Breast Augmentation with Local Anesthesia? (Photo)

S
samii699May 16, 2023

I’m 22 years old, I don’t want general anesthesia due to side effects of it. I want a breast augmentation over the muscle with 0 or VERY minimum sedation. I’ve been looking but I can’t find anyone in Canada. I’m willing to travel anywhere for this surgery with Local. Do surgeons even do this?

The problem that you are seeing is an elongated distance from the nipple to the breast fold. This makes the breasts look low or "bottomed out". A double bubble deformity is a different entity. The issue you are noticing can be from too large of an implant, poor technique, need for a breast lift...

If you are 18 years of age and are able to provide consent for your own procedure, you can proceed with the surgery. There should not be many changes to your breasts at your age unless you have significant changes in weight, pregnancy, start birth control or any other hormonal changes.
