Two times anesthesia in a week?

Question

Hi docs, Is it advisable to go through two times of anesthesia. One would be local anesthesia on my nose, and the other would be general anesthesia for my boob job. Can these be performed together in a week? Or is it not advisable?

Christopher V. Pelletiere, MD · Answer

It should be perfectly safe to have a procedure under local anesthesia and another under general anesthesia spaced out a few days.  The local anesthesia usually metabolizes over a day, so even using more local anesthesia during the general procedure should be safe.  I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.These pricedures can be done at the same time under general anesthesia, there´s no need to have them done seperatly.

I usually perform both porcedures at the same time under general anesthesia.  The combination you are to have is okay.
