I had my 305cc textured gummy implants placed under the muscle almost 10 years ago in 2014. So far I don't have any complications or capsular contracture symptoms. I no longer want to have implants inside me. My question is can it be done under local or local with iv sedation? I don't particularly want to go under general anesthesia if possible. Thank you so much for your feedback in advance.

Answer: Implant removal Some implants can be removed under IV sedation, however that must be decided on an individual basis. If a lift or capsule removal is needed general anesthesia is recommended for your comfort and safety. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more about your procedure and options.
