Answer: Can breast implants be removed under local anesthetic? Yes. In many cases breast implants can be removed under local anesthesia if you are not planning on combining explant surgery (removal of breast implants) with any other surgeries. There are many options for implant removal without replacement of the implant. Some women who have explant plan to replace some volume with fat transfer to the breast and/or add a breast lift to the procedure plan to tighten up loose skin. In the later cases the explant would typically be done under a general anesthesia.

Answer: Implant removal under local anaesthetic Dear BAquestions23, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to get removal under local anesthesia. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
