Hi I'm thinking of getting out my breast implants (large size) I had it on 2019. I want to take it out and be healthy again. I want my natural body. I keep thinking for last two years I'm going to die during the surgery or be in a coma. I have no support around me no friends or anything. I am honestly very scared to die and Leave this earth! Would having a liver damage ( I don't need a transplant or anything like that) effect the local / general anesthesia? Should I go forward with surgery? Thx

You may also require clearance from your specialist before proceeding with surgery. These criteria will influence whether or not it is safe for you to have implant removal.

Answer: Implant removal in patient with liver issue Implant removal is a simple surgery and, if needed, it may be done in local anestesia. However, if you have large implants, it is very likely that you will need a breast lift to end up with properly shaped, symmertic breasts. In that case, general or MAC ansethesia may be needed. It is best to consult your medical doctor and/or gastroenterologyst and plastic surgeon to see whether your liver function will be an issue. Hope this helps.
