This is probably a really dumb question but I watch alooooooot of medical shows and read a lot of stories about people dying because of reactions to the anesthesia, people die of some crazy stuff. Is it possible that something bad could happen during this surgery? I appreciate all your answers. Thanks for taking your time out to answer all my questions.

Answer: How high is the possibility of dying during this surgery? Your concerns about undergoing surgery/anesthesia are understandable and very common. Assuming you have chosen your plastic surgeon carefully and he/she works with well experienced anesthesia providers in a fully accredited surgery center, the chances of you dying are extremely small. Of course, your past medical and surgical history should be carefully evaluated as well. Based on your question and the ( almost palpable) anxiety, I think that you will be best off spending additional time with your plastic surgeon discussing your specific concerns. You should be aware that, generally speaking, patients who are relatively calm prior to surgery tend to do well afterwards as well. Best wishes.
