Asked By:champions in Orlando, FL

I had my implants 4 years ago, under the muscle. I went from an A cup to a B cup. But I never really wanted them in the first place. I want them removed my plastic surgeon who place them says that he can remove it with local anesthesia (lidocaine) in the medical office. I will be wide awake. Is that safe, will I feel the pain?
