Maybe conscious sedation, straight local is hard for large amounts

Hisham Seify, MD, PhD answers: Local anesthesia for Brazilian Butt Lift?

I am afraid of getting general anesthesia, but want to get a brazilian butt lift. Can it be performed under local anesthesia?

It depends on the amount of fat needed for harvesting and grafting. In general fat transfer could be done under local if small amounts are needed.

In larger fat transfer it will be hard to perform under staright local.Another option to consider is a conscious sedation in addition to local anaesthesia.
