Dear Ms. Charon91,Thank you for your questions.Sleep apnea per sae will not affect your surgeon technically.What matters is the total amount of anesthesia used how long it takes to wear off,and how severe your sleep apnea is. I suggest you make several different consultative appointments with experienced Plastic Surgeons who are Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and who are ideally members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).After you have chosen your Plastic Surgeon I would have you talk with Anestheologist prior to your surgery and discuss your sleep apnea history and current treatment. My best wishes, R. A. Hardesty, MD, FACSDiplomate and Certified by the Am. Bd. of Plastic Surgerywwwimagineplasticsurgery.com4646 Brockton AveRiverside, Ca 92506(951) 686-7600
