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

Answer: Liver damage from alcohol- would this effect getting my breast implants removed? Hello @TokiyoC, thank you for your question. egarding the potential impact of liver damage from alcohol on getting breast implants removed. To make an informed recommendation, more information is needed about your specific case. A consultation is vital to discuss your options and establish a surgical plan that meets your needs and expectations. about anesthesia the safest way to go is general anesthesia which allows to perform surgery removing the implants and the capsule that surrounds it, to avoid future inflammatory processes. However, it's important to have clearance from your primary care physician prior to undergoing surgery, as they can provide valuable insight into any potential risks or concerns related to your liver damage.

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.
