Waking up during breast implant surgery under general anesthesia is rare and should not be a concern

Waking up during breast implant surgery under general anesthesia is extremely rare and should not be a concern. If this remains a fear consider asking for a BIS monitor.

Waking up fduring breast surgery

No one I  have ever treated has woken up during surgery.  The anesthesiologists I work with monitor patients very carefully and keep them very well medicated to avoid this.
