I have an irrational fear of needles. I'm seeing videos of people getting implants and I'm noticing some look like they are givin an IV or something in their arm right before surgery. Do I have to get that in my arm in order to get breast implants?

Answer: IV all patients really need a IV in the hand or arm to safelty have BA surgery. Luckily this is a quick and relatively painless process. Your PS can talk with you more but I would not let this fear of a simple procedure stop you from surgery. Good luck.

Answer: Do I need IV before getting breast implants? Great question. When undergoing general anesthesia, it is necessary to start an IV before hand so the anesthesiologist can administer medications, so you will not feel the surgical procedure. You can get a prescription for a relaxing medication to have on board that morning before you have the IV. You can also get a topical cream to numb the area that the nurse can put on 30 minutes prior to IV. Also, the anesthesia office will call you a week or two before your surgery to introduce themselves, and ask questions about your medical history. This sometimes alleviates some of the anxiety associated with anesthesia, and steps involved the morning of your surgery. I hope this has helped. Best wishes.

Answer: IV fro Surgery? It is standard for any patient undergoing a surgery that involves even a small amount of sedation to have an IV. This allows both medeicine and rehydrating fluids to move through into your body throughout the surgery. In my practice, if a patient has a fear of needles, a medicine can be prescribed and given beforehand to sedate a person and help alleviate their fears of a needle. Usually the IV comes out before the patient knows what is going on as well. I hope this helps.
