Asked By:1 Amadeus in Los Angeles, CA

Doctors, is it normal to be extremely terrified of general anesthesia? I will like to have a breast augmentation procedure done with a board certified plastic surgeon but my research has revealed that majority of the top PS prefer to use general anesthesia only. Is it normal or common to have such an extreme fear of general anesthesia? Has any of your patients expressed such a fear for it? My fear is the loss of control and feeling that i may not wake up from it. I am a healthy 40yrs old woman.
