Breast Augmentation Anesthesia – Types & Risks

There are breast augmentation side effects just like in other surgical procedures. The surgery itself can cause certain side effects. Moreover, during your breast augmentation recovery period, the anesthesia might cause certain symptoms. There are different types of anesthesia you might receive during the surgery. However, the choice of anesthesia depends on the procedure and the surgeon. For instance, you have to under for a longer time if the surgeon has to cut through tissue.

If you read through some breast augmentation reviews, you will learn about some symptoms people face during their breast augmentation recovery period.

There are four different types of anesthesia that can cause breast augmentation side effects; general, local, regional and sedation. In the general type, the surgeon puts you under because of the surgery’s invasive nature. Moreover, there is a possibility that the surgery affects your entire body. In most breast augmentation procedures, surgeons opt for general anesthesia. You might have read in breast augmentation reviews that most patients suffer from symptoms like an allergic reaction, a sore throat, infection, nausea, increased heart rate and swelling.

Surgeons only apply local type anesthesia to the part of the body they are operating upon. While local anesthesia is most common in dentistry, surgeons can use it for breast augmentation surgeries as well. However, surgeons combine it with sedation to keep the patient calm. There aren’t many risks of using local anesthesia. However, you will experience symptoms like a headache and nausea due to sedation, during your breast augmentation recovery.

In the regional type, the surgeon numbs an area of your body. However, surgeons rarely adopt it for breast augmentation surgery. Nonetheless, whichever anesthesia your surgeon recommends, our experts will help guide you to alleviate any breast augmentation problems that you may face.
