Is It Safe to Have my Breast Implants Removed in my Doctors Office??

Hi, i am 24 years old and have had silicone breast implants for 2 years. And i am wanting them out! My Dr. who put them in, told me he would take them out for free in his office. That he would only numb my breasts, not put me out. Being awake sorta scares me.. But i have no money, so i am considering this. So my question is, Is this safe? Do other doctors do this?
