Question:
I have had anesthesia in the past and have always been nauseous afterward. I am planning on getting a breast lift and would like to know if there is some way to prevent this from happening.
Answer:
Nausea and vomiting are the most common side effects from anesthesia but both are far better controlled after surgery than they were in the past.
Intravenous medications can be given at the first hint of nausea to control the symptoms and prevent vomiting, which can cause significant stress on surgical incisions. Some anesthesiologists actually provide anti-nausea medications at the end of surgery to help prevent nausea during that early part of recovery from anesthesia. There is also medication that can be given prior to surgery as well.
Please speak with your anesthesiologist thoroughly before your surgery regarding your concerns.

"I have had great results with two procedures and would love a third! I would highly recommend Dr. Kenneth Siporin--and I have. I am greatly appreciative of Ken and all the staff there. I have always had a blast and felt very comfortable with Dr. Siporin. I know my father really enjoyed his experience and outcome as well."
