Dentures during breast augmentation surgery?

Question

Do you have to remove your dentures during surgery. I really do not want to and it is only top dentures and they are really secured because I use glue.

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Most anesthesiologists will make you remove your dentures prior to going asleep for breast surgery.  Best of luck.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

That is really a question for the anesthesiologist.  If your anesthesiologist wants them removed, you should do so.  If you are having the procedure under local anesthesia, ask your surgeon.  There is no right or wrong answer, it's really a matter of an anesthesiologist's preference.

Richard A. Bartlett, MD · Answer

This should be discussed with the anesthesiologist, preferable before the day of surgery so that you don't have a unpleasant surprise.  I have had anesthesiologists allow the dentures to stay and others ask to have them taken out.  the most important thing is that you let the anesthesia team know about the dentures.  Safety is always the top priority.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Dentures are often removed during surgery. It is a question best asked when you speak with the anesthesiologist.

R. Michael Koch, MD · Answer

Hello,

This will have to be decided by the anesthesiologist however, it is very likely that they will want you to remove them for safety purposes.

Good luck with your surgery!
