do you have to be completely knocked out for surgery?September 6 2007 at 6:11 AM | Black Sheep (no login) |
| Anesthesia scares me...that's honestly the one thing stopping me from breast implants. Do you have to be completely knocked out for surgery? I mean, women have c sections and they are not "sleeping", they are awake...can you do the same for implants? Or do you have to be 100% knocked out? |

General anaesthetic is the norm for breast implants. Most surgeons will use general anaesthetic during the surgery, but some surgeons will use a sedative and a local anaesthetic. It can depend on how the implants are being inserted. |

No, you don't. I know several people that were wide awake, and others that only had twilight sedation. |

Wide awake? Whilst breast implants were being put in? How awful if this is really true. |

I don't see how someone having breast implants inserted could be left wide awake through the procedure. |

You could go for something like macrolane if you worried about anasthetic. All they do is numb you up a little bit, just like when you go to the dentist and have a filling. Macrolane is very expensive though. |
