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?

Answer: General anesthesia Thanks for your question! I would strongly advise against doing this with anything other than general anesthesia. I might suggest doing some more research. General anesthesia for a young, healthy patient is actually very safe. Best of luck!

Answer: Possible for sub-glandular This is not a common request, but it is possible to do. It does limit the kind of breast augmentation that can be performed, and in the end may not provide the best possible result. In most patients I prefer to perform a dual-plane breast augmentation, where part of the implant is placed under the muscle. It is not possible to do this without general anesthesia. It sounds like you aren't interested in this however, and want a sub-glandular breast augmentation. This can be performed with light sedation.
