Does My Breast Augmentation Surgery Require a Hospital Stay?

Watch this video by Samuel Shatkin Jr., MD, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Buffalo, NY as he explains which breast augmentation procedures do, and do not, require hospitalization.

Most of our breast augmentations are done in the office based surgery center, and the patients go home the same day. When needed, in particular, if it’s a sub-muscular implant, we will have the patients go to the hospital under general anesthesia, but they will go home the same day.
