I would like a mommy makeover to include a full tummy tuck, breast lift and some flank area lipo. Im 33 & have had 3 kids. I am healthy but was recently diagnosed with Idiopathic subglottic stenosis. I underwent laser and balloon dilation surgery with my ENT and he has corrected the problem But says I should avoid intubation if possible. Am I still able to get the mommy makeover I want w/o being intubated? I really want the surgery, it's been a dream of mine 14 yes.. Please advise! Thanks.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Desired - can it be performed without being intubated? Yes, it is possible (but what exactly will be the best option for you will depend on careful consideration of all options and discussion with careful preoperative planning with your anesthesiologist and plastic surgeon). Generally speaking, there are a variety of different "types" of anesthesia options available to patients undergoing mommy makeover surgery. Your best bet: choose your plastic surgeon very carefully; everything else including good judgment/advice/planning, anesthesia provider and safe surgery facility will follow. Best wishes.

Answer: Mommy makeover without intubation I am sorry to hear about your problems with your ISS. Do you have severe diastasis that needs to be corrected? This is difficult to do well without general anesthesia and muscle relaxation. If all you need is tightening your abdominal skin with breast surgery and liposuction then an LMA may be adequate. It also will be a good idea to have an anesthesia consult before your surgery. Good luck!
