Anesthesia for Breast Augmentation

Anesthesia for breast augmentation

A breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia. This form of anesthesia is very safe and controlled, but during a breast consultation many women tell me they are mainly afraid of the anesthesia. Even though the procedure only takes half an hour, some women still find it a scary idea. This is mainly due to unfamiliarity with anesthesia and the fear of not being in control. That is why one of my regular anesthesiologists, Alice van der Schors, has made a very nice, informative video about how this all works. The video is in Dutch.
