Mastopexy under local anesthesia
Asked 2024-01-22
I had a consultation with a surgeon who is listed as ABPS certified. He suggested a breast lift under local anesthesia in his office. I wanted to ask if performing a mastopexy under local anesthesia is advisable and safe?

Advisable, probably not. Possible, certainly. Safe, most likely. Depending on what type of mastopexy you require, and assuming that you asked to have it done under local anesthesia.
It depends on a few factors but a breast lift can be done awake safely with local anesthesia. I offer that also and patients have been happy with the experience.
