Can you advise on breast fat transfer & family history of malignant hypothermia?

gouldk1
I have been considering a breast fat transfer for 2 years but have a family history of malignant hypothermia. I have never been under anesthetic. In Canada there is a waitlist of at least 3 years for the caffeine halothane contract test. Are there surgeons who do this procedure with anesthesia without the triggers? Are there other options so I can have this procedure done? Is it safe to get put under if the surgeon stocks dantrolene?
