Is it safe to have Tumescent Liposuction if I have malignant hyperthermia?

Asked By:melissawren in Bellevue, Washington

I have malignant hyperthermia and am really interested in having tumescent liposuction. I would obviously not go under general anesthesia due to the risk but I am wondering what questions I should be asking the surgeon to make sure I am safe? With my condition, is this even a safe procedure to consider? Besides having malignant hyperthermia, I am healthy, close to my ideal weight, (just want lipo in my abdomen and flanks) and 40 years old. Thank you in advance. :)
