Breast implant exchange under local anesthesia?

October 18, 2018
Asked By:Leia6820

I had breast augmentation surgery 2 months ago. My Surgeon put 275 cc in the right and 300 cc on the left as he was trying to fix some asymmetry. The right breast looks a lot smaller and the left is also wider. I’d like to have the 275 cc swapped out for 300 cc. They were placed under the muscle. My question is what is the recovery like with an implant swap? It will be done in his surgical center but under local anesthesia. Can I drive myself? Does time off work need to be taken? Drop again?
