I would like to remove my breast implants. They are roughly 9 years old, no problems with them, simply don't want them any longer. Is it possible to get an explant removal under twilight sedation or something similar w/out going under? I have had 2 kids since & wondering is it possible to do a lift under twilight sedation as well if it is determined one is needed? How do I find a board certified physician to do a procedure that doesn't require me to go completely under (just call around)? Ty!
Answer: Breast implant removal: sedation hello lilac1633 The procedure is an outpatient operation performed under oral sedation, IV sedation, or general anesthesia depending upon the length and complexity of surgery. #post-op #sedation

Answer: Breast Implant Removal So I would like to recommend you be careful about what you are being advised about. Implant removal and complete capsulectomy performed for ASIA, BII or any reason fro that matter is not something to be taken lightly. IV sedation for a case like this would be similar to a general anesthetic. I do these cases weekly and have several the day after Christmas. These cases can become quite involved so it is important to actually get have an appropriate consultation. I will attach a link about BII and implant removal. The video has over 130k views. It is pretty self explanatory as well as the information on the page.

Answer: Can I do an implant removal and breast lift under sedation? HI Lilac, The breast implant removal can be done under sedation unless you have ruptured implants with a hard capsule around the ruptured implant material. If you have hard scar tissue, it would be better for you to have a general anesthetic, especially if the implant is beneath the muscle. I think that every case is unique and you should see a Board certified plastic surgeon for a personal exam to see if you are a candidate for the procedure under local anesthesia with sedation. The breast lift part is a bit more complicated. The answer to this question depends on how large you are and how much work has to be done. Again, the best way to answer your question is with an in person exam by a plastic surgeon.Good Luck,Dr. Christine Rodgers

Answer: Implant removal under twilight sedation Implant removal +/- capsulectomy and a lift are all possible under sedation without general anesthesia. It requires excellent local anesthetic techniques to do this appropriately. Sedation level can be tailored to each patients wants/ needs. We most commonly use a TIVA anesthesia where the experience feels like a nap. No awareness (although it can be lightened to achieve this if desired). No intubation necessary. Muscle tone in the legs is preserved minimizing DVT risk and the wake up is generally quite pleasant and easy.
