This is possible but ill advised. It can be done with local and sedation but can be very uncomfortable especially if the implants are placed under the muscle. I prefer general anesthesia so that you are comfortable and I can do a good job. During surgery, I sit the patient up and sometimes use breast sizers. You really want to have operation the first time.. Good Luck.
