Hi I am planing to do my surgery of breast implants removal with a lift and reduction of areolla. I am very scared of going under the knife and going to sleep. I had my implants since 2019 (500-530cc) question is is it a anaesthesia safe?is it different other anaesthesia? Pls yes or no answers. What are the benefits and disadvantages of using Tiva? Thanks xoxo

Answer: Anesthesia risk for breast surgery Overall anesthesia is generally pretty safe. Whether the drugs are given intravenously or gas and Aesthetic agents doesn’t really matter all that much. I suggest you let the anesthesiologist do what they do best and leave the decision making up to them. For very deep sedation having a protected airway has a lot of advantages. There are always inherent risks with having elective surgery. Nobody has to have cosmetic surgery so patients who want these procedures need to recognize that they need to accept the risks involved. While the risks are generally quite small of catastrophic anesthesia complications, they are never zero. Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
