I had Breast surgery while I was unknowingly 9 wks pregnant: Could the anesthesia have caused my miscarriage 2 weeks post op?

February 11, 2014
Asked By:nddg914

I did not know I was pregnant at the time of surgery, however a pregnancy test was taken. I do not know the results but assuming if it read positive I would have been told. I miscarried about 2 1/2 weeks after surgery. Based on my hormone levels I was around 9 weeks pregnant. Is there a relationship between the general anesthesia or the surgery that would have caused this?? I would think the test taken by the office would have shown up positive at this point.

How much weight do I need to lose to decrease at least one cup size after Breast Augmentation with 425cc/500cc HP Implants?
Tim Sayed, MD, MBA, FACS says:

Sizing for implant cases can be challenging, partially because patients don't always know exactly what they are looking for or have a hard time expressing it, and because bra sizes are nonuniform. Weight loss may reduce breast size slightly (perhaps a half-cup size per 20 lb body weight loss,...
