What is Safe Time to Be Under Anesthesia?

As long as you're cleared by the appropriate doctors, you should be okay.  However, if you have any concerns you may want to think about dividing your surgeries up into 2-3 sessions instead of one big one.

I am concerned about your pulmonary history.   I generally tell patients that if they are asking whether their medical problems allow cosmetic surgery to still be safe, they need to seriously consider the risk to benefits of a procedure.

Without knowing your exact condition and severity, I cannot make recommendations to whether your procedure is appropriate or needs to be shortened.   I ask that you visit carefully with your physicians and even get a 2nd opinion to ensure that you are making the best decision.

 

I wish you a safe and healthy recovery.
