Is a breast lift with implant removal under local anesthesia safe?

Asked By:tanper in Miami, FL

I have 13 year old implants. Right breast had a painful capsule since the very beginning. 1 month ago that right implant popped and thankfully no more pain. I am looking to remove implants and do a full lift (anchor). I have visited several doctors and one doctor will do under local anesthesia and sedation with no drains. Is this common?? I like that the recover will be faster than general anesthesia and no drains but I also want the safest option.
