Answer: Discuss with your surgeon It would be best to discuss this issue with your surgeon rather than speculate, as they know the specific details of your surgery.

Answer: Anesthesia This form may be a little misleading. Have you spoken with your surgeon about this? There are many things that go on between the time you enter the operating room to when the surgeon makes her/his first incision. For example: you are positioned on the table, you are hooked up to the monitors, you are draped for surgery, your skin is prepped for surgery, etc. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon for clarification.

Answer: Surgery Surgery may need to be delayed for many reasons. Sometimes equipment is not ready, implants have not arrived, the doctor is finishing in another room, or sometimes it takes longer just to get the patient completely ready for surgery. You might ask your surgeon. OR surgical time does not start until the surgeon starts.

Answer: Breast augmentation timing From entering the room to starting surgery many small things can happen on anesthesia and surgery preparation side, to delay actual start of surgery, time of incision. Providing that you did well and that you are satisfied with result, this time should not matter. Hope this helps.

Answer: Waiting for surgery Dear Tasteful727168, it is not unusual because you spend a lot of time in preparation of surgical field, draping, wtc.
