Can You Get Breast Implants Under Local Anaesthetic?

Awake Breast Augmentation: A Popular Alternative at Centre for Surgery

Breast enlargement surgery consistently remains one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures across the UK. For many years, undergoing this surgery meant having general anaesthesia. However, general anaesthesia can cause anxiety for some patients, making them reluctant to pursue their desired aesthetic enhancement. Recognising this concern, Centre for Surgery is proud to offer an advanced alternative: breast augmentation performed using local anaesthesia combined with sedation.

This innovative approach allows patients to remain awake yet relaxed throughout the procedure. Instead of full sedation, our anaesthetists use carefully administered medication to numb the treatment area while keeping you calm and comfortable. Patients typically describe the experience as surprisingly relaxed, with little to no discomfort. Not only does this approach ease anxieties about being fully asleep, but it also offers a quicker recovery time with less downtime following surgery.

Centre for Surgery is one of only a handful of specialist clinics in the UK providing awake breast augmentation with sedation. Our highly skilled plastic surgeons have more than two decades of international experience. Having trained at renowned medical centres in countries such as Brazil, Turkey, and throughout the UK, our surgeons bring world-class expertise to every procedure. Their knowledge and skill ensure that each patient receives personalised care with meticulous attention to detail.

Patients can confidently achieve naturally beautiful results with awake breast augmentation. The procedure is suitable for women who want implants of up to 350cc, offering a noticeable yet natural enhancement. Our expert surgeons will work closely with you to select the ideal implant size and shape, carefully tailored to your body and aesthetic goals. The result is a beautifully enhanced figure without the concerns typically associated with general anaesthesia.

Local Anaesthetic Breast Augmentation at Our London Clinic

Our breast augmentation under local anaesthetic blends trusted surgical techniques with enhanced patient comfort. Unlike traditional surgery under general anaesthesia, this method lets you stay awake but relaxed throughout the procedure. Your surgeon ensures your chest area is entirely numb, providing a comfortable experience from beginning to end. The implants are carefully placed above the chest muscle, creating a beautifully natural appearance with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.

If you’ve researched alternatives to traditional breast augmentation, you might have come across a procedure known as the MIA Femtech “15-minute boob job.” While this technique has gained attention due to its speedy approach, it has significant limitations. It can only accommodate smaller implants, usually up to just 195cc, limiting the extent of enhancement available. Additionally, because it’s relatively new, the procedure lacks comprehensive safety data, raising uncertainties regarding its long-term effectiveness and durability.
