Dear Doctors, I've found a couple of Board Certified Plastic Surgeons through RealSelf, who'd perform surgery while being awake, which is a must for me. I have a couple of intakes next week. I found different opinions when it comes down to iv sedation. I wonder which level or degree of iv sedation is needed to be awake through the whole surgery, and being able to communicate like the patient in the picture. Thank you in advance.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. I perform all of my breast augmentations under general anesthesia with a board-certified MD anesthesiologist present in the room at all times. In my opinion, this is the safest route. If you are set on IV sedation, ask your surgeon who is administering the anesthesia. If it is not a board-certified MD anesthesiologist, I would be weary. There is no substitute for safety. Make sure you

Answer: Breast Augmentation - which level of iv sedation + local anesthesia is needed to be awake through the procedure? Thank you for your question. Remember, it is best to be seen in person by a double-board-certified plastic surgeon for precise diagnosis and treatment.
