Is a breathing tube down the throat done with breast augmentations?

Hi gaineybears, I understand your concern. The use of breathing tube will depend on the type of anesthesia used during surgery. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Make sure your surgeon understands your concerns. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question It depends on the anesthesia used by the anesthesiologist, usually for the breasts it is used blockage (epidural) and soft sedation.An oropharyngeal cannula is placed in the same way for greater patient safety.
