I have lateral displacement and my ps suggested capsulorrhaphy on both breasts, also pocket enlargement towards the center of my chest and scar revision....i have 650 cc silicone implants. Can this be done under local? If so does the patient have to be monitored by machines at all? My ps suggested doing it under local with no other sedation. I would like some thoughts and opinions on this

Answer: Surgery under local anesthesia Like many operations we often perform under general anesthesia many could also be performed under local anesthesia. If your procedure is limited in scope local anesthesia could be possible. If you are more comfortable with general anesthesia I Susie t your surgeon would be willing to have this done so it’s worth asking.

Answer: Secondary Breast Aug/Pocket Revision Under Local- A Good Idea? Hi Versatile.Can a pocket revision be done under local anesthesia only? I guess so. Should it be done under local anesthesia only? I wouldn't recommend this at all. I see no benefit to this approach, and plenty of down sides to it. My opinion is that you would be more comfortable under general anesthesia and I personally would not consider local only.
