IMMEDIATELY POST-OP: Breast Augmentation Patient Shares Her Awake Surgery Experience
Jan 29, 2026
R. Brannon Claytor, MD, FACS

"This was an amazing experience end-to-end. I feel so confident walking out of here."

This 43-year-old subfascial breast augmentation patient JUST finished her awake surgery. Since her operation was under local anesthesia, she was up and ready to go home just 10 minutes post-op

"There's not other way to describe this feeling other than delight."

She was surprised with how easy it was to undergo the procedure. She wanted more upper-pole fullness rather than a larger breast size, so she opted for an implant similar to her current size.

Directly after surgery, she feels no pain, just a some added weight to her chest.
