Is it dangerous to be under anesthesia for 2 hours? Can you do a very small amount liposuction at the same time as a boob job?

Asked By:HannahStyle in Little York, IN

Im planning on getting my breast enhanced and putting in allergan (?)/ gummy bears, I also want to have a liposuction underneath my chin. I'm not overweight (bmi 22.5). The plastic surgeon said we can do it at separate times or at the same time. He said it will take 1 hour per surgery. So total time of anaesthesia would be 2 hours, Is this dangerous? Im 26 years and have OK health except IGA deficiency. is it safe to do a "boob job" and a little liposuction at the same thing?
