Where I am going is putting me under general. I've been under before for breast augmentation and had no trouble. Should I be worried about risk?

Answer: Anesthesia From your description you are a good candidate for surgery with low risk. It is normal to be nervous about anesthesia but a healthy person undergoing liposuction by a board certified plastic surgeon would have a low risk of complications. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns. It's important that you are comfortable and confident as you prepare for surgery.

Answer: Surgery Liposuction is one of the safest surgeries that plastic surgeons do. General anesthesia is also very safe and much easier to tolerate now with better drugs. You had a more invasive procedure and did well. Hopefully, you will do just as well this time.

Answer: You should have a normal risk profile for this procedure Based on the information you have provided he seemed to have a normal risk profile for this procedure. Liposuction of the anterior and posterior abdomen and trunk as well as of the arms in a normal BMI patient should. Be a safe procedure that does not involve removal of a dangerous amount of fat. Some surgeons, like myself, are able to perform liposuction procedures under local anesthesia in the office, but the vast majority of these procedures were done under general anesthesia in a very safe.
