Two Surgeries Under General Anesthetics Within 2 Months Time?

Tavia12Jul 23, 2011
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.

Antibiotics:  There are not good studies that confirm that giving patients a preventative antibiotic reduces the incidence of infection with liposuction. Getting an infection after local anesthesia liposuction that is not done in combination with other surgical procedures is very, very rare...

Thank you for your question. A large mons is caused by a pad of fat that is located on the lowest part of the abdomen. Nonsurgical treatment includes weight loss using diet and exercise, but this doesn't always work. If the overlying skin is thick and elastic, then liposuction can be a good...
