Is it safe to use epidural for a breast augmentation should I do it this way!!!
Answer: General anesthesia usually best for breast augmentation If comfort and safety are the primary concerns for anesthesia for breast augmentation, then usually a general anesthetic is best. It may also be reasonable to use deep intravenous sedation, but I have not heard of epidural anesthesia for breast surgery.

Answer: I'm about to have a breast augmentation. I don't want to go under general so my doctor told me we can use epidural anaesthesia hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..Based on your question, ideal for breast augmentation surgeries is epidural and intravenous sedation. this will function as a regional blockade of the area, thus keeping the whole area anesthetized.My recommendation is a consultation with a certified plastic surgeon and discuss everything concerning the subject.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Anesthesia Tia. It is quite unusual to use epidural anesthesia for breast augmentation because of location, that would be a very high epidural. General anesthesia is a proven and safe method for breast augmentation, and by far the best option. Seek a second opinion with a board-certified plastic surgeon regarding this matter. Good luck.

Answer: I'm about to have a breast augmentation. I don't want to go under general so my doctor told me we can use epidural anaesthesia Selected patients may opt for local anesthesia with sedative rather than general anesthetic. However, only your surgeon will be able to decide if you can have the local anesthesia. Discuss with him/her your concern and his/her rationale for opting to use subdural anesthesia, which is not a routine procedure in this case.

Answer: Anesthesia for Breast Augmentation Thank you for your inquiry. I certainly understand and appreciate your concern about having a general anesthesia for breast augmentation. I have been performing breast Augmentation (under the muscle) for over 40 years using local anesthesia and sedation without problem. I encourage you to discuss this modality with your surgeon as this is easily performed and in my opinion much less complicated than having an epidural anesthetic (which would be pretty unusual for this surgery).
