How often is nausea and/or vomiting a common occurrence after coming out of anesthesia after breast enhancement? Are there smaller doses or strengths that could decrease the chances? I guess I’m wondering what my chances of being ill after the surgery are and for how long, never have been put under before.

Answer: Worried about anesthesia It's a great question and it's important to speak with your surgeon about your concerns. Prior to your procedure, an anesthesiologist will typically call you to get ready for your procedure the following day. Inform them that you have concerns about nausea and they will discuss your options. In my office, three anti-nausea medications are given during the procedure and nausea after the procedure is typically not an issue.

Answer: Worried about nausea after anesthesia Thank you for your question. Most patients do not get nauseated after anesthesia these days which is great news. If you have motion sickness, you may consider a scopolamine patch the day before surgery and then for a couple of days after. There are also medications such as Zofran that help as well. Because the operation is so short, the chances are low. Discuss your concerns with your anesthesiologist. Best of luck.
