I was told the brain aneurysm would never bother me. But I also know anesthesia is the most dangerous part of an operation (or supposedly). Would it be safe to have general anesthesia?
Answer: Well, you don't need general anesthesia for a rhinoplasty. With IV sedation, you would sleep through the procedure and not know it happened, but wouldn't need a breathing tube like in general anesthesia.In cases like yours, I generally punt the decision to the neurosurgeon who evaluated your aneurysm. We would tell him what you want to plan, and you would need his blessing to go ahead. It doesn't sound like something that should prevent you, but your doctor knows the details of the case.

Answer: I have a small brain aneurysm and would like to get rhinoplasty. Is it safe to have general anesthesia? That is a question that you would have to get sorted out and cleared by your neurologist/neurosurgeon prior to any cosmetic procedure being considered. The anesthesiologist should also be involved in this discussion as well. Best wishes.

Answer: I have a small brain aneurysm I would like to get rhinoplasty It's best to have a frank discussion between your neurologist, primary care physician, rhinoplasty specialist and anesthesiologist prior to the day of surgery. Probably best to get medical clearance from your neurologist to make sure that the aneurysm is fixed and stable and not expanding.
