Leaving my Eyelash Extension on during BA procedure. Is this okay?

Thank you for your question. Your eyelash extensions should not be a problem during your Breast Augmentation procedure. However, be certain to inform your anesthesia provider so that she or he does not apply tape directly over them. Instead, a small folded piece of gauze might be used to protect the extensions before tape is applied over your closed eyes. 

Yes, no problem with this, but your eyes may be taped shut or ointment put in them.  If you are concerned this could ruin the extensions, I would remove them. What is more important from the point of view of your anesthesiologist and surgeon is that you should remove all nailpolish from at least one finger. This is because that vital piece of equipment called a pulse oximeter that measures your blood oxygen saturation has to be placed on a fingertip. It doesn't work if you have nail polish.  The heavy lacquered nail polish have top be removed with acetone, so please do that ahead of time.

Leaving your eyelash extensions on during surgery should not be an issue. There is usually tape applied to your lids during surgery which may result in the loss of some of the lash extensions, so let your surgeon and anesthesiologist know so that they can take precautions.

Yes, just remember to tell your anesthesia provider so they don't place tape directly over your eyes and inadvertently remove your eyelashes with the tape at the end of the case! Good luck with your upcoming BA!!

It should be fine to leave the extensions on. Please discuss this with your anesthesia provider at the time of surgery.  They can take extra care to make sure that tape isn't placed over your eyelashes at the time of your breast augmentation surgery. Good luck!

Thank you for your question.Please relay your question to your surgeon and their team as all of us have different preoperative instructions.For a breast augmentation procedure, there should be no problem with having them on. Hope this helps.

are done all the time.  Just make sure your anesthesia provider is aware of this and will take precautions to prevent pulling them out at the end of the procedure.  This usually means taping eye pads over your lids so the tape never contacts your lashes.

Yes, you may leave your eyelash extensions in place. However, you may be at risk of loosing some of your extensions during the procedure, especially if the anesthesiologist tapes your eyes. Please discuss your eyelashes with your anesthesia physician during your preop meeting.

Hello and thank you for your question. It should be fine to leave your eyelash extensions on as long as you make the Anesthesiologist and O.R. staff aware so they can take precautions while you are under anesthesia (ex: not taping your eyes shut during surgery).
