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: Surgery You will need a medical clearance for surgery from your medical doctor. If you are healthy enough for surgery and want to proceed, then get it done. If you are worried about dying during surgery, then don't have elective surgery.
