when I was 9 I was put under for an operation and had an allergic reaction to the anasthetic which triggered an asthma attack, I’m now 19 and wanting a few surgeries and have outgrown my asthma and was wondering if I went to get allergy testing done for anaesthetic and it came back okay with no reaction would I’d be okay to be fully put under again? or would most surgeons still not want to risk it because of what happened 10 years ago

Answer: With full medical evaluation and clearance, should be ok I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Anesthesia reaction Dear Thoughtful447617, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
