Can Breast Implant Removal be Carried Out Under Twilight Sedation?

jennypir
I have saline, smooth, round, high profile 300cc implants. they are 12 years old. No problems with them just want simple explant. Without capsulectomy or En Bloc. can removal be done with anethesia? Just local and maybe twilight? Do all explants need drains? I had a Tubal done with twilight and remember nothing about the procedure so I think I could handle saline bags taken out. Does the Dr. have to have an OR suite in his office to do twilight sedation? Thanks
