Ok, im going to my local doctor thursday, 2 days, to get my chest checked out. FINALLY.
Well ive been watching videos of surgery, seems like an easy procedure, you can even be awake for it. I know they give numbness stuff but can you still feel any of it? Besides, i dont want to be awake when someone is yanking my nipple around to get that stuff out lol seems painful, but i doubt you feel a thing.

Most doctor's use either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to put you to sleep.  There are those that only use local, but it doesn't seem to be very common.  I sure has hell wouldn't want to be awake.  It was so nice falling asleep on the table and then waking up in a comfy chair wrapped in blankets feeling all relaxed and loopy :D .

Many get the surgery done "awake". If you want request you are put fully "out". From what people have said though while they were awake they felt NO pain.

Yeah, I'm sure most docs would numb up the area first before inserting the local anesthesia needle.  My doc even numbed up my arm with a extrememly small needle before he inserted the much larger IV needle.  I was happy for that....I don't like needles.

i had first surgery under general and the revision awake.  I preferred awake because I drove home right away.  it is actually quite a painless, enjoyable experience.

I'd honestly do whatever just to get it over with, with good results. Im going to a doctor in about an hour to have it checked out.  ;D
