Watch this video of
Dr. Slenkovich performing
silicone breast augmentation on a patient under local anesthesia. This patient was fearful of general anesthesia and opted for local anesthesia instead.
This type of anesthesia, administered via injections along the sides of the torso, allows the patient to be awake and alert during the procedure.
