Is twilight anesthesia safe for a breast augmentation & why would a surgeon prefer it?

Asked By:Exciting748104 in Colorado

I am starting to get in my head about my surgeon doing twilight anesthesia. He explained the process to me, and his success with it for a long time. I have the option of going under general anesthesia with an anesthesiologist if I want to. I do like the idea of not having to go through general anesthesia, but I also feel a little uneasy since twilight doesn’t seem as common. Is twilight anesthesia safe? Should I be worried? Why would a surgeon prefer this method? Thank you for your help!!
