Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It is highly unlikely that the same episode could occur again, if the treating surgeon avoids the concerned medications that were the cause of the allergic reaction.
You might consult the surgeon and the anesthetist, associated with the said procedure to know the exact medications associated with the incident.
In case your surgeons feel that that the procedure can be repeated again, probably by taking precautions, then you can definitely go ahead with the procedure after due time.
Hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
Regards

I just had ultrasound of my heart today everything is normal and no abnormalities so far since the incident , is there any case like me that went tru surgery unsuccessful bec. of anesthesia allergy that heart stop and went tru again for a surgery after a couple of yrs? coz, I am really worried but still want to get my beast done since there is already a scar in my armpit passage of the silicone bag. by the way during that surgery there is no anesthesiologist only my cosmetic surgeon, they say next time i'll be needing a anesthesiologist next time, frankly i've been confident before since i've had operation Major 3x before now i dont know scared but still want too
Hello XXXXXXX
Since the heart has been shown to be normal, there is no need to be concerned about.
There have been many instances, where in reaction to anesthesia has lead to severe complications in the operating room including death of patients.
But presence of a experienced anesthetist is very essential for proper and safe anesthesia, so that such complications can be avoided.
You can go ahead with the proposed surgery, but after making sure that you are in safe hands, and the anesthesia is not being provided by your cosmetic surgeon but a experienced anesthetist.
I hope this helps.
