I’m a kidney patient & want breast lift with implants - is it true anesthesia can cause kidney failure?

Hello You could be a candidate for breast surgery with implants, with local anesthesia with sedation, but that depends on the severity of your initial problem. It will depend on previous studies due to your special condition, you could have your breast augmentation if all the factors are in your favor.

If you have significantly compromised kidney function, then it may not be appropriate to have an elective cosmetic surgery.

Having only one functioning kidney isn’t a problem as long as it’s working well.
If you’re overall kidney function is decreased then you should talk to your nephrologist about getting elective cosmetic surgery.
All plastic surgeons will most likely insist on getting nephrology clearance so it’s never a yes or no answer. It simply depends on your kidney function.
Including recent kidney function, blood tests would be helpful.
