Can you be tested to see if you are allergic to anesthesia before under going surgery for a Tummy Tuck?

Question

I am paranoid I am going to have some type of allergic reaction and die while in surgery. How can I be reassured this wont happen?

Kevin Tehrani, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. Your concern is very common in patients undergoing General anesthesia. Especially a mom of three children like yourself usually feels particularly vulnerable undergoing general anesthetic. As long as you are healthy and your preop workup does not reveal any abnormalities, chances of having any complications from Gen. Anastasia are less than flying in an airplane or driving your car. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in person.
