Answer: I'm so scared of general anesthesia! For breast implant surgery Anxiety prior to surgery is very normal; its complete elimination is usually not possible. Assuming you have chosen your plastic surgeon carefully, other important "variables" such as anesthesia provider and surgery facility will be selected based on everyone's first priority: safety. This careful selection should give you some peace of mind that you will be safe around the time of surgery. Discuss your specific areas of concerns with your plastic surgeon who will be in the best position to help you calm your nerves.

Answer: Anesthesia concerns Here's my first bit of advice: take a deep breath and relax!I perform breast augmentation on patients under general anesthesia every day. It is safe, and in my eyes, absolutely superior to doing the operation under local or regional anesthesia. It allows the best results from the operation, and an incredibly low complication rate.I think most important thing to consider when undergoing breast augmentation is that you find a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of plastic surgery has extensive experience in the procedure and understands how to do it safely to ensure the best for their patients. Many surgeons, myself included, will do the procedure with board certified anesthesiologist to ensure the best possible outcomes. With regard to the very, very small risk for reactions to anesthesia, most facilities are prepared to deal with them and prevent any complications. Again… This is were choosing the right surgeon and anesthesiologist is critical to get the best resultsI wish you the best,Dr. Gabbay
