Awake Breast Augmentation?

Has anybody heard of this or had it done this way? I'm considering it but was curious if there might be any feedback on the board. You are awake through the whole process, they only use local anesthesia. It's kind of cool because they sit you up to look and make sure you're "happy" before they complete it. Plus, it's obviously cheaper with no anesthesiologist (sp?). So, anything you can offer would be appreciated.:crying:

I've heard of it. I think they probably use some iv sedation as well as local; especially if they are going under the muscle. I can only imagine what that would feel like! I am considering a breast lift without implants with iv sedation. I don't want general anesthesia. FYI- If you have any type of sedation, you will need to be monitored by a CRNA or anesthesiologist.
