Just quit using Cocaine, Breast Aug scheduled 1 week from now, do I need to worry about the Anesthia?

Do not proceed with your surgery as you are at marked increased risks of complications from both recent use of cocaine and ongoing nicotine use. You need to have medical clearance at a minimum from the anesthesiologist who needs to know of this history, and need to be off both cocaine and nicotine for months prior to elective surgery. I also strongly recommend that you are candid with your surgeon and never hold back medical details that could affect your health. There is a sacred patient physician relationship restricting him from sharing any of your medical information. Of interest is that you are worried about keeping this a secret yet posted your face pictures on this posting despite considering a breast surgery.

Please discuss your use of cocaine and any other medications/drugs with your surgeon and anesthesia provider. This conversation should take place well in advance of your surgical procedure so that all of your health care providers are 'on board'. 

I am glad that you quit using cocaine and that you are open about it.  The most important thing is for you to discuss this openly with your surgeon and the anesthesiologist so they can ensure that it is safe for you to have surgery.  As for confidentiality, they are bound by HIPAA regulations to keep everything confidential. 

 

Good Luck.

Yes you need to worry about the anesthesia and your surgery and discuss these issues fully with your surgeon and surgical team.

I would VERY STRONGLY recommend that you not proceed with your surgery due to the recent cocaine use. In my practice I would ask that you be off of the drug for AT LEAST 1 month, otherwise, you can have potentially dangerous issues come up during surgery.  It's very important to discuss your history honestly with your surgeon and anesthesiologist.
