Asked By:Laurenamybaker in London, GB

Hello, I am getting rhinoplasty on the 11th September in the UK at a good hospital. I'm happy with my chosen surgeon he works in reconstruction/rhinoplasty/septoplasty. I'm 22 I'm healthy my only medical issue is asthma but I don't have symptoms of that anymore. I've been under general anaesthetic before for pinnaplasty and was fine (I was about 8) if I've been under before would that mean I'mlikely to be okay under anaesthetic again? what are the chances of dying during this surgery?
