General Anesthesia is your only guarantee for no pain

Kevin Ende, MD answers: Pain during cosmetic eye surgery despite sedation?

Is there a chance you feel pain with I.V. sedation in eye cosmetic surgery? I'm considering a Brow lift and lower Blepharoplasty, but I'm worried that I will feel some pain during the procedure.

Although both procedures are generally well tolerated under local anesthesia with sedation, general anesthesia is the only way to guarantee no pain.  Surgeon preference generally dictates which type of anesthesia is used, but you should talk to your surgeon about your concerns.
