Awake Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills

At Dr. Kenneth Kim Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kim, offers advanced breast enhancement techniques to help you achieve natural-looking results with greater comfort and a significantly faster recovery.

Unlike traditional surgery performed under general anesthesia, awake breast augmentation in Beverly Hills uses local anesthetia only to keep you relaxed and comfortable during the procedure. This approach means you can enjoy a smoother surgical experience while significantly reducing the risks associated with general anesthesia.

What Is Awake Breast Augmentation?

Awake breast augmentation is a procedure Dr. Kim performs in Beverly Hills using local anesthetic, without general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Patients can remain comfortable and relaxed throughout surgery.

By avoiding general anesthesia, patients can also avoid many of the risks and complications associated with being fully under during surgery. This can include postoperative grogginess, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and disorientation. Some studies have found that prolonged exposure to general anesthesia or IV sedation is associated with a higher risk of cognitive decline compared with procedures performed under local anesthesia.

Our awake breast augmentation patients often experience less downtime and a smoother and faster recovery. Because the procedure is performed under local anesthesia only, patients are able to get up and move on their own and begin their recovery right after surgery.

During consultation, Dr. Kim will carefully evaluate you to determine whether awake breast augmentation is the right option based on your health history, aesthetic goals, and anatomy.

Why More Patients Are Choosing Awake Breast Augmentation

Many Beverly Hills patients are looking for procedures that prioritize safety, comfort, and recovery. Awake breast augmentation provides an alternative to traditional breast augmentation performed under general anesthesia for patients who prefer to avoid general anesthesia while pursuing their aesthetic goals.

The benefits of awake breast augmentation may include a lower risk of blood clots, none of the memory loss associated with general anesthesia, reduced post-operative nausea, and improved comfort during recovery.

What Can Awake Breast Augmentation Improve?

The aim of awake breast augmentation is to enhance breast volume and shape and improve overall body proportions. We will customize your procedure to meet your goals and natural anatomy. Breast enhancement may help address concerns such as:

Naturally small breast size
Loss of volume after pregnancy, weight loss, or with age
Breast asymmetry
Lack of upper breast fullness
Desire for enhanced body contour

During your consultation in Beverly Hills, we will discuss implant size, shape, placement, and incision options to help ensure your awake breast enhancement surgery has balanced, natural-looking results.

Recovery After Awake Breast Augmentation

Recovery following awake breast augmentation is often smoother than procedures performed under general anesthesia.

Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and closely monitor your healing process to support optimal results and comfort throughout recovery.
