Two Surgeries Under General Anesthetics Within 2 Months Time?

July 23, 2011
Asked By:Tavia12 in Toronto

As mentioned above, is it dangerous to have two surgeries under general anesthetics within two months time? One was wisdom teeth removal and the other is going to be a lipo procedure. Does general anesthetics affect brain functions such as memory lost? What are the short and long term effects? I am worried that having general anesthetics twice within a short time would double the negative effects on my brain if there are some. Thanks.
