Recently Had Colonospy, Dr.said He Experienced Bradycardia While I Was Under. Need Facelift and Eyes, Scared to Be Put Under?

Some patients do experience bradycardia during sedation. Before considering general anesthesia, you should first check with your internist and/or see a cardiologist to determine if your bradycardia is benign or an indicator of other cardiac problems. If it is determined to be benign, you are actually in a better situation having your procedure under general anesthesia since the anesthesiologist will be able to use medications to speed up your heart rate if it should get too low during surgery.

If you have any concerns about general anesthesia then find a surgeon who can perform your procedures under local anesthesia; I exclusively perform my cosmetic procedures under local anesthesia and my patients are very comfortable and appreciate not having to go 'under'. Research for surgeons that can do this. If you would prefer general anesthesia, your surgeon can discuss how this would affect your bradycardia and if you would need a medical clearance prior to the procedure.
