I've heard horror stories of women who stop breathing during surgery and either die or recover with serious brain damage. I'm ready to have a breast augmentation but this irrational fear is truly holding me back. Is it really anything to be worried about?
Answer: Nervous about anesthesia, what is the possibility of something going wrong? You have the normal anxiety jitters experienced by many plastic surgery patients. The best way to lessen your concern is to discuss your medical experience with both the anesthesiologist and plastic surgeon. The better informed you are about the pre-op stages of the BAM, the less nervous you will be. You can request that anti-anxiety medication be administered to you to calm your nerves before surgery. Our surgery center pipes in music, has bubbling fountains, and a nurturing surgery team who soothes the patient with a warm blanket and reassures them of the safety of the procedures as they remind them of the benefits of having the BAM.

Answer: Anesthesia It is normal to be a little nervous about surgery. Keep in mind during your surgery you will have an entire trained medical team whose number one priority is your safety. Modern anesthesia is much different than in years past. Serious complications from a healthy patient during a shorter procedure are very rare. There are some things that you can do to ensure you are doing what you can for your safety. Select a board certified plastic surgeon with whom you feel comfortable and confident and have your surgery performed at an accredited facility.

Answer: Nervous about anesthesia, what is the possibility of something going wrong? There is no such thing as minor surgery - all surgery carries risks. However, something bad is more likely to happen to you in the car on the way to the surgery clinic than under the anesthetic. The risk of the anesthetic is extremely low - provided you are under the care of a board certified anesthesiologist in an inspected and certified facility. All the best.

Answer: Breast augmentation There is always the extremely rare possibility of a drug reaction to anesthesia, and I have never seen this in my experience with over 7000 breast breast augmentation patients. I recommend an in person evaluation by a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.
