Is general anesthesia safe in this case ?
Answer: Safety of anesthesia This depends on your health and medical conditions. It also depends on how big of a procedure is being preformed and what kind of anesthesia will be needed. In general twilight sedation may be a safer option than general anesthesia but the best person to evaluate you for that is your surgeon and his anesthesia team.

Answer: Every patient is different. Before you commit to any surgery, make sure that your doctor performs a thorough evaluation, asks for tests (blood tests, cardiological clearance, etc). I've seen people over 65-70 years old as healthy or more than younger patients who are overweight or smoke/drink heavily, so age is just an indicator. Having said that, for example, most of my patients are under 60 y/o, but that's because they come from abroad, and we can't do a thorough in person evaluation before surgery and the follow up is not ideal. I'd recommend you find a local surgeon who can evaluate your case and tell you if you're a good candidate for surgery.

Answer: Is it normal for someone over 80 years old to have arm lift? Thank you for your question. The risk of surgery and anesthesia typically has less to do with chronological age and more with how your health is. While it is a part of weighing the risks vs. benefits, there are many variables. This operation carries scars. Each plastic surgeon may approach this differently. Also each patient is different. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon. They will evaluate you and together you will make a plan for your goals.
