Can 30 min of IV sedation cause telogen effluvium?

April 17, 2022
Asked By:Postale in New York, New York

I have over the muscle smooth silicone breast implants that I want to get removed. There are no complications, just want them out. My surgeon says he can do it with local anesthesia but also with IV sedation. Which I guess is like twilight. Could the IV part of the anesthesia trigger telogen effluvium of my scalp hair?
