Is it safe to have implant removal under local anesthesia when pregnant?
lizzie713Jan 20, 2022
9 weeks prenant.. have been having issues with my implants prior to pregancy. I met with two different surgeons prior to finding out i am pregnant, both surgeons said that it can be done under local anasthesia and will take about 30 minutes, do not require drains. I do not have capsules. I am OK with waiting until second trimester before proceeding. MY OBGYN and Plastic Surgeon both approved me to have the procedure done. Looking for more opinions... Is this safe to do while being pregnant?
