Health and surgery: Are you safe for surgery. Is surgery safe? This question will depends on your age, medical condition, type of surgery and all other criteria.

Is surgery safe? This question will depends on your age, medical condition, type of surgery and all other criteria. Surgery is safe for some people and it's not safe for others. People have died over surgery like Kayne West's mother. She past away after surgery. The factor here is her and her concurrent medical condition.

Sometimes you need to assess all of the criteria to see if you're safe and then proceed. The doctor will also help you go through an assessment to see if surgery is suitable for your condition. The doctor usually will not proceed if you're deemed unsuitable. The doctor really do a good assessment too. The patients that have an adverse reaction are not really tie to the doctor at all but to the patients body and how it response to the surgery.

Different patients response differently and the outcome is unpredictable sometimes. There are factors that are predictable such as age and concurrent medical conditions. The older you are the riskier it is for you to have surgery. The senior population has a harder time coping after surgery and have more post-surgery complications then younger population. This would make sense because our defense system is weakened as we aged. Our immune system will not be able to heal the way that it does when we were younger.

There are many different criteria to taking into account when you proceed with surgery. One of them is assessing your need for it. If the surgery saves your life then you should take the risk but if it's just breast augmentation then you may not need it. Many people have die over breast augmentation surgery or have other complications like infections and allergic reactions. If a cosmetic surgery risk your life then you shouldn't proceed. This is a risk for young people and older people; however, it's more so for older people. Cosmetic surgery is not that important unless you've been into an accident and need to fix things up. I would not choose to have cosmetic surgery because it can catch up with you in your later years. Overall, if you have current medical illness and you're an elderly, you will ha

higher risk rate than other people. Only your doctor will be able to tell you if you're qualified for a surgery after evaluating you but they may do it with risk in an emergency situation to save your life even if it's amputation.
