Would I still be able to have Breast Implant surgery if i have sleep apnea?

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. If your medical doctor and anesthesiologist feel that you can safely proceed with surgery, you should be ok.

Sleep apnea is an important diagnosis to clarify, and can often leave patients tired during the day. The proper evaluation of sleep apnea would be with a family doctor or internist who may end up referring you to a sleep specialist and ultimately obtaining a sleep study where you are monitored overnight in a sleep lab, after which proper treatment recommendations can be made.

Severe sleep apnea is treated with a CPAP mask which forces higher pressure oxygen into your lungs while sleeping.

Breast augmentation is a relatively safe procedure usually performed under general anesthesia and usually with a rapid recovery and return to relatively normal (non-strenuous) activity almost immediately. However, after undergoing any Surgeyr under general anesthesia it is important to have an adult with you the first post-operative evening to make sure you are stable, breathing well, and feeling well.

I recommend you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon, and possibly be evaluated by the anesthesiologist who will administer anesthesia during your surgery. Best of luck to you.
