Do Your Nose Surgery Homework Or Get A Stroke

Relax. It’s not as bad as it sounds.

Joe Serio, a nose enhancement patient wishes it were better though.

WCTV reported a story about a plastic surgery procedure that went wrong last month. They spoke about Joe Serio, who had a nose enhancement procedure without considering all the aspects of an operation.

Some nose surgery in Los Angeles patients require administration of general anesthesia and Joe apparently, was one of them. While under anesthesia, Joe suffered a stroke, which resulted in loss of vision in his right eye. Coming on the heels of a similar complication in a British woman’s face lift, this comes as a precautionary tale and should not be disregarded.

Anesthesia risks in cosmetic surgery are not uncommon, but even then, are very rare. Check if your family has a history of anesthesia intolerance and present your plastic surgeon in Los Angeles with all your medical history or any health problems you may have.

Regardless of this, risks during or after a surgery for nose enhancement in Los Angeles cannot be avoided. The same can be said for any other surgery. What you can do though, is reduce the level of risk.

One way you can do this is by educating yourself about the procedure and communicating with your doctor. Get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to know more.
