**CORAL GABLES, Fla. —** Every elective cosmetic procedure carries risk — and anesthesia is among the most serious. With recent South Florida cases drawing renewed attention to cosmetic-surgery safety, the Coral Gables-based personal-injury and wrongful-death firm [Silva & Silva](https://www.silvasilva.com/) is sharing what patients and families should know before scheduling an elective procedure.According to Silva & Silva, the most important safeguards are often the easiest to overlook. Before any procedure, the firm encourages patients to:- Confirm the facility is properly accredited for the procedure being performed;- Verify that a qualified anesthesia provider — a physician anesthesiologist or certified registered nurse anesthetist — is present and monitoring throughout;- Ask how they will be monitored during and after sedation, and what emergency protocols are in place;- Review the surgeon's qualifications and experience with the specific procedure.Anesthesia complications can escalate quickly, which is why continuous monitoring by trained professionals is essential. When a serious injury or death follows an elective procedure, families are too often left with more questions than answers.Silva & Silva emphasizes that Florida patients have legal protections when a poor outcome results from substandard care. Families who have lost a loved one — or who are coping with a serious injury after a procedure — may have the right to seek answers and accountability.
