Anesthesia for Mommy Makeover

I recommend general anesthesia for the procedures you are discussing for safety concerns.

As always, it is important to make sure that your procedure is being performed by a board-certified Plastic Surgeon.

People are often misinformed about the safety of general anesthesia. more
