Is breast implant surgery done as an outpatient surgery or is there a hospital stay...

Q:

Is breast implant surgery done as an outpatient surgery or is there a hospital stay involved?

A:

Yes, breast augmentation is usually done as an outpatient procedure. No overnight stay is required. You may be permitted to go home after a few hours, unless you and your plastic surgeon have determined that you will stay in the hospital or surgical facility overnight.

A:

Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient surgery. If there are special considerations a patient may elect to have surgery performed in a hospital with overnight observation.
