What amount of time is reasonable for time under general anesthetic (70 year old woman)?

Hi tasteful,

Age is not the determining factor here. What is your general health like?
How much has to be done to your face? What type of techniques is your prospective surgeon discussing with you? Have had cosmetic surgery done before? What sort of anesthesiologist will you have? All these questions need to be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Hope this helps a bit.

Best Wishes and good Luck!

Thank you for your question. Your age in important but your general health is the most important factor to determined your risk for surgery. Are you in any meds, have your had your general physical every year etc. Also some of us don’t use general anesthesia for this procedures so what I recommend to you is to seek a consultation with a board certified Plastic surgeon to present your case.
