Awake surgery is one of the most popular options for breast augmentation procedures. This means that awake breast augmentation is not only cheaper than going under general anesthesia but it can also be much safer. In addition to these benefits, if you are interested in getting breast augmentation you should also consider being awake for the procedure because it will give you more agency as a patient. You can take a look in the mirror at any point and ensure that your breasts look symmetrical. By making sure you and your surgeon are on the same page you will have more control over the end result.
