Possible to Have a Breast Lift While Awake?

It is certainly possible to have almost any surgery while awake.
It may not be pleasant, and some patients feel anxiety during the procedure, but any qualified plastic surgeon can do that anesthetic choice. The reason they don't usually choose to do more major surgeries under local anesthesia is solely for patient comfort.
In carefully selected patients, very mild sedation can be used to make the procedure more pleasant.

Thank you for your question. Both types of anesthesia can provide a safe and comfortable platform for breast lift surgery, but this may depend on the type of breast lift as you will need more local anesthesia to help you stay comfortable.It is more important that you feel comfortable with your surgeon and the surgical plan as this is ultimately what you will be remembering after the procedure.

Although possible, I would not suggest that you have your breast lifting done “while awake”. There are many reason (that have to do with patient comfort and outcome of surgery)  to do the surgery under anesthesia. You will find that, assuming you're working with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons and anesthesiologists in a fully accredited the surgery center or hospital ( and assuming that you are in good health currently),  that you will be very safe...

I hope this helps.
