Answer: Breast reduction anesthesia? Hello and thanks for your questions. I know it is a bit worrisome to think about having a breathing device during surgery, but this is the only way that such a large procedure can be accomplished. It is done every day this way all over the world.

Answer: Anesthesia Yes, it is standard to have a breathing tube for surgery, as you will be receiving general anesthesia. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified, Double Fellowship-Trained Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Is it common to be given a breathing tube during a breast reduction? Breast reduction surgery is one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform; it is often done under general anesthesia. The device that is used to "control the airway" may be an endotracheal tube (a tube that goes through the patient's vocal cords) OR a laryngeal mask airway (LMA), which is a device that keeps the patient's airway open (but is placed above the patient's vocal cords). There are pros/cons associated with each option and sometimes, depending on the specific patient's situation, a specific type of device may be preferred. My best advice: careful selection of plastic surgeon. Make sure that he/she is a board certified plastic surgeon who works with a well experienced anesthesia provider ( in my practice a board-certified anesthesiologist), in a fully accredited surgery facility. I hope this helps.

Answer: Do you mean general anesthesia when you say 'breathing tube'? Breast reductions are routinely done under general anesthesia as insurance in involved and will cover their costs per their agreement with the anesthesiologist. The procedure is at least a 2.5 hour procedure and can last up to 4 hours so its best to be under general with your anesthesiologist making sure you are okay during the procedure. I can't think of doing such a procedure under local/sedation.
