A member asked:

Can i still get a brazilian butt lift under general anesthesia if i am a heroin addict in active use?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Your addiction mitigates against use of general anesthesia. Get clean first. And please do not try to slip this past your doctor.

I doubt you will find any anesthesiologists or surgeons willing to treat you under your current addiction.
