Has anyone had their implants removed and replaced under a local in the Dr. office?

By stymied on 03 Jul 2012

I am having my saline implants removed and replaced with silicon implants because of a bubble like place on each one of my implants that the Dr. says is rippling but i think is because it is not fully filled as it is on both breasts on the top like a bubble..any way to make me happy he offered to replace with silicone at his cost...$1500 for the new implants and the 500 for his stuff he will use to do the surgery.  Has anyone had the implants done in the Dr. office under a local.  I am just curious how it went.  Feed back would be great. Thanks

Here's what some doctors have to say about getting implants under local anesthesia. Hope some other ladies chime in and let you know about their experiences!

I havent had any feed back..except the Doctors telling me to put them under the muscle, which my doctor says I can not do as they would just flip out again into their original pocket..so I am having them over the muscle..silicon instead of saline.
