (IV)
Gases and pills are relatively inexpensive, say, less than $25. However, they are often not covered by insurance since they are viewed more to relieve the emotional stress of dental work rather than as an actual anesthetic. That said, laughing gas can be used to knock you out.

Can hair lose be a side effect of general anesthesia?
I had surgery about six months ago, gall bladder removal, and I have noticed that I have had a significant amount of hair loss but thank goodness I have a lot of hair. It is starting to ease up now but I am not real sure if it is in fact due to the surgery or if it has to do with hormonal changes and age. I am a healthy 30 year old female but they say that we go through hormonal changes every 7 years. Hope this helped some.
