Chin
Smart lipo under the chin has mixed reviews on results. Some surgeons love it others don't think it is all that great. It should be done under local.

Laser Liposucion under local anesthesia
The procedure should really be very tolerable but is dependent on the surgeon's technique. Ideally you have some light oral sedation in the form of valium, etc. The only discomfort you should feel is the initial placement of local anesthetic.
