NEW YORK, NY, April 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Some of the greatest concerns for women undergoing breast augmentation are the risks and complications associated with the anesthesia used. Hopefully after an initial consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, you will feel at ease regarding anesthesia use so you may move forward with the procedure.
Types of Anesthesia Available for Breast Augmentation
There is a variety of anesthesia available to breast augmentation patients to complement their preferences and concerns. The following is a list of types of anesthesia board-certified plastic surgeons can use during breast augmentation procedures:
- General anesthesia - General anesthesia can be given intravenously, inhaled as a gas or both. Under general anesthesia, you will be completely asleep and will not remember any part of the breast augmentation procedure. Many plastic surgeons prefer general anesthesia because it takes away the risk of patients' moving and interfering with the procedure.
- Sedation anesthesia ("conscious anesthesia") - Conscious sedation is typically administered intravenously. You will feel very relaxed without pain and will likely not remember the entirety of the procedure. Your breast surgeon may also put you into deep sedation where you will sleep through the operation but can be aroused with stimulation.
- Local anesthesia - Your anesthesiologist administers the local anesthetics to numb pain only in a specific area (much like the use of Novocain in your dentist's office). In breast augmentation, local anesthesia is used with conscious sedation. You may pressure or pulling but should feel no pain.
Risks and Complications Associated With Anesthesia
All forms of anesthesia have risks attached. Fortunately, major complications are rare, especially when you have a qualified breast surgeon and anesthesiologist or nurse-anesthetist by your side. Some possible risks associated with anesthesia include:
- Aspiration (an object/liquid inhaled into your respiratory tract)
- Allergic reaction
- Elevated heart rate
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Systemic shock
If you are considering breast augmentation surgery and would like to learn more about the anesthesia used or any other part of the procedure, please visit the website of Dr. Scott E. Newman at Advanced Plastic Surgery in New York City today.

Breast Augmentation and Summer Fashion
2011-04-27
Women who are considering breast augmentation surgery generally want their new shape to be ready for summer. Understandably, they look forward to taking full advantage of all the clothing and fashion they've been unable (or hesitant) to enjoy in the past.
In order to allow for plenty of healing time, breast augmentation candidates should plan to have their procedure completed in the winter or early spring months, such as February or March. With people's busy holiday schedules behind them, and colder weather keeping everyone indoors, these months are an ideal time to ...

Furthering Safety: Banning Hand-Held Cell Phones in Semis
Solely based on their size, semitrucks pose a risk to all other vehicles on the road. Therefore, it is important for truckers to keep their attention focused on the road, minimizing distractions.
To help truckers minimize distraction, the government has banned interstate truckers from texting while driving and has proposed a ban on the use of hand-held cell phones while trucks are in operation.

Emergency surgery coalition needed for future disasters
2011-04-27
In this week's PLoS Medicine, Kathryn Chu, from Médecins Sans Frontières in Cape Town, South Africa, and colleagues describe the experiences of MSF after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and discuss how to improve delivery of surgery in humanitarian disasters. To avoid the supply delays, lack of appropriately experienced surgeons, and duplication and fragmentation of services that characterized the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, they propose the formation of the Emergency Surgery Coalition (ESC), a group consisting of organizations with extensive experience in delivering ...
Caterpillars inspire new movements in soft robots
2011-04-27
Researchers have been examining the diverse behaviours of caterpillars to find solutions for the new generation of search and rescue soft robots.
Despite their extreme flexibility and adaptability, current soft-bodied robots are often limited by their slow speed, leading the researchers to turn to terrestrial soft-bodied animals for inspiration.
Some caterpillars have the extraordinary ability to rapidly curl themselves into a wheel and propel themselves away from predators. This highly dynamic process, called ballistic rolling, is one of the fastest wheeling behaviours ...
Transferring doctors to heart attack patients improves outcomes
2011-04-27
In a large, traffic-congested city in China, severe heart attack patients received treatment faster and had better long-term results when interventional physicians were taken to them, according to a study in the American Heart Association journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
The REVERSE-STEMI study involved 334 patients who had suffered a ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a severe form of heart attack.
The patients were initially brought to one of five hospitals, all in Shanghai, China, that didn't have specialists who could perform primary ...
