What anesthesia should I use for breast augmentation?

Since I own my own surgicenter, I have a complete control over who my anesthesiologist is. I use exclusively MD anesthesiologists. Incredibly enough, it is hard to find an MD anesthesiologist who is proficient at Sedation anesthesia.
I myself had to learn how to use local anesthetics in an efficient and comprehensive way so as to minimize the amount of sedation given. A good team proficient in the technique will give you:
1) Great analgesia during surgery- you will not feel anything
2) Amnesia- I have yet, in a year and a half of using exclusively sedation for breast augs, have a patient tell me they remembered anything. As a matter of fact, it is EASIER for a patient to get "light" during general anesthesia (while paralyzed with a tube down their throat) and remember stuff, than it is for a sedated patient with an anesthesiologist competent in sedation techniques. The reason is that during sedation the anesthesiologist will be better able to see and monitor the patient getting light than during general anesthesia.
3) Better analgesia AFTER surgery- Because the nerves were anesthetized BEFORE surgical injury, and because of the greater reliance on longer acting local anesthetics, the patient has less pain after surgery. There is plenty of experimental evidence backing this up.
Sedation gets a bad rep because many MD anesthesiologists learn mostly General anesthesia during their residency and don't feel comfortable with sedation. Sedation is harder and requires more concentration to find the "sweet spot". An MD anesthesiologist not proficient with sedation techniques takes the patient on a roller coaster ride where sometimes the patient is too light, then he overreacts and overmedicates and you find yourself struggling to keep the patient's airway open. An MD anesthesiologist proficient in Sedation techniques gives the patient a smooth ride and the airway is never in question.
I did Breast Aug with General anesthesia for many years, and the best testimonials come from patients who have had both types performed. There is no question they prefer sedation. I will never go back to general anesthesia. In longer cases General Anesthesia has higher risks of pulmonary embolus and pulmonary complications, and in all cases, patients feel much worse after surgery. If it was my daughter, or wife, (or even me!), sedation is the way to go.

Thank you for your question. Both types of anesthesia can provide a safe and comfortable platform for breast augmentation surgery. 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.

Thank you for your question.

I prefer General Anesthesia provided by a board certified Anesthesiologist.

I perform my surgeries in an out patient surgery center, and under general anesthesia only.  I use Board Certified Anesthesiologists  who monitor my patients from start to end so as to provide the safest environment for my patients.  I would recommend general anesthesia for breast surgery so that you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure.
I would suggest that you be very careful with your surgeon  selection and experience. Safety should be the first priority in every surgery.

I hope this helps.
