How about the 18 year old girl from Florida who died today after the breast implants? I guess we all need to remember there is no risk free surgery.

From what I have been able to find out she had a very rare (like 1 in 500,000) reaction to the general. Our anesthesiologists keep drugs on hand for this occurrence, The articles I read said that the drug was not administered until she reached the hospital. The chance of survival drops very fast the longer it takes to receive this drug.

 

It is a very emotional case as she was trying to correct cosmetic "defects", an inverted nipple and a difference in breast size. She had a very promising future from all accounts and I am sure will be missed. However there are no tests that I know of to check for this reaction.

I am a hair restoration client and have 10 years experience in the hair restoration industry, all my views are my own
