Most plastic surgeons will perform a breast reduction under general anesthesia.

  • Tucson, AZ

The anesthesia that is chosen for your breast reduction surgery depends on you and the surgeon. If I am doing a a scarless breast procedure, it is performed under local anesthesia with sedation as needed.
