• You will sleep throughout and won't notice the procedure.
• General anaesthesia is used for more extensive procedures and for implantations under the pectoral muscle.

Modern technologies make general anaesthesia particularly gentle. Nausea and fatigue, which were common in the past, now occur only very rarely.

Sedation

Characteristics of twilight sleep:

• Artificial ventilation is not required; you wake up faster compared to a general anaesthetic.

Our patients frequently report that they have no recollection and found the treatment very pleasant - an optimal solution for minor procedures or for women who wish to avoid a general anaesthetic.
