Local vs general anesthesia in breast fat transfer surgery? Blood thinners after surgery for blood clot risk reduction?

September 1, 2017
Asked By:august42001 in Arkansas, AR

Of the doctors here who perform breast fat transfer surgery, do you use local or general anesthesia? I have read that the risk of death and complications during surgery are greatly reduced if using local anesthesia. What is your stance on this? Do you use blood thinners after surgery for blood clot risk reduction? I have a family history of blood clots, but have none myself.
